9c4cee7875 overview: avoid round-off errors when sizing and positioning view selector
We need the view selector to extend all the way to the right edge of the
monitor, so size and position the view selector in a way that the sum of
its X position and its width add up to the primary monitor width.

f39e693324 overview: Split a public init() function out of the constructor
The Overview does not only hold the different elements visible in
the overview, but is also a central point to manage drag signals.
As objects which are constructed in the overview constructor cannot
access Main.overview (as its constructor has not finished yet), we
use misnamed show/hide methods to work around this limitation, which
are called when entering/leaving the overview.
A better way to handle this problem is to remove the limitation
altogether by splitting the overview constructor between internals,
which remain in the constructor, and more complex objects which
need to access Main.overview, and whose initialization is moved
to a public init() function which is called by main.js after the
overview has been constructed.

eb8fc738af swipe-scrolling: Take threshold into account during drag
On button-release, a threshold is used to determine if the gesture
should be considered a click and thus ignored. While the drag is
active though, the controlled actor is dragged immediately. As a
result, dragging by a tiny amount does not trigger a snap back when
the action is interpreted as a click. As a fix, do not update the
dragged actor's position until the same threshold is passed.

b9e1d917da swipe-scroll: Don't eat button-release events on click
The main overview group starts capturing events on button-press
events to implement swipe-scrolling. While reactive children of
the group which handle both button-press and button-release events
don't trigger swipe-scrolling, children that only rely on
button-release have stopped working - at least the primary/secondary
icons of the search entry are affected. While the capture handler
already checks the pointer movement between press and release to
determine whether the action should be considered a click rather
than a drag, it still blocks the release event from propagating.
Instead, only block release events for drag actions, but not for
clicks.

a6da22fa70 overview: Add a facility for swipe-scrolling
The workspaces view allows to drag the active workspace to swipe-scroll
to the next or previous workspace. While this behavior can come in handy
in general, there are good reasons to move the functionality to the
overview:

 - Finding a spot on a workspace to start a drag can be hard,
   especially when the workspace contains a single window
 - With the new layout, workspaces have no visible border, making
   it hard to predict where a drag can be initiated
 - The same behavior is equally useful for other elements

So add setScrollAdjustment() to the overview, which allows setting
an adjustment controlled with swipe-scrolling (either horizontally
or vertically); only a single adjustment can be controlled at a
time. A swipe-scroll can be initiated on any part of the background that
is not occupied by a reactive actor. For cases where further control
is needed, 'swipe-scroll-start' and 'swipe-scroll-end' signals are
emitted.

ee6a852996 XDND: Don't reset switch timeout when pointer is over the same window
Currently we reset the timeout on every mouse movement which means
the user has to keep the mouse at the exact same position for 1.25
seconds.

Be more tolerant and allow the user to move the mouse over the
window without reseting the timeout, which should make activating
windows easier.

ceedc7e32c Implement cross overview drag & drop
The gnome-panel allows the user to hover over a tasklist entry
while draging to activate a minimized or obscured window and drop onto it.

Implement a similar behaviour by allowing draging to the activities button or
the hotcorner (and thus opening the overview), which allows the user to
activate any window (even on different workspaces) as a drop target.

62507c9759 Add a facility to show the stage without grabbing
When the user is doing a drag-and-drop, we want to temporarily show the
stage to allow them to drag to a different window. But we're not "really"
in the overview, and getting a grab would conflict with the X client doing
the drag and drop.

So add a showTemporarily()/hideTemporarily() pair of methods that show
the overview without grabbing.

This adds a lot more possibilities for asynchronous race conditions, so
rework the code to be more robust against multiple calls to show*()
and hide*(). The interpretation is now that all calls to show*() and
hide*() affect the state, but if we have conflicting calls to show and
hide we wait until the current animation is finished before correcting
to the right visual state.

whose items are scaled dynamically to fit the available height.

item size, excess items are cut off.
The now unused old dash implementation is renamed to OldDash, as
its code will be used as a base for the new view selector element.

f24e567dc4 overview: Do not zoom the desktop background
While scaling the desktop background with the window previews represents
workspaces quite intuitively, the approach is not without problems.
As window previews in the overview behave quite differently to "real"
windows, the representation of workspaces as miniature versions of
"real" workspaces is flawed. The scaling also makes the transitions
to and from the overview much more visually expensive, without adding
much benefit.
Leaving the background in place provides more visual stability to the
transitions and emphasizes the distinctive behavior of elements in the
overview.
