Start using the new methods to simplify signal cleanup. For now,
focus on replacing existing cleanups; in most cases this means
signals connected in the constructor and disconnected on destroy,
but also other cases with a similarly defined lifetime (say: from
show to hide).
This doesn't change signal connections that only exist for a short
time (say: once), handlers that are connected on-demand (say: the
first time a particular method is called), or connections that
aren't tracked (read: disconnected) at all.
We will eventually replace the latter with connectObject() as
well - especially from actor subclasses - but the changeset is
already big enough as-is :-)

We have made good progress on object literals as well, although there
are still a lot that use the old style, given how ubiquitous object
literals are.
But the needed reindentation isn't overly intrusive, as changes are
limited to the object literals themselves (i.e. they don't affect
surrounding code).
And given that object literals account for quite a bit of the remaining
differences between regular and legacy rules, doing the transition now
is still worthwhile.

It's unfortunate that we cannot fully embrace template strings, but
we aren't limited to "legacy" formatting either; replace the last
remaining places where we still use string concatenation to reduce
the difference between regular and legacy style a bit.

All callers have been updated to keep this handle to identify their
own grab.
Also, optionally use the windowing state to determine whether
the grab is suitable for the specific uses. This removes the need
to trying to grab twice in the places where we settle for a keyboard
grab.

Nowadays gjs allows to omit get/set accessors for read-write properties,
and will define reasonable defaults in that case. In many cases we don't
need anything more than the default handling, let gjs handle those props.

Since gjs moved to mozjs60, return values of int8_t arrays can
no longer be treated as strings. We originally made the conversion
conditional to keep working with the (then) stable gjs release.
That was two years ago and we require a more recent gjs nowadays,
so there's no good reason for keeping the old code path.

xgettext gained some support for template strings, and no longer
fails when encountering '/' somewhere between backticks.
Unfortunately its support is still buggy as hell, and it is now
silently dropping translatable strings, yay. I hate making the
code worse, but until xgettext really gets its shit together,
the only viable way forward seems to be to not use template
strings in any files listed in POTFILES.

Since ES5, trailing commas in arrays and object literals are valid.
We generally haven't used them so far, but they are actually a good
idea, as they make additions and removals in diffs much cleaner.

Clutter originally cluttered its namespace with key symbols, before
prefixing all symbols with KEY. We still use the unprefixed symbols
occasionally, replace them so mutter can drop the deprecated symbols.

xgettext got better at recognizing template strings, so we can
replace more string concatenations. Alas xgettext is still buggy
(surprise, regular expressions are hard), so there are still a
handful of holdouts that prevent us from making a complete switch.

Every since commit aa394754, StBoxLayout has supported ClutterActor's
expand/align properties in addition to the container-specific child
properties. Given that that's the only container left with a special
child meta, it's time to fully embrace the generic properties (and
eventually remove the child meta).

This wasn't added on the GObject-ification in commit c4c5c4fd5c. This
introduced warnings and misbehaviors when closing the dialog. (Eg.
pressing the "show OSD" pad action would show stack different dialogs
on top each other).

Similar to the previous work-around, xgettext gets thrown off by
embedded quotes in template strings, in particular where a template
"breaks up" a pair of quotes.
Throw in some more comments to make xgettext happy, but whoever makes
the gettext toolchain not depend on fragile regular expressions will
be drowned in beverages of their choice ...

Remove the `this.actor = ...` and `this.actor._delegate = this` patterns in most
of classes, by inheriting all the actor container classes.
Uses interfaces when needed for making sure that multiple classes will implement
some required methods or to avoid redefining the same code multiple times.

For GObject properties, we follow the convention of all-lowercase,
dash-separated names. Those translate to underscores in getters/setters,
so exempt them from the newly added "camelcase" rule.

While we aren't using those destructured variables, they are still useful
to document the meaning of those elements. We don't want eslint to keep
warning about them though, so mark them accordingly.

Braces are optional for single-line arrow functions, but there's a
subtle difference:
Without braces, the expression is implicitly used as return value; with
braces, the function returns nothing unless there's an explicit return.
We currently reflect that in our style by only omitting braces when the
function is expected to have a return value, but that's not very obvious,
not an important differentiation to make, and not easy to express in an
automatic rule.
So just omit braces consistently as mandated by gjs' coding style.

While we have some style inconsistencies - mostly regarding split lines,
i.e. aligning to the first arguments vs. a four-space indent - there are
a couple of places where the spacing is simply wrong. Fix those.
Spotted by eslint.
