a88e59c1a8 Adopt EventEmitter class instead of injecting Signal methods
Introduce a new class, EventEmitter, which implements signal
handling for pure JavaScript classes. EventEmitter still
utilizes GJS' addSignalMethods internally.

EventEmitter allows static typechecking to understand the
structure of event-emitting JS classes and makes creating
child classes simpler.

The name 'EventEmitter' mirrors a common name for this pattern
in Node and in JS libraries.
