Volume overdrive

Didier Roche requested to merge didrocks/gnome-settings-daemon:volume-overdrive into master

Currently, volume up key sets volume back to 100%, if volume previously surpassed 100%. The idea is to allow via a settings key (pushed in GNOME 3.28) to allow volume above 100% via media keys and the Shell.

The patches were on https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=710424 for the g-s-d part, reviewed by Bastien at the time. They were pending then GNOME Shell patches to be merged, which just happened for the 3.29.90 release (gnome-shell!2 (merged)).

There is an optional parameter in the OSD call (backward compatible) letting the Shell knows to show the maximum level in addition to triggering the overdrive limit. This results on another icon (pushed as well in 3.28) being used.

I just rebased the patches on latest g-s-d master branch, and gave an extensive round of testing with latest GNOME Shell with overdrive enabled/disabled.
