This make it is easier for the user to figure out on which workspace the
windows are. For instance, terminals related to various activities and put on
different workspaces were previously displayed as an uniform list, with no
visible distinction between the ones from the current workspace and the others.
Now they are physically separated by a thin gray line.
This is also consistent with the way applications are displayed in the
AppSwitcher.

The two parts were mapping windows to applications, and
recording application usage statistics. The latter part
(now called ShellAppUsage) is much more naturally built on top of
the former (now called ShellWindowTracker).
ShellWindowTracker retains the startup-notification handling.
ShellWindowTracker also gains a focus-app property, which is
what most things in the shell UI are interested in (instead of
window focus).
ShellAppSystem moves to exporting ShellApp from more of its
public API, rather than ShellAppInfo. ShellAppSystem also
ensures that ShellApp instances are unique by holding
a hash on the ids.
ShellApp's private API is split off into a shell-app-private.h,
so shell-app.h can be included in shell-app-system.h.
Favorites handling is removed from ShellAppSystem, now inside
appFavorites.js.
Port all of the JavaScript for these changes.

Previously, we had ShellAppInfo, which contains fundamental
information about an application, and methods on ShellAppMonitor
to retrieve "live" information like the window list.
AppIcon ended up being used as the "App" class which was painful
for various reasons; among them that we need to handle window
list changes, and some consumers weren't ready for that.
Clean things up a bit by introducing a new ShellApp class in C,
which currently wraps a ShellAppInfo.
AppIcon then is more like the display actor for a ShellApp. Notably,
the ".windows" property moves out of it. The altTab code which
won't handle dynamic changes instead is changed to maintain a
cached version.
ShellAppMonitor gains some more methods related to ShellApp now.
In the future, we might consider changing ShellApp to be a GInterface,
which could be implemented by ShellDesktopFileApp, ShellWindowApp.
Then we could axe ShellAppInfo from the "public" API and it would
return to being an internal loss mitigation layer for GMenu.

The down arrow is shown when an application with more than one
window is selected, but the window list is not always displayed.
This patch fixes the fact that the arrow was not hidden when one
focus an app with a single window when coming from an app with
multiple windows, if the window list was not displayed.

When we get a ClutterModifierType from Clutter, it might contain
bits not in the enumeration. See bug 59771 for a similar problem
with GdkModifierType.
Add a wrapper Shell.get_event_state() around clutter_event_get_state()
to mask these bits out and only return approved bits.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=597735
gdk_display_get_pointer() sometimes returns values for the mask that
aren't part of the GdkModifierType enumeration, which gjs doesn't like
(bug 597292). Work around that by adding a C wrapper that strips out
the extra flags.

Add a "size" parameter to allow changing the AppIcon size, and then
simplify the constructor by taking an object with parameters like
gobject-introspection constructors do, rather than taking a large
number of miscellaneous arguments.

This slightly changes the behaviour of the alt+tab window, this way:
when using alt-tab on a workspace that contains two or more windows from
the same window, the application selected when hitting alt+tab is the
currently selected application, but the highlighted window is the next
one.
Intended goal is to make it easier to cycle around windows of the same
application while not having to cycle through all the applications first.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=590563
This makes a visible distinction between the apps that only have minimized
windows on the current workspace and the ones that have no window on the
workspace.

This allows defining some custom policy for size allocation.
Currently, the minimum width is always used, but it can be tweaked
afterwards when a sizing policy has been defined.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=590563
Following the idea expressed in bug 590563 by mccann ("Minimized or
hidden applications should appear at the end of the list"), we should
also put applications that have no visible window in the active
workspace at the end of the alt-tab window list, after apps which have
minimized windows in the active workspace.
Fix panel, app switcher, and looking glass to limit themselves to the
primary monitor, and run dialog to limit itself to the monitor
containing the currently-focused window.
The overview is also limited to the primary monitor now (with the
other monitors being blacked out), although the workspaces within the
overview are shaped like the full "screen" (the bounding box of all
monitors). To be fixed later.

Unlike icons in the application well, do not show the glow used to
indicate running apps. It is somewhat redundant here. These are all
running apps and it is fairly clear from the window list if there are
multiple instances available, according to mccann.

The default AppIcon gray border color isn't very visible against a
dark gray background, but a white border looks too bold in the Well. So
allow the caller to override the AppIcon border color, so that the Well
can use gray-on-black and the AppSwitcher can use white-on-gray. (And
then revert the AppSwitcher back to the translucent gray background.)

The "lightbox" effect had support for highlighting a particular
rectangular region on the taskbar when Alt-Tabbing to a minimized
window. Since we no longer use the taskbar, this code is just cruft
now.

We now have functionality in Mutter to grab the keyboard on behalf
of a plugin. This avoids interactions with the key handling code
in Mutter that could leave the user with an inconsistent state
and no way to get out of it.
src/shell-global.[ch]: Change shell_global_grab_keyboard() and
shell_global_grab_keyboard() to shell_global_begin_modal()
shell_global_end_modal() and call mutter_plugin_begin_modal()
mutter_plugin_end_modal() rather than directly grabbing the
keyboard.
main.js: Call global.begin_modal/end_modal from Main.startModal()
and Main.endModal()
altTab.js; Remove call to Main.startModal() - we're letting Mutter
handle modality for Alt-Tab.
main.js lookingGlass.js overview.js runDialog.js: Rename
Main.startModal() to Main.beginModal() for consistency with
naming in mutter and ShellGlobal.

Change the "overlay" actor to be a group of 4 actors that we can
rearrange so as to have a hole in the middle (to cover up the whole
screen except for the highlighted icon). For non-iconified windows, we
still highlight them the old way (raising them above the overlay),
because we don't want square highlights around shaped windows.
Make the indicator in the pop-up move faster.
Quickly fade in the "overlay" window when starting, rather than
showing it abruptly. Destroy it right away rather than just hiding it
when the AltTabHandler is destroyed.
Fix the font size to be the same as the "Activities" button.
Fix a warning when tabbing past an iconified window.
This is a fairly simple implementation, not all that different from
plain metacity's. Further improvements could be made to
js/ui/altTab.js in the future.
