This allows us running uninstalled. While we're at it, though, remove
JHBUILD_TYPELIBDIR. jhbuild shell should add its own stuff to GI_TYPELIB_PATH,
and we don't want to half reimplement jhbuild. The wrapper script should be
solely for the case of running from the source directory, and not care about
jhbuild at all.
If start_shell throws an exception for whatever reason, the finally
handler will run before shell has been set, leading to a "referencing
an undefined local variable" error.
If run under jhbuild, gnome-shell is in PATH, so trying to restore
is just running it again, likely failing in the same way (with the
additional problem of detaching the shell from the terminal). Also,
this is using deprecated GConf keys, and deprecated pygobject
bindings.
The jhbuild wrapper is expected to be run through jhbuild run, or
in the uninstalled case inside a jhbuild shell, so there should
be no need to set XDG_DATA_DIRS and friends.
dconf-daemon is available since 2.32, so there is no need to
start it manually (and in fact, it should not be running normally).
Similarly, notify-osd and notification-daemon should not be
dbus activated, but rather autostarted by gnome-session, and
therefore not running in a gnome-shell session.
Introduce a new gnome-shell-perf-tool, which can be used instead
of the old gnome-shell-jhbuild wrapper to gather data about gnome-shell
performance and submit to shell-perf.gnome.org. This runs the
shell with no extra setup beyond the WM_CLASS filter, so it can
be used for a jhbuild setup or for an installed shell.
The gconf keys used to restore GNOME aren't in a proper GNOME3 environment.
To mimic what GNOME3 gnome-session does would be extremely complicated, so
just launch the system gnome-shell.

When jhbuilding, we use a jhbuilt gobject-introspection, so the
default typelib path is the jhbuild prefix, not /usr. So if we are
using NetworkManager from packages, we need to adjust GI_TYPELIB_PATH
to include it.

* Run gnome-shell-perf-helper during performance tests
* Use MUTTER_WM_CLASS_FILTER to omit all other windows
* Add new Scripting methods: createTestWindow,
waitTestWindows, destroyTestWindows
* Create a single 640x480 test window for testing overview
animation performance.

We need to connect to the NameOwnerChanged signal before we execute the
DConf binary. Refactor things so that we connect to the signal when
we first get the bus object. Split the code for waiting for a D-Bus
name into a wait_for_dbus_name() function for latter reuse.

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 current gnome-shell.in script has a huge amount of
unnecessary complexity for the installed, normal case. Fix
this by adding a configure option (defaulting to false) that
installs a simple, obvious wrapper script around mutter.
We do change the gnome-shell build setup to pass this option
by default for jhbuild.
