The module is shared between the various D-Bus services and the
main gnome-shell process, so it was originally left out to allow
porting different bits at their own speed.
Now that everything has been ported to ESM, there is no reason
to not move that particular module as well.

We want to replace gjs' custom (and now legacy) imports system
with standard EcmaScript modules: JS developers are already
familiar with them, they have better tooling support and using
standard features over non-standard ones is generally the right
thing to do.
Our D-Bus services are separate from the main process, and thus
can be ported separately (except for the few imports that are
shared with the main process' code base).

After porting the more complex cases - in particular those that
affect a module's API - we are left with straight-forward D-Bus
method calls that can be moved to promise-based wrappers in one
go.
For consistency, this also switches from Remote to Async where
the call result is ignored.

For the screensaver service, it is quite normal that a consumer only
subscribes to the "ActiveChanged" signal without calling any methods.
The result is that we don't know about the consumer, and shut down
the service anyway after we hit the timeout.
If this happens, we break functionality like gnome-settings-daemon's
screen blanking on idle.
Fix this by simply disabling auto-shutdown for the service, which
also reflects the expectation that the screen saver service is
always running in a GNOME session.
