This updates GNOME desktop environment and its underlying platform to 45 series, some of the highlights (pain points) are:

gnome-shell{,-extensions} now using ESModules
gsettings-desktop-schemas 45 dropped window shading support
Bumped API version: libmutter-13, sysprof-6, libpeas-2
New core apps: loupe 45 and snapshot 45
GJS using spidermonkey 115
~~Cairo was bumped from a 4-year-old version (1.16.0) to 1.18.0~~ Done separately in cairo: 1.16.0 -> 1.18.0 #257301
xdg-desktop-portal 1.17 reworked how portal implementations are loaded

Nice

Now, all four optional portals are `auto`-enabled so we need to disable them match the previous behaviour. Changelog-reviewed-by: Jan Tojnar <jtojnar@gmail.com>

The original url is now 404. Let's keep this link in sync with the one in doc/manpage-urls.json.

I'm wondering if at this point it wouldn't be a better idea to create a new PR so relevant maintainers are ping accordingly?

Edit(jtojnar): Sorry about the noise. This is just about ready to be merged so we will just do that instead of closing.

Edit(bobby285271): For transparency, the merge was discussed in both #gnome:nixos.org and #nixos-release-management:nixos.org .

I'm currently on NixOS unstable in which this PR has taken effect. https://search.nixos.org/options?channel=unstable&show=xdg.portal.config says I'm supposed to check portals.conf(5) but apropos portals.conf returns nothing. Is there something wrong with the manpage?

Edit(jtojnar): I have moved this to #269577, we accidentally subscribed too many people to this PR so let’s not spam their inbox further.

If you find more problems, please open new issue and ping @NixOS/gnome
