main: Move g_setenv() calls before calls that may start threads

setenv() is not thread-safe and must happen before starting threads. The
g_setenv() calls in main() happened after meta_context_configure(),
which will start a thread via meta_profiler_new() which in its init
calls g_bus_get().

shell/monitor-group: Avoid doing extra work

A lot of our calculations only change based on (unlikely) external
events, simply cache those parts and only update when the underlying
properties actually change.

Notable is base_direction, which was previously being calculated
repeatedly per workspace per monitor on every interpolate — now it's
simply a private int.

This seriously cuts down the number of calls, vs just maths, we need to
do at each step including eliminating a repeated `g_object_get` in favour
of a gboolean flag.

panel: Make quick settings configurable in session mode

Right now the gnome-initial-setup mode has quick settings that aren't
that useful (like "Power Mode" and "Dark Style"). It also has some
that are useful (like "Wi-Fi").

Ths commit allows gnome-initial-setup to decide which settings to show
by adjusting its session mode configuration.

This will also give us the flexibility later to evaluate and change
which quick settings are shown in the lock screen, as well.

The changes are 4-fold:

1. Updating the session mode configuration to include a new
quickSettings property which contains the list of quick settings to
load for the given mode. For backward compatibility, by default, this
property is null which means "load the default set of quick settings".

2. A new QuickSettingsManager class that's akin to ComponentManager but
for quick settings instead of components. It handles importing the
status modules that provide system indicators and quick setting menu
items.

3. Changing the QuickSettings panel menu button to use the
QuickSettingsManager instead of importing the status modules itself.

4. Changing the modules that provide quick settings that are supposed to
span multiple columns in the grid to announce that requirement by
setting a new "expand" propery on the modules indicator quick settings
items array.

introspect: Enhance WindowsChanged DBus API

Splits WindowsChanged into 3 signals: WindowAdded, WindowChanged,
WindowRemoved and nclude the window as an argument. This gives us
the necessary information to tracked each window changed, rather than
requiring continuous calls to GetWindows (returning all windows).

The main consumer of the shell-introspect signals is
xdg-desktop-portal-gnome, so an API break seems reasonable, rather
than introducing a new API.

Get uninstalled libraries from environment in preference to ELF headers

Introspecting the dynamic headers is low-level and full of implementation
details.

It seems that gnome-shell was assuming the address of the string table is
given by taking the DT_STRTAB dynamic symbol table's value (d_un.d_val)
and casting it to an absolute pointer. However, in some environments
(apparently including Debian mips64el) the DT_STRTAB dynamic symbol
table's d_un.d_val can be merely an offset relative to the base address
of the executable in memory. The base address would have to be parsed from
a different ELF header, which as far as I know is not part of _DYNAMIC.

Rather than trying to look up the Shell executable's base address using
dlinfo() or similar, during unit testing it seems easier to pass in the
uninstalled library search path in the environment, along with other
uninstalled paths that we are going to need anyway.

The reason given for not using GI_TYPELIB_PATH in commit 9bc89b82
"main: Prepend RPATH or RUNPATH paths to gir search paths" was that
g_irepository_prepend_library_path() takes precedence, but we can easily
define our own environment variable that takes even higher precedence.
If it's set, we might as well also bypass the PKGLIBDIR, since while
running uninstalled we *only* want to use the uninstalled libraries.

When not running unit tests, it's desirable to make
`./build/src/gnome-shell` something you can run directly, so continue
to parse the ELF headers - but only on x86_64, where we're reasonably
confident that it works and any regressions with a newer glibc will
be noticed promptly.

authPrompt: Disregard smartcard status changes if VERIFICATION_IN_PROGRESS

commit c8bb45b41c3a13ef161103f649aa18938e028a70 introduced a new
verification state, VERIFICATION_IN_PROGRESS, to detect when the user
has already interacted with the authentication prompt, so the
prompt can rate limit the number of times the user can cancel
authentication attempts with the escape key (without also rate limiting
the number of times they can hit escape to go back to the clock without
interacting with the prompt).

That means there are now two states that represent the user actively
undergoing verification: VERIFYING and VERIFICATION_IN_PROGRESS.

It's inappropriate to reset the smartcard service if the user is
actively conversing with it. We try to check for that by looking at the
original verification state, VERIFYING, but we unfortunately, neglect
to account for the new VERIFICATION_IN_PROGRESS state.

The result is that if a user types their smartcard pin at the clock,
and then inserts their smartcard, the pin will get cleared instead of
used, and they have to retype it again.

This commit fixes the oversight, and allows users to again pre-type
their smartcard pin at the clock before inserting their smartcard.

status/keyboard: Ignore purpose hint changes while keymap switcher is shown

If we are getting purpose hint changes while the language switcher is popped
up, this likely means the purpose hint was actually triggered by the key
focus change induced by the language switcher popping up.

In this case, we on one hand would like to preserve the state that applied
before thise focus change, and on the other we very much want to avoid the
keymap change that would forget about the keys being pressed.

main: Only set last-shown-version if welcome actually shown

At startup, if the welcome-dialog-last-shown-version GSetting compares
older than WELCOME_DIALOG_LAST_TOUR_CHANGE, Shell attempts to offer the
welcome tour to the user, and then sets that GSetting to the current
version of Shell.

