Recent versions of Gettext are able to translate several formats
that are used in GNOME applications. This patch migrates from
Intltool to Gettext by using meson's i18n features.

With the old shell gone, there is no need to work around cut off panel
names (bug #647087). As it stands now, it only confuses translators
(invisible characters are hard to, well, see).

Meson is a build system focused on speed an ease of use, which
helps speeding up the software development. This patch adds meson
support along autotools.

Since we don't maintain two different shells anymore, there
is no need to maintain the two different sets of categories
in the desktop files.
This commit also drops the "#ifdef CC_ENABLE_ALT_CATEGORIES"
blocks, since the previous commit removed that define.

Ensure that the vertical spacing inside each panel is similar.
This makes the transition between each panel smoother and makes
the control center feel more cohesive.
Settings panels are given 32px above and below their content
and 32px vertical space between major sections. 12px space is
placed below headings.
Bluetooth, displays and printers are not addressed.

The search and notification panels have similar list rows,
as they both list applications. This gives the list rows more
consistent layouts - application icons are made to be 32px
throughout and row heights are made to be the same.
Note that the row widths are unfortunately still different.

Following the previous patch, this patch adds the new alternative
categories to the panels' Desktop files. These alternative categories
are only relevant for the alternative Shell, and do not break the
current Shell in any way.

Commit b3be076 added soft hyphens along with a comment for translators
to use those soft hyphens. Except that gettext would only grab the one
line out of the four we wrote for translators to read. Put them all on
the same line so that gettext actually extracts those.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=765778
Note that this fix will not automatically fix translations, which will
need to add soft-hyphens (U+00AD) to their translations themselves, and
will not fix larger fonts for which the split up syllables end up
being bigger than the maximum text width.
It's the best we can do without redesigning the Settings shell, which is
already something planned.

Currently, the search panel looks for search providers in
DATADIR/gnome-shell/search-providers. This won't work when providers are
located in a different directory which is still part of XDG_DATA_DIRS,
which is a valid use case and supported by gnome-shell.
This commit refactors the loader code to scan all the directories
upfront in a separate thread.

Search providers that should be disabled by default come with
a DefaultDisabled=true key in their keyfile, and are enabled
with the "enabled" whitelist, not with the "disabled" blacklist.

This is deprecated in newer automake versions, and this causes warnings
with automake 1.14:
panels/printers/Makefile.am:3: warning: 'INCLUDES' is the old name for
AM_CPPFLAGS' (or '*_CPPFLAGS')
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=732189
Search providers can either have an explicitly configured sort order,
or be in the default alphabetical order based on their name.
Previously, when moving we would always assume that all providers had
a sort order, so moving an unsorted provider would put at the top.
The right thing to do, instead, is to walk the list in visual order
and assign an appropriate sort order, that is then flushed to gsettings.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694975
Previously, we kept the last panel in the configured order last,
after non configured ones.This would assign a sort order to the last
panle that would place it in the middle, but visually sort it last,
and that caused problems when moving it (it would jump into an apparently
random position in the middle, according to the sort ID, and would
move the nearby provider too).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694975
Very few of the panel comments provide information that is very
useful. Update them to supplement the panel descriptions - this
will make the search results more helpful.
