IconGridLayout is a new layout manager that aims to replace the current paginated layout algorithm implemented by the icon grid. There are a few outstanding aspects of this new layout manager that are worth highlighting. IconGridLayout implements all the mechanisms necessary for a paginated icon grid, but doesn't implement any policies around it. The reason behind this decision is that this layout manager will be used by other places (e.g. the login dialog) that demand different policies to how the grid should look like. Another important aspect of this grid is that it does not queue any relayouts when changing its properties. If a relayout is required, the actor should manually queue it. This is necessary to avoid layout loops. Add the IconGridLayout class. Next commits will do the surgery to IconGrid and any related code to use this new layout manager. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1271
