overview: Remove desktop fade logic

Daniel van Vugt requested to merge vanvugt/gnome-shell:remove-desktop-fade into main

It existed to fade out/in nautilus-desktop for the overview, but it only ever worked for X11 sessions (Meta.WindowType.DESKTOP) and nautilus-desktop no longer exists anyway.

While I had suggested extending it in the past (!1395 (closed)), that work was never finished and since then the DING extension has implemented its own visibility toggling. There seems little value in keeping the old fade logic around in gnome-shell. Removing it actually fixes a bug with DING (https://launchpad.net/bugs/1965072).
