Florian Müllner 6baf490aab shew: Add small library for dealing with external windows 
In order to support OpenExtensionPrefs()'s parentWindow parameter,
we will need the ability to make a window transient to an external
window identified by a string handle.

This takes the corresponding code from xdg-desktop-portal-gtk and
brings it into an introspectable form, likewise the counterpart in
libportal to export a string handle for a GtkWindow.

Shell External Windows

Shew is a small support library for dealing with external windows.

The code for creating external windows from a handle that are suitable for setting a transient parent was copied from xdg-desktop-portal-gtk.

The code for exporting a handle for a GtkWindow is losely based on code from GTK/libportal.

Stability

This is an unstable library with no API or ABI guarantees, and no soname versioning.

It is not recommended to use it outside the gnome-shell project, and may only be used as a subproject.
