In addition to the "overshoot/bumping into monitor edge" behavior we already
have, we also want to switch pages when simply hovering above the prev/next
page indicators.
This page switch shouldn't happen immediately though, it needs to be kicked
off using a timeout instead. The reason for that is that the next/prev page
indicators are large areas, and simply dragging there isn't enough of a
gesture to really interpret as "the user wants to switch pages".
After this page switch has been toggled once, it can be repeated using the
same "repeat" timeout we introduced with the last commit.

Right now we have a behavior in the appGrid where "bumping" the cursor
against the monitor edge during DND switches the page immediately, and
holding it there (at the monitor edge) switches pages again after a timeout.
With the next commit we'll introduce another way of switching pages during
DND, that is hovering over the next/prev page indicator to switch pages. To
allow those two methods to play well together, refactor the "overshoot" page
switching to make the timeout into a more generic "repeat" timeout. This
means we can now divide page switching can be roughly divided into two
different steps:
- Switch page immediately when bumping cursor against screen edge, also
works when repeatedly "bumping"
- Switch page automatically again after a second when keeping the cursor at
the screen edge without moving
We'll reuse the "repeat" timeout that's introduced here in the next commit,
where we'll introduce page switching by hovering the next/prev indicators.

With MR https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2335,
the page navigation in the app grid was redone and prominent, always visible
navigation arrows were added. This larger change in the navigation of the
app grid also involved changes to the drag and drop behavior.
Before those changes (in GNOME 42), switching pages during DND in the app
grid worked like this: By "bumping" the cursor against the monitor/appGrid
edge, an immediate page switch would be triggered. Leaving the cursor in
that edge area would then trigger repeated page switches every second. By
repeating the "bump" gesture (moving cursor back into the grid, then
"bumping" against the edge again), it was possible to switch pages even
faster than every second.
When adding the always visible navigation arrows, we briefly tried out a
different way of page-switching during DND with commit 09b975fa: The "bump
against monitor edge" gesture (or "overshoot" behavior as it's called in the
code) was replaced with a hover timeout on the navigation arrows. The idea
behind that was to allow hovering the navigation arrow during DND to
eventually trigger a page switch, which also makes sense.
The replacement of the "overshoot" behavior made some people unhappy though,
so it was decided to bring back the old "overshoot" behavior with commit
4dcae8dd. Due to time pressure before the release that didn't go very well
and we ended up with a mixup of both approaches that doesn't feel too
polished.
So let's try to fix that by first going back to the working "overshoot"
implementation as it was in 42, then slightly refactoring that
implementation, to finally incorporate the new "page indicator hover"
behavior that https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2335
originally intended to use.
This reverts commit 4dcae8ddd2.

When GNOME shell runs on a less memory system (for example 3 GB RAM), it
is usually killed by the kernel OOM-killer easily. Because, it has a
higher OOM score. However, GNOME desktop environment cannot do anything
when the GNOME shell is killed.
This commit adjusts and lowers down gnome-shell process' OOM score to
avoid being killed by the kernel OOM-killer too early. In other words,
sacrifices other processes first.

This means the screen share window view gets updated also when the title
of a window changes. This is important since it often changes shortly
after mapping, which would otherwise go unnoticed by
xdg-desktop-portal-gnome.
An example is launching Files and it showing up as 'Loading..', or
launching a terminal, and it not showing the proper title (current
directory), but some place holder that is never visible on the
application window.
Adding it to the window tracker instead of in introspect.js itself is
for convenience - there is no per window signal tracking there, and it
already listens to the signal emissions about changed windows.

We no longer *require* a merge request URL in commit messages, we
ban them (since Marge is kind enough to add them for us).
While at it, add a small section on prefixes (~~stolen from~~
inspired by mutter).

If we are getting purpose hint changes while the language switcher is popped
up, this likely means the purpose hint was actually triggered by the key
focus change induced by the language switcher popping up.
In this case, we on one hand would like to preserve the state that applied
before thise focus change, and on the other we very much want to avoid the
keymap change that would forget about the keys being pressed.

Extensions can export asynchronous enable() and disable()
functions. To guard against re-entrancy when enabling or
disabling an extension, this commit adds two new states:
ENABLING and DISABLING which are set immediately prior
to calling enable() and disable() respectively.
This commit updates the extensions CLI and Extensions app
with new strings for these states.

When we're running in e.g. CI, or in a virtual machine without hardware
acceleration, and we actually want to enable animations despite the
potential performance implications, change the AnimationsSettings to
only inhibit if we're a XVNC instance or not hardware accelerated if
--force-animations wasn't passed.
Still inhibit animations if there is a remote desktop session that
explicitly disables animations.

If we want to run with the welcome screen showing, it should be done so
explicitly. Hide it if there is a perf test running for now, so that
what we test is what is expected to be tested.
We also don't want to show the root user warning, since we'll be running
as root in the CI containers.

This allows neat tricks like first arranging the script `fakegdb`:
```sh
function ignore_gdb_arg() {
if [[ "$1" == "--quiet" ]] || [[ "$1" == "--args" ]]; then
return 1
else
return 0
fi
}
ignore_gdb_arg "$1" || shift
ignore_gdb_arg "$1" || shift
echo exec "$@"
```
then running
```sh
meson test -C build -v perf-basic --test-args '--wrap "gdb --args"' --gdb --gdb-path `which fakegdb`
```
To make it possible to run the perf test case with gdb running the
actual gnome-shell.

This test runs all of GNOME Shell using the headless backend inside a
mocked D-Bus environment. The basic test tests, well, basic things, like
the panel menu, the overview, showing the app grid view, as well as
going back to the session view.
