Provide all licenses used in the project in a LICENSES folder and
add SPDX license and copyright information for all files in
accordance with the Reuse Software[0] specification.
The copyright information is based on the file's git history,
using a fairly generous definition of "non-trivial".
As of the spec recommendation, the information is generally added
as comments in the files themselves, except for
- NEWS, README and similar top-level standard files, so that
a SPDX code isn't the first thing people encounter
- files that don't support comments (json) or where they'd
be a bit awkward (.desktop, .service)
- anything under po/, to not interfere with translation teams
Those are covered by a .reuse/dep5 files, except for image assets,
where separate .license files are used (It would be possible to
add comments to SVG files, but I don't trust image editors to
preserve them).

As gnome-shell is moving to ESM, it will now load extensions as
standard modules instead of using legacy imports. The change boils
down to exporting the Extension class as default, but we can also
start using standard imports for introspected modules now, so do
that at the same time.

gnome-shell started transitioning to gjs' object spacing rule,
i.e. `{foo: 42}` instead of `{ foo: 42 }`.
We have a much smaller code base than the shell and aren't using
a secondary "allowed-but-deprecated" configuration that allows a
gradual transition, so just pull the switch and update to the new
style.