However, showing the welcome dialog can fail. In particular, if
gnome-tour is not installed, WelcomeDialog.open() returns false and the
dialog is not shown; but there are other reasons, such as another modal
dialog already being open. Previously, welcome-dialog-last-shown-version
would nonetheless be updated in this case, so if you subsequently
install gnome-tour (or on the next login, if there is no modal dialog),
the welcome dialog will not be offered until the next time
WELCOME_DIALOG_LAST_TOUR_CHANGE is bumped.

Instead, check whether WelcomeDialog.open() fails; if so, don't update
welcome-dialog-last-shown-version.

keyboard: Emit key release right away

At the moment the on-screen keyboard doesn't emit the key release event
until the user stops pushing the keyboard button with their pointer.

This means if the user uses the pointer to hold the button down, it can
generate repeat events for some keys.

But this creates a bit of an inconsistency in behavior between keys that
support multiple choices via long press and those that don't. The ones
that support long press, don't repeat, instead they show the available
choices.

Furthermore, key repeat doesn't work for any of the keys with the
wayland backend, since key repeat is a client side thing, and we just
don't have it implemented for this path.

Also, key repeat is repeating the wrong keys right now, even on X11, for
keys that require a shift level (see
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/2045 )

Given key repeat is a dubious feature in an on-screen keyboard to begin
with, and it's only implemented for one backend, and it's not even
completely working on that backend, it's probably best to drop support.

This commit changes the on-screen keyboard to always emit a key
release immediately after each key press.

layout: Add check about whether session should start on Overview

In situations that there are UI applications that are meant to be
started together with the session, it is undesirable to boot into
the overview.

In ideal situations, we would have session management infrastructure
in place that would allow GNOME Shell to find out there's UI services
to be brought up in the startup phase, and be able to decide window
positions and workspaces beforehand.

But we don't have any of that. Add a sneaky file existence test
so the behavior can be tweaked by savvy users and e.g. installers.
The hope being that this is a temporary solution till we have the
ideal framework in place.

shell-mime-sniffer: Ignore invalid file content type

The shell mime sniffer goes through all the files in a directory,
however in case a file content type is not recognized, the GIO function
g_file_info_get_content_type() may return NULL, causing a crash when
looking up into the content type tables, as they are supposed to contain
strings only and they use `g_str_hash` has func, which doesn't support
NULL values.

So, in case we get an invalid content type, let's just ignore it,
without adding it to the cache as we do in the nautilus code that was
inspiring the sniffer.

Pretty much the same case of the previous commit: we want this size

main: Don't override DesktopAppInfo desktop if already GNOME

During the shell initialization we call the (deprecated) function to
override the Desktop environment in Gio DesktopAppInfo to make sure that
applications are correctly shown (as per commit b2fbf5a2), however this
might break the cases in which $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP is already set and
contains GNOME (given that is now a list).

In Ubuntu this is in fact set to: ubuntu:GNOME.
Now, if an application contains NotShowIn=ubuntu, the key will be ignored by
the shell, and the application is still listed everywhere.

So, override the DesktopAppInfo desktop environment only in the case that
the current desktop is not already GNOME.

At the current date I think we could just safely get rid of this override at
all, but there could be still cases where it still might be useful, like when
running as nested in some other environment, so keeping it.

app-cache: add ShellAppCache for GAppInfo caching

This caches GAppInfo so that the compositor thread does not have to perform
costly disk access to load them. Instead, they are loaded from a worker
thread and the ShellAppCache notifies of changes.

To simplfy maintenace, ShellAppCache manages this directly and the
existing ShellAppSystem wraps the cache. We may want to graft these
together in the future, but now it provides the easiest way to backport
changes to older Shell releases.

Another source of compositor thread disk access was in determining the
name for an application directory. Translations are provided via GKeyFile
installed in "desktop-directories". Each time we would build the name
for a label (or update it) we would have to load all of these files.

Instead, the ShellAppCache caches that information and updates the cache
in bulk when those change. We can reduce this in the future to do less
work, but chances are these will come together anyway so that is probably
worth fixing if we every come across it.

workspaceAnimation: Support multiple monitors

Currently, there's one animation for the whole canvas. While it looks fine
with just one screen, it causes windows to move between screens when
switching workspaces. Instead, have a separate animation on each screen,
and sync their progress so that at any given time the progress "fraction"
is the same between all screens. Clip all animations to their screens so
that the windows don't leak to other screens.

If a window is placed between every screen, can end up in multiple
animations, in that case each part is still animated separately.

Otherwise JavaScript aborts the execution of the function
and the drag is never released. That's because _dragComplete

be done after calling this._dragActor.destroy(), which is
the case now.

shell: Ignore non-toplevels for ShellWindowTracker::tracked-windows-changed

Popups and other override-redirect windows are meaningless to everything
that depends on the ShellWindowTracker. Ignoring those windows will result
in less ShellApp::windows-changed signal emissions, and less activity in
the AppMenuButton and everything else that depends on them.

Reduces gnome-shell CPU activity while typing on the Epiphany addressbar,
as the pop up animation there results in a number of xdg_popup being
created and destroyed.
