Promises make asynchronous operations easier to manage, in particular
when used through the async/await syntax that allows for asynchronous
code to closely resemble synchronous one.
gjs has included a Gio._promisify() helper for a while now, which
monkey-patches methods that follow GIO's async pattern to return a
Promise when called without a callback argument.
Use that to get rid of all those GAsyncReadyCallbacks!

Since PackageKit 1.11.1, the prompt to install updates on the end
session dialog has been (mostly) broken. The problem is that it only
works if PackageKit is running at the time the end session dialog is
opened; otherwise, our GDBusProxy has invalidated all of its properties,
which we read to see if update is possible. We need to autostart
PackageKit before reading its properties to fix this problem. That would
be easy if we were calling a method to see if an update or distro
upgrade were available, but since we're just checking a property, using
cached properties won't suffice. We'll have to manually check the
property value to ensure we autostart PackageKit.
Most of the code is written by Florian. Thanks Florian!

xgettext gained some support for template strings, and no longer
fails when encountering '/' somewhere between backticks.
Unfortunately its support is still buggy as hell, and it is now
silently dropping translatable strings, yay. I hate making the
code worse, but until xgettext really gets its shit together,
the only viable way forward seems to be to not use template
strings in any files listed in POTFILES.

Since ES5, trailing commas in arrays and object literals are valid.
We generally haven't used them so far, but they are actually a good
idea, as they make additions and removals in diffs much cleaner.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/805
ES6 allows to omit property names where they match the name of the
assigned variable, which makes code less redunant and thus cleaner.
We will soon enforce that in our eslint rules, so make sure we use
the shorthand wherever possible.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/805
Clutter originally cluttered its namespace with key symbols, before
prefixing all symbols with KEY. We still use the unprefixed symbols
occasionally, replace them so mutter can drop the deprecated symbols.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/808
Every since commit aa394754, StBoxLayout has supported ClutterActor's
expand/align properties in addition to the container-specific child
properties. Given that that's the only container left with a special
child meta, it's time to fully embrace the generic properties (and
eventually remove the child meta).

Remove the `this.actor = ...` and `this.actor._delegate = this` patterns in most
of classes, by inheriting all the actor container classes.
Uses interfaces when needed for making sure that multiple classes will implement
some required methods or to avoid redefining the same code multiple times.

We currently use no less than three different ways of indenting
object literals:
let obj1 = {
foo: 42,
bar: 23,
};
let obj2 = { foo: 42,
bar: 23 };
let obj3 = { foo: 42,
bar: 23
};
The first is the one we want to use everywhere eventually, while the
second is the most commonly used "legacy" style.
It is the third one that is most problematic, as it throws off eslint
fairly badly: It violates both the rule to have consistent line breaks
in braces as well as the indentation style of both regular and legacy
configurations.
Fortunately the third style was mostly used for tween parameters, so
is quite rare after the Tweener purge. Get rid of the remaining ones
to cut down on pre-existing eslint errors.

The updatesPermission is currently initialized synchronously, which
blocks the Mainloop for quite some time and therefore slows down startup
of the shell, let's do it asynchronously instead.

While we aren't using those destructured variables, they are still useful
to document the meaning of those elements. We don't want eslint to keep
warning about them though, so mark them accordingly.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/627
Those unused arguments aren't bugs - unbeknownst to eslint, they all
correspond to valid signal parameters - but they don't contribute
anything to clarity, so just remove them anyway.

GNOME Shell is spitting out some errors in the journal due to its attempts
to speak to PackageKit, which is not present on Endless OS, so let's add
some runtime checks to make sure that PackageKit is actually available
before assuming so and using its proxy to decide which kind of UI to
show to the user when ending the session.

While we have some style inconsistencies - mostly regarding split lines,
i.e. aligning to the first arguments vs. a four-space indent - there are
a couple of places where the spacing is simply wrong. Fix those.
Spotted by eslint.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/608
We are currently inconsistent on whether case labels share the same
indentation level as the corresponding switch statement or not. gjs
goes with the default of no additional indentation, so go along with
that.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/608
We are currently inconsistent with whether or not to put a space
after catch clauses. While the predominant style is to omit it,
that's inconsistent with the style we use for any other statement.
There's not really a good reason to stick with it, so switch to
the style gjs/eslint default to.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/607
We can use that newer method where we don't care about the actual position
of an element inside the array.
(Array.includes() and Array.indexOf() do behave differently in edge cases,
for example in the handling of NaN, but those don't matter to us)

Make the dialog a widget itself, removing the `_group` property used for
handling the actor.
Update all the inherited classes to be also GObject implementations, moving all
the signals to proper object ones.

In order to replace GTK+'s GtkPolicyType. It's bit-compatible with it, too.
All callers have been updated to use it.
This is a purely accessory change in terms of X11 Display usage cleanup,
but helps see better what is left.

ES6 finally adds standard class syntax to the language, so we can
replace our custom Lang.Class framework with the new syntax. Any
classes that inherit from GObject will need special treatment,
so limit the port to regular javascript classes for now.

dialogContent is set to one of the elements of the list DialogContent,
but not all of those have a checkBoxText property. When logging out (as
opposed to shutting down), this causes a warning:
JS WARNING: [resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/endSessionDialog.js
763]: reference to undefined property "checkBoxText"
(The line number corresponds to this line in 3.28.3.)
The warning is apparently not triggered if the undefined property is
used as part of a boolean expression:
gjs> var x = {};
gjs> x.a;
typein:2:1 strict warning: reference to undefined property "a"
gjs> if (x.b) { log('oh no'); }
gjs> x.c || ''
""
_setCheckBoxLabel() just checks the truthiness of its 'text' argument,
and the empty string is false-y, so passing '' rather than undefined has
no functional effect.
If we're started by systemd, we won't be in the user's display session.
However, this is still the session that will get locked & unlocked. Ask
logind what the 'display' or 'greeter' session is, and watch for the
Unlock signal for that session to know when to unlock.

When not using arrow notation with anonymous functions, we use Lang.bind()
to bind `this` to named callbacks. However since ES5, this functionality
is already provided by Function.prototype.bind() - in fact, Lang.bind()
itself uses it when no extra arguments are specified. Just use the built-in
function directly where possible, and use arrow notation in the few places
where we pass additional arguments.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/23
Any symbols (including class properties) that should be visible
outside the module it's defined in need to be defined as global.
For now gjs still allows the access for 'const', but get rid of
the warnings spill now by changing it.

The following code is a syntax error in ES6:
let a = 'something';
let a = 'other thing';
Previously GJS would silently accept this code, but in the next release the
SpiderMonkey JS engine will be more ES6-compliant.
