This commit removes all the uses of Shell.GenericContainer from
SwitcherPopup.SwitcherList. Compared to the other patches, this
one was specially trickier to get right, and a few invasive
changes needed to be done.
The most noticeable one is that the allocation of the items is
done entirely by St.BoxLayout -- we don't manually allocate them
anymore. To make it work, get_preferred_width() had to calculate
the correct value. It now assumes that:
* Minimum width: the minimum width of the widest child.
* Natural width: the minimum width of the StBoxLayout (use it
instead of the natural width to force the labels to ellipsize
when too long.)
The AppIcon class became a St.Widget subclass as well, to override
get_preferred_width() and be able to keep the squared shape.
Besides that, add a new SwitcherButton class to reimplement squared
icons without having to resort to hacks in the size allocation
machinery. This class has a single vfunc override to ensure that it
is squared when the SwitcherList is.
The arrows indicating multiple windows are now in this._list
actor to the SwitcherPopup itself, since this._list automatically
manages its own children now.
At last, adapt (but preserve) the hack in CyclerPopup.

Instead of overriding vfunc_get_preferred_width|height(), use the
already available Layout.MonitorConstraint to bind SwitcherPopup
to the primary monitor.
This commit turns SwitcherPopup.SwitcherPopup into a St.Widget
subclass, and gets rid of Shell.GenericContainer usage. Subclasses
were adapted to that too.
This class introduced a new challenge: it overrides show(). As per
discussions, we now call this.visible = true inside show().

In the process of purging all usages of Shell.GenericContainer
of GNOME Shell, one specific problematic situation that might
occur is when classes have functions that would clash with any
ClutterActor or StWidget function name.
One of such example is SwitcherPopup.destroy(). Right now, this
class is a pure JavaScript class that wraps a real actor, but
soon this will change, and it'll become a St.Widget subclass.
Another problem with functions that mimic the toolkit ones is
the predictability of them; after calling destroy(), that widget
is expected to not be available anymore. In SwitcherPopup case,
it is still available for a short while. In this case, that's not
a big problem, but the show() and hide() functions in other clases
are more problematic because the actor's visibility does not
follow that.
This commit is a first step in cleaning that up, and changes the
SwitcherPopup.destroy() to fadeAndDestroy().

Shell.GenericContainer exposes the size negotiation machinery
through the use of signals. Signals are not specially performant.
One of the reasons is that they acquire a global lock for signal
handlers lookup. GNOME Shell has more than 2,000 actors at any
given point in time, up to 20 levels deep in hierarchy, making
size negotiation and painting non-trivial tasks. Such a critical
section of Clutter's machinery shouldn't rely on signals
whatsoever.
Regardless of that, Shell.GenericContainer is a workaround to
a non-existing issue anymore. It shouldn't be used anyway, and
any performance improvements that removing it can potentially
yield are bonuses to it.
This commit starts this work by removing Shell.GenericContainer
usage from Panel.Panel class. The class now extends St.Widget,
and as such, it has no "this.actor" field set anymore. A couple
of places where this actor field was used are adjuste as well.
It is important to notice that we now allocate the Panel itself
inside vfunc_allocate(). This was previously done before emitting
the signal by Shell.GenericContainer.

ClutterVirtualInputDevice has the limitation that event flags won't be
made to contain CLUTTER_EVENT_FLAG_INPUT_METHOD, possibly causing feedback
loops.
As the event gets injected up the platform dependent bits, we can avoid
care on not pressing the same key twice, we still expect coherence between
key presses and releases from the IM though.

When adding a favorite, we add the ID to the list of favorites, save the
setting and add the new app to the favorites map. However as writing the
settings value already results in reload() to update the favorites map,
the new app is usually already in the map when we add it.
The only exception is when the ID was found in the RENAMED_DESKTOP_IDS map,
in which case we end up adding both the renamed app and the original one.
Fix this by simply relying on reload() to properly update the map, just like
we already do in _removeFavorite().

On X11, reactive chrome must be added to the input region in order
to work as expected. However that region works independently from
any window stacking, with the result that the unresponsive-app dialog
currently blocks all input in the "covered" area, even in windows
stacked above the unresponsive window.
The correct fix would be to track the unobscured parts of the dialog
and set the input region from that, but that's quite cumbersome. So
instead, only track chrome when the corresponding window is focused
(or the dialog itself of course).

As a mount operation's UI may be reused (for example after mistyping
the password), we only close the operation once the mount has finished
(successfully or with error).
We therefore need to track ongoing operations, which we currently do
by monkey-patching the corresponding volume object. However while the
underlying GVolume object indeed remains the same through-out the
operation, the JS wrapper object isn't referenced anywhere and may
thus be garbage collected, resulting in a stuck dialog.
Fix this issue by tracking active operations explicitly, so that all
involved objects are referenced until the end of the operation.

