Switch from having separate METRICS and METRIC_DESCRIPTIONS objects
in a perf module to a single METRICS array. This is done so the
perf module can define the units for each metric.
In addition to improving the output in the web interface, the purpose
of having units is to give some clue about how to pick from multiple
values from different runs. In particular, with the assumption that
"noise" on the system will increase run times, for time values we want
to pick the smallest values, while for "rate" values, we want to pick
the largest value.

Add --perf-output=<filename> option to gnome-shell that combines
the reports written for each run by the C/Javascript code into
a complete report.
If this option is not specified, a brief human-readable summary
is printed to stdout instead.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=618189
When SHELL_PERF_OUTPUT is set, instead of just dumping out the metrics, dump
a more complete report with:
- Event descriptions
- Metric descriptions and value
- Event log
Helper functions shell_perf_log_dump_events() and shell_perf_log_dump_log()
are added to ShellPerfLog to support this. The gnome-shell wrapper is adapted
to deal with the changed report format.

Add a helper function to write a string as UTF-8 to a GOutputStream.
The signature of GOutputStream:
gboolean g_output_stream_write_all (GOutputStream *stream,
const void *buffer,
gsize count,
gsize *bytes_written,
GCancellable *cancellable,
GError **error);
Can't currently be handled by GJS.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=618189
Add gnome-shell options:
--perf-iters=ITERS"
Numbers of iterations of performance module to run
--perf-warmup
Run a dry run before performance tests
Make a successful run of a performance test return 0 not non-zero,
and handle the difference between that and a 0-exit in normal
usage (meaning replaced) in the wrapper.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=618189
Move the code that starts gnome-shell and waits for it to exit
to a function in preparation for running it multiple times when
doing iterations of a performance test.

Add some basic statistics for allocated memory based on mallinfo(),
and use that to define two metrics:
usedAfterOverview: bytes used after the overview is shown once
leakedAfterOverview: additional bytes used when the overview is
shown a second time.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=618189
Add a facility for defining and recording numeric statistics
as performance events
shell_perf_log_define_statistic()
Define a statistic and the corresponding event type
shell_perf_log_update_statistic_[ix]() -
Update the stored statistic value
shell_perf_log_add_statistics_callback()
Add a function called before collecting statistics
shell_perf_collect_statistics()
Update statistics and record events for them
In addition to the explicit collection, statistics are
recorded at a periodic interval (currently 5s)
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=618189
We want to be able to summarize the behavior of the shell's
performance in a series of "metrics", like the latency between
clicking on the Activities button and seeing a response.
This patch adds the ability to create a script under perf/
in a special format that automates a series of actions in the
shell, writing events to the performance log, then collects
statistics as the log as replayed and turns them into a set
of metrics.
The script is then executed by running as gnome-shell
--perf=<script>.
The 'core' script which is added here will be the primary
performance measurement script that we use for shell performance
regression testing; right now it has a couple of placeholder
metrics.

ShellPerfLog provides a way for different parts of the code to
record information for subsequent analysis and interactive
exploration. Events exist of a timestamp, an event ID, and
arguments to the event.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=618189
To support scheduling performance-measurement scripts that want to run
a number of actions in series, add shell_global_run_at_leisure() to run
a callback when all work is finished.
The initial implementation of this is not that accurate: we track
business in Tweener.js via new shell_global_begin_work(),
shell_global_end_work() functions, and we also handle the case
where the main loop is continually busy.

We don't need to reposition the menu every time its button is
allocated; we can just stick it in the right place when we pop it up
(which is guaranteed to not be during a layout cycle).
(This means that now we won't reposition the menu if the button
moves/resizes while the menu is already popped up, but it's not clear
that we'd want it to anyway, since that could easily result in the
user selecting the wrong item, etc.)
Also, we don't need to override the menu's width any more, so remove
that.

* Align the icons inside text
* Add application name to Quit
* Fade in/out the menu
* Drop some padding around the edges
* Add padding around the separators
* Use a gradient for separators

The API docs for ShellApp claimed it sorted by the last time the
user interacted with the app, but if one closed a window, then
we would fall back to comparing against a possibly much older
timestamp from another window. Fix this by just keeping a
user time per app.
Also clean up the comparison function to explicitly check the state
instead of deferring to the window list.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=618378
Per design discussion, change things back so that when choosing
an individual window, we raise only that window. However
when we select an application, raise all windows.
A behavioral change required to clearly differentiate these
is that when the window thumbnail list is popped up, it no
longer has the first window selected by default. Therefore
the user has to explicitly press the down arrow or use the
mouse to enter individual window selection mode.

The ShellGlobal initialization performs several actions like connecting
to the X server, ensuring directories exist, etc., that are problematic
because we were creating the object even when running the binary for
introspection scanning. During compilation we may not even have X11
available in e.g. autobuilder type environments, and it's just a
bad idea to connect even if we do.
Avoid this by deferring creation of the ShellGlobal object
until the plugin is actually started.
Now that we're initializing things later, remove the connection to
screen changes, and initialize cached ShellGlobal state at the point
when the plugin is set. The root pixmap actor is now sized initially
on creation too. Instead of relying on screen-size-changed being
emitted on startup, explicitly invoke _relayout().

Fetch the names of the user's "subscribed" contacts, and use the
SimplePresence interface to watch for available/away/busy/etc messages
and create notifications for them.
Currently we display notifications when switching between "available"
and "offline"/"extended away", but when switching between "available"
and "away"/"busy" we just add the information to the chat window
without popping up a notification, to avoid spamming the user with
"Bob's screensaver activated" messages.

This is our convention.
The only exceptions are double quotes for words in comments that give
them a special meaning (though beware that these quotes are not truly
necessary most of the time) and double quotes that need to be a part
of the output string.
It was previously possible to add a workspace above the maximum workspaces
limit by dragging an item to the "add workspace" button or using the middle
mouse button click.
Provide the user with feedback in the info bar when it is not possible to create
a new workspace or remove the current workspace.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=591645
This ensures that we launch the new instance of an application on the newly
added workspace in the grid view, in which we don't make the newly added
workspace active by default.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=591645
I have no idea why there existed code that if we saw e.g. min-width
without a width, we assigned min-width to ->width, thus effectively
treating it as a maximum.
Just delete that bit.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=618482
Allow using the middle mouse button to open a new instance of an
application on a new workspace. The middle mouse button function
can be achieved by clicking the left and right mouse buttons
together with a two buttons mouse or holding Ctrl while clicking
with a single button mouse.
