Since commit 28c535e34, we use the timezone associated with the ICalTime
instead of the default timezone when converting to time_t. However while
that is correct for most events, for ICalTimes that don't have a timezone
associated we still want to fall back to the default timezone instead of
UTC.

Evolution draws in libsoup, which exposes deprecated types in its
API. While its headers have been fixed to guard the affected symbols,
those fixes aren't in our CI images yet.
Until we get a fixed version, just disable all deprecation warnings
during the include in order to not trip over "foreign" bugs.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/709
We aren't using any deprecated evolution-data-server API, so we can
turn it off; this avoids compiler warnings for glib deprecations
used by those functions, which makes it harder to spot warnings for
our own code base.

The gnome-shell-calendar-server calls to refresh queries even when it
has no time range set, which results in:
a) waste of resources (for example after login),
b) many runtime warnings in the journalctl log, related to
incorrect time range being used.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/244
Otherwise UTC is used which results in a different interpretation of
floating time events. This then could lead to a mismatch with events
generated e_cal_client_generate_instances_sync() which always uses the
default timezone. Such a mismatch would then cause constant invalidation
and reloading.

In commit 7e0e224e0, when moving from e_cal_recur_generate_instances()
to e_cal_client_generate_instances(), the return value of the
ECalRecurInstanceFn callback was accidentally removed; add it
back.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=769156
Instead of querying the client for a list of objects and using
e_cal_recur_generate_instances() to get occurrences for each of
them, we can use e_cal_client_generate_instances_sync() which
combines the functionality of both functions. This doesn't only
save us some lines of code (yay!), but also gives us access to
the real recurrence ID of an event, so we can get rid of the hack
of faking one.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=748226
We use the triplet of source ID, UID and recurrence ID to create
an ID to unambiguously identify an event, which we use to implement
hiding dismissed events from the calendar. However we currently
try to fetch the recurrence ID from the objects returned by
e_cal_client_get_object_list_sync(), which are always the primary
events with no recurrence ID. Instead, we need a recurrence ID
associated with each occurrence.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=748226
Each event returned by GetEvents includes the (currently unused)
UID, which is not always enough to unambiguously identify an event
(different calendar sources, recurring events, ...).
As we will start using the property to record events that have been
dismissed and should be persistently hidden from the calendar, change
it to a truly unique ID.

The libedataserverui dependency is a relic of the old E-D-S API.
As of 3.6.0, E-D-S now centralizes authentication prompts so clients
don't have to display their own. This also allows trading the GTK+
main loop for a plain GMainLoop in gnome-shell-calendar-server.c.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=687189
If evolution-data-server needs to prompt for a password, it will try
to pop up a GTK+ dialog. When GTK+ is not initialized, the result is
a crash. So, initialize GTK+ and run a main loop.
See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=809681
The result is ugly since we have a Gnome-shell-calendar-server fallback
application, but I don't think it's worth installing a desktop file
and having a string break, since this is pretty uncommon (only for
manually added calendars without the password stored in gnome-keyring),
and apparently this is being rewritten for 3.5 to have the dialogs come
the e-d-s daemon rather than from the individual application.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=673608
ECal is deprecated and replaced by ECalClient. This has the
advantage of using e_utils to handle authentication, and should
fix NotOpened errors (that affect in particular webcal calendars
prior to evolution running)
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=671177
Unfortunately the evolution-data-server client-side libraries seem to
block the calling thread. This is a major problem as we must never
ever block the main thread (doing so causes animations to flicker
etc.). In the worst case, this problem causes login to hang (without
falling back to fall-back mode) and in the best case it slows down
login until a network connection is acquired.
Additionally, in order to sanely use these evolution-data-server
libraries, GConf has to be involved and GConf is not thread-safe. So
it's not really feasible just moving the code to a separate
thread. Therefore, move all calendar IO out of process and use a
simple (and private) D-Bus interface for the shell to communicate with
the out-of-process helper.
For simplification, remove existing in-process code since internal
interfaces have been slightly revised. This means that the shell is no
longer using any native code for drawing the calendar dropdown.
