The tool was added in 2018 to migrate to per-desktop overrides from the
old overrides system.
5 years later, everyone who’s going to migrate probably has migrated, so
we can delete the script and remove a process running on every login.

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.

These two are moving into gnome-shell to unify screenshot handling and
allow for same-frame capturing.
While we're at it, move the keybindings .xml file from g-c-c here
because it belongs to gnome-shell.

- move all icons to the icons directory
- rename some icons to be more meaningful
- put all icons on a resource sheet
- update references to icon name changes
- deprecate icons for those in standard set

The migration happened in GNOME 3.6 over 9 years ago. The chances
that someone migrates from 3.0.x or 3.2.x to 41 are very much zero.
And if it were to happen, it wouldn't work anyway, because we stopped
using a separate overrides schema.

Move the GNOME shell service file adapation for x11/wayland into the
target/service files. This means that the session definition can simply
pull in org.gnome.Shell.target, without having to care about whether it
is starting an X11 or wayland session.
Note that this currently requires fork'ing to do the test. This will
however not be needed in the long term when ConditionEnvironment becomes
available (see https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/15817).
We technically do not need to use template units. But doing so means
that the unit can be translated to the app id more easily (though it is
not yet completely clear how this should look like in the long term).
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/895
In general we want to move towards using reverse domain names for
systemd units. Doing this also means we have a consistent name between
desktop file and systemd unit, allowing us to create a generator that
pulls in the unit as defined in the sessions RequiredComponents.

Now that the extension preference dialog is opened by a separate
D-Bus service rather than the Extensions app, it can be opened
without a parent window that provides name and icon.
Fix this by adding back a hidden .desktop file.

The existing units were never used as the corresponding support was
never merged into gnome-session.
This commits updates units to be usable with the newer gnome-session
unit definitions. Also added is appropriate failure/restart logic
including the ability to disable extensions. Note that extensions will
only be disabled if a failure happens in the first two minutes after
login.

As gnome-shell is a required component for GNOME sessions, gnome-session
will currently always try to autostart it. However as we are moving towards
using systemd's user instance for session startup, gnome-session should only
be responsible for launching the shell when either not running under systemd
or when we were built without systemd support.
gnome-session can detect the former but not the latter, so communicate this
via the newly added X-GNOME-HiddenUnderSystemd key in the .desktop file.

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.

While the new per-desktop overrides in GIO are easier to use for
both developers and users, it is still inconvenient for everyone
who changed the defaults using the old overrides hack to lose
their settings. Address this by running a small script on startup
that migrates existing settings.

GSettings now recognizes per-desktop overrides that can be used
to change schemas' default values for a particular desktop. This
is not entirely unlike our existing custom override mechanism in
mutter, except that it is not limited to keys in org.gnome.mutter,
and it doesn't require a separate schema - the latter means that
we (and gnome-teak-tool) no longer have to figure out the correct
schema for the current login session and just use the original one.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=786496
So that we can be started by systemd --user, instead of gnome-session.
There are three units:
- gnome-shell.service: Start gnome-shell itself.
- gnome-shell-x11.target, gnome-shell-wayland.target: Sync points for
units that need to care if x11 or wayland is in use.
gnome-settings-daemon will use these, for example.

Meson is on track to replace autotools as the build system of choice,
so support it in addition to autotools. If all goes well, we'll
eventually be able to drop the latter ...
