We want to replace gjs' custom (and now legacy) imports system
with standard EcmaScript modules: JS developers are already
familiar with them, they have better tooling support and using
standard features over non-standard ones is generally the right
thing to do.
Our D-Bus services are separate from the main process, and thus
can be ported separately (except for the few imports that are
shared with the main process' code base).

After porting the more complex cases - in particular those that
affect a module's API - we are left with straight-forward D-Bus
method calls that can be moved to promise-based wrappers in one
go.
For consistency, this also switches from Remote to Async where
the call result is ignored.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2344>
If the finish function isn't specified, promisify will now try
to use the async name without '_async'/'_begin' suffix (if any)
and '_finish' appended.
Everything except IBus uses a variation of that pattern, so there's
quite a bit of boilerplate we get to remove…

All fd.o Notifications signals are emitted for a particular notification,
so debugging aside, only the owner of said notification has a legitimate
reason to act on it.
So far we (and other implementations like the old notification-daemon)
have relied on the client-side to properly filter the signals (like
libnotify), but at least the QT implementation is known to not do
that.
Enforce correct client behavior by only emitting the signal to the
original sender.

For fd.o notifications, we are taking the sender's PID into
account when associating notifications with sources (mainly
to deal with notify-send).
This broke when the implementation under the well-known name
was moved into a separate service, as the implementation in
gnome-shell will now always see the public notification-daemon
as sender.
Restore the old behavior by resolving the sender PID in the
separate service, and pass it as hint to the implementation
in gnome-shell.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/2592
Add a small service that exposes the Fdo notification API under the
well-known name, and forwards any requests to the actual implementation
in the shell.
That way any app with permission to talk to org.freedesktop.Notifications
will get exactly that, and nothing more.
