Writting the screenshot to a file can take a relativly long time
in which we block the compositor, so do that part in a separate
thread to avoid the hang.

This commit introduces a "session type" for
gnome-shell. It essentially defines what
mode of operation the shell runs in
(normal-in-a-users-session mode, or at-the-login-screen mode).
Note this commit only lays the groundwork. Actually
looking at the key and appropriately differentiating
the UI will happen in subsequent commits.

shell_global_get() currently implicitly instantiates the shell
global singleton the first time it's called. This means there's
no opportunity to set construction-time properties on the singleton.
This isn't an issue yet, because there aren't any. We will need it
in the future, though, when we grow a --gdm-mode that gets exposed as
a property through the global singleton.
This commit adds a new _shell_global_init() function that must be
invoked before shell_global_get() can be called.

Adds methods to shell_global to allow taking screenshots
save the result into a specified png image.
It exposes three methods via shellDBus applications like
gnome-screenshot:
*) Screenshot (screenshots the whole screen)
*) ScreenshotWindow (screenshots the focused window)
*) ScreenshotArea (screenshots a specific area)

Build gnome-shell as a binary linked against libmutter-wm, instead of
a module to be loaded by libmutter-wm. Move the majority of
initialization-type stuff from gnome_shell_plugin_start() into main().
We still build libgnome-shell as a shared library, so that the linker
doesn't discard all the methods that are never called from C.

The gnome-panel allows the user to hover over a tasklist entry
while draging to activate a minimized or obscured window and drop onto it.
Implement a similar behaviour by allowing draging to the activities button or
the hotcorner (and thus opening the overview), which allows the user to
activate any window (even on different workspaces) as a drop target.

MutterWindow and MutterPlugin have been renamed to MetaWindowActor
and MetaPlugin, mutter_plugin_list_windows() to
meta_plugin_list_window_actors(). Adapt to those changes.
