The container is useless for building or running gnome-shell unless
it includes the correct mutter version, so building it by default
makes sense.
However a manual build can be significantly faster when there's an
existing build dir, so add an option to skip the automatic build.

A toolbox created by the script can be used as the base of a pet
container that is manually updated with new dependencies over time
and accumalates additional packages; or it can be used as a deposable
container that is recreated each time the dependencies change.
To make the latter case more convenient, add a --replace option
that deletes an existing toolbox before creating the new one.

The script is a thin wrapper around `toolbox create`, mainly to
avoid the tedious image names. In addition, it allows us to
ensure that the container includes a matching mutter version.

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.

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.

The script was used by a distcheck hook to check for files that are
in git, but not the distributed tarball. We dropped autotools support,
so the script is no longer used - in fact, it isn't useful anymore,
as `ninja dist` generates tarballs from git itself rather than from
a separately maintained list of files ...
gnome-shell-build-setup.sh is generally useful for working on GNOME.
If moving on from hacking on gnome-shell to some other module,
having the checkout location be ~/gnome-shell is a little odd and
cumbersome, so start out checking things out into ~/gnome/source
and installing them into ~/gnome/install.
Add a warning if the old ~/gnome-shell exists to avoid unnecessary
checking out of every module again.

Someone starting gnome-shell development work needs git-bz set up.
Install it into the user account much like we install jhbuild.
(Getting git-bz packaged into distributions would be better, but
this improves thing easily.)

Adding ignore_suggests = True avoids building some large modules like
evolution speeding the build. But more importantly, it removes
gnome-disk-utility from the build. gnome-disk-utility has a hard
dependency on udisks-1.99, which is not found on anything but the
latest systems.

* Consolidate all dependency information into one place, rather than
having a comment and per-distribution lists.
* Remove packages that are in the GNOME moduleset;
jhbuild sysdeps --install will install these when possible.
* Install 'apt-file' and run 'apt-file update' on Debian-based distributions.
* Actually run sudo rather than prompting the user to run it and exiting;
the exit-and-restart approach doesn't work for 'apt-file update'.
* Run 'jhbuild sysdeps --install'

This adds contacts search to shell, powered by libfolks.
Changes:
- Add Folks and Gee to the build system
- ShellContactSystem, a backend in C
- ContactDisplay, search frontend in JS

The DBus interface for the battery status is now provided by the
power plugin of gnome-settings-daemon, so there's real reason to
keep building gnome-power-manager.

The upower version in the moduleset is too old for the power plugin
of gnome-settings-daemon. As at least Fedora and Ubuntu have a
recent enough version in their repositories, use that instead of
bumping the version in the moduleset.

Previously we got by with using the 0.8 tarball as evolution-data-server
only requires libgdata >= 0.7, but as gnome-online-accounts is now build
by default, we need it from git master.
