Introduce a new class, EventEmitter, which implements signal
handling for pure JavaScript classes. EventEmitter still
utilizes GJS' addSignalMethods internally.
EventEmitter allows static typechecking to understand the
structure of event-emitting JS classes and makes creating
child classes simpler.
The name 'EventEmitter' mirrors a common name for this pattern
in Node and in JS libraries.

Plain classes are private to their file, so accessing them from
another module results in the following warning:
That property was defined with 'let' or 'const' inside the module.
This was previously supported, but is not correct according to the
ES6 standard.
Fix by assigning the class to a public variable instead.
(Eventually switching to ES6 modules with proper imports/exports will
fix this as well)

Commit 4cda61a1 added support for pre-authenticated logins in
oVirt environments. This feature prevents a user from having
to type their password twice (once to the oVirt management machine,
and then immediately again in the provisioned guest running gnome-shell).
That feature is currently oVirt specific, but a similar feature would
be useful in non-oVirt based virt farm environments.
Toward that end, this commit generalizes the various aspects of the
oVirt integration code, so that it can be reused in a subsequent
commit for adding single sign on support in vmware deployments, too.