Whenever a command runs in the run dialog, it
will be added to the history unless it is
already the last entry. This does not apply
for entries that are not consecutive, which can
result in long chains of commands which
alternate, e.g. lg, r, lg, r, lg, r. Not only is
this wasteful in terms of space, but also
inconsistent with how history works elsewhere,
e.g. in the shell.
Therefore, remove entries in the history that are
equal to the one that will be added to the end of
of the history when the entry already exists.

The `hints` and `settingName` parameters to the agent call may define
the specific list of secrets NM actually needs from the user. This
seems to have been the intended use of these two parameters but only
recently did NM with the IWD backend start to use this to request 802.1x
secrets. So if `hints` is provided, ask user for the specific secrets
listed there and don't even look at what type of EAP method is in use.
Only the three types of secrets actually in use by NM's IWD backend are
supported for now -- they happen to be the same three that
_get8021xSecrets() had already supported.
gjs now relies entirely on introspection data to determine parent
types and implemented interfaces, so in order to have all methods
and properties resolve correctly, we must include the corresponding
GIRs of all types used.

This attribute was previously only assigned in show(). hide() compares
this attribute to 0. If hide() is called before show() is first called,
the comparison would give the correct result (undefined > 0 is false)
but log a warning:
JS WARNING: [resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/workspacesView.js 529]:
reference to undefined property "_restackedNotifyId"
Initialize this attribute in _init(), alongside _scrollEventId and
_keyPressEventId which are also used in hide().
dialogContent is set to one of the elements of the list DialogContent,
but not all of those have a checkBoxText property. When logging out (as
opposed to shutting down), this causes a warning:
JS WARNING: [resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/endSessionDialog.js
763]: reference to undefined property "checkBoxText"
(The line number corresponds to this line in 3.28.3.)
The warning is apparently not triggered if the undefined property is
used as part of a boolean expression:
gjs> var x = {};
gjs> x.a;
typein:2:1 strict warning: reference to undefined property "a"
gjs> if (x.b) { log('oh no'); }
gjs> x.c || ''
""
_setCheckBoxLabel() just checks the truthiness of its 'text' argument,
and the empty string is false-y, so passing '' rather than undefined has
no functional effect.
In recent Fedora 29, connecting to wifi access points from the
user menu (top-right menu) does not work. Clicking the 'Connect'
button just animates it but does nothing else. The logs show an
error "JS ERROR: Error: Expected type utf8 for Argument
'specific_object' but got type 'undefined'".
Looking into this, it seems the problem is these uses of the
`path` property of an NMAccessPoint. NMAccessPoint inherits
from NMObject, and NMObject *does* have a path property:
https://developer.gnome.org/libnm/stable/NMObject.html#NMObject--path
so at first glance this seems fine. But I poked around a bit
using libnm via Python (which goes via introspection, just like
this JS code does), and found that indeed AccessPoint objects
don't seem to have a `path` property there either.
Looking at the libnm code, this actually makes sense, because
the property is marked "(skip)":
https://github.com/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/blob/master/libnm/nm-object.c#L1291
and the introspection docs suggest that means it should be left
out of introspected output:
https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GObjectIntrospection/Annotations#Symbol_visibility
I'm a bit concerned that this was only found recently - whereas
the change to use `.path` in gnome-shell dates from October 2017
(d71af5e5) and the property has been marked (skip) in NM since
at least 2016 - but this all seems to add up. The obvious fix is
to replace use of `.path` with `.get_path()`, which returns the
path and is *not* marked (skip) and so *is* available via
introspection. I tested that this works in Python and also did
a test build of gnome-shell with this change and installed it on
an affected system, it does seem to fix the bug.

Commit a76b28bd moved the dbus-interfaces to the
dbus-interfaces directory without changing the
path for docs build as well, resulting in a fail
of the build when building with gtk_doc=true.
So change the path in the build accordingly to
ensure that the build does not fail when building
with gtk_doc=true.

gjs's D-Bus convenience explicitly expects a string representation
of an interface, but the new convenience method to load an XML
description from a resource introduced in commit f42d9df3e0 only
returns a string when using gjs from the GNOME 3.30 release. We
have so far managed to keep compatibility with the previous stable
gjs release, so fix up the fallback code to cast to string.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/578
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.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/537
We'll soon move the inlined XML of all interfaces we export or consume into
separate files. That's a significant increase from the interfaces for which
we install documentation, so it makes sense to use a dedicated subdir.
