Florian Müllner 3fe45e29e4 theme: Replace gnome-shell-sass submodule with subtree
As the style has grown bigger and more complex, generating the different
variants from a common source has been a good decision. However given how
intertwined the theme is with gnome-shell itself, relying on a submodule
has proven to be quite painful. And as things stand right now, it is going
to get worse:

 - using either pre-generated CSS or generating it at build time is
   odd, and violates meson's strict separation between source- and
   build directories; we are therefore considering dropping the CSS
   and depending on sassc to always generate it at build time

 - with the migration to gitlab, our workflow shifts decisively towards
   branches; however there is no support in either git or gitlab for
   handling two brances of separate repositories consecutively, which
   gets particularly awkward for branches in a private namespace

With those pain points in mind, we will adjust our setup as follows:

 - remove the submodule from gnome-shell and instead import the
   sass as subtree

 - after that, the sass sources can be changed like any other files
   in the repository, and regular contributors can forget that there
   was ever anything special about them

 - whenever we want to update the classic style, we can push the subtree
   changes and bump gnome-shell-extension's sass submodule

In other words: Updating the classic styling will become slightly more
painful, but not much and only for me; in return, everyone else can
stop fiddling with submodules (and buy me a beer).
