A portal review by the design team has concluded that
it is better to have all portals as application-modal
GTK dialogs, instead of mixing them with some system-modal
shell dialogs.

Clocks has exactly the same issue as Weather: Its integration currently
relies on accessing its settings directly, which isn't possible when
the app is sandboxed.
Fix this the same way we did for Weather, by adding our own setting
and syncing it with the app via a custom D-Bus interface.

Our current Weather integration depends on poking around the app's
settings, which we cannot do when the app is sandboxed (as its
filesystem is "hidden away" in a container in that case).
So instead, use our own GSettings schema for the settings, and sync
it with GNOME Weather via a custom D-Bus interface.

Here's a template string with '/' that escaped commit 94423151b2,
resulting in an xgettext warning when generating the .pot file.
Simply move it into the resource like the other interface descriptions
to make xgettext happy again.

Add a D-Bus API that allows the API user to introspect the application
state of the shell. Currently the only exposed information is list of
running applications and which one is active (i.e. has focus).

Commit dbf993300a moved all inline D-Bus interface descriptions to template
strings so we can stop escaping line breaks.
Unfortunately that unveiled a grave bug in xgettext, which currently cannot
handle files that contain both backtick and slash characters - as a result,
translations from affected files have started to disappear as translators
run xgettext/msgmerge.
Instead of reverting the change and getting the crusty escaping back, we
will take this as an opportunity to stop inlining the XML altogether and
load it from a resource instead.
To facilitate that, add a small helper method that loads a D-Bus interface
description from a dedicated resource bundle.
