Settings no longer exposes a slider for the keyboard brightness,
leaving keyboard shortcuts as the only way of adjusting it.
This is good enough in most cases, because devices with keyboard
backlight usually include corresponding keys on their keyboard.
However for devices without those keys, it would be good for the
settings to be exposed somewhere again. Quick settings seems like
a more appropriate place than "proper" Settings, since it gives
quick access that doesn't require a major focus change.

Sandboxed apps that run without a window are detected by the new
background monitoring service, introduced by xdg-desktop-portal.
We have an opportunity to improve the predictability of the desktop
and ensure that application state in transparently reported to users
by showing these apps, and allowing them to closed.
Add a new background apps menu to the quick settings, that is always
added at the bottom of the popover, and has a slightly custom, flat
style applied to it.
Show background-running apps in this menu, and allow closing them
by first attempting to execute the 'quit' action through D-Bus, and
if that fails, sending SIGKILL to the process.

Menu toggles are currently regular toggles with an additional
arrow button. This allows for a simpler implementation, but
has downsides with regards to keyboard navigation and hover
feedback.
To make it more obvious that the two parts of the menu toggle
perform different actions, change the overall structure of the
toggle to *contain* a regular toggle and the menu button.
That way each element uses its own hover effect, and shows up
in the keynav focus chain.

Add a subtitle label to QuickToggle, with a less prominent font.
Make the subtitle invisible when no text is present.
This new property will be used by next commits to implement quick
settings with a static title, and a changing subtitle.

Now that wi-fi devices will be handled by a separate menu toggle
instead of as part of a combined system menu, there is no longer
a need of delegating network selection to a separate dialog.
To keep the menu from growing too much, the (sorted) list of
displayed networks is kept at a limit of eight. There is always
Settings for a complete list…

Now that the old system menu has been ported over, we can move
the power toggle to its intended place. The main difference to
the stand-alone toggle is that the button now uses its natural
size rather than the fixed size of regular quick items.

This port is a bit messier than the previous ones, because the
existing menu section translates less directly to the new UI,
which uses a row of individual toggles for settings, lock and
shutdown.
In order to not complicate the grid layout further by supporting
rows with a different number of columns than the overall grid and
children at their natural size, create a custom, non-reactive
SystemItem item that spans an entire row, and contains the individual
toggles.
This works quite well, even with the shutdown item that uses a menu
for the various actions.

Now that the QuickSettingsMenu supports child menus, it is time
to add menu support to quick toggles.
Do that by introducing a QuickSettingsItem parent class with a
construct-only :has-menu property, as that will allow including
menus in items that aren't following the standard icon+label
pattern of QuickToggle (yes, we'll have some of those).
A common parent class also allows us to control the type of
menu that is created. That's important, as we need another
custom menu type to
- constrain the menu's y position to place it underneath
the source actor
- use open/close animations taylored for this use case

The quick settings menu is a popover that arranges items in a
reflowing, homogeneous grid. Grid children may span multiple
columns, but not rows.
For now the QuickSettingsMenu that contains the grid is just a
convenience wrapper around the layout manager that does the heavy
lifting. The two will become more intertwined when we add support
for menu toggles though, so the custom menu type is unfortunately
needed.
