Draft: Give users more control over extension updates

Florian Müllner requested to merge fmuellner/gnome-shell:auto-updates into main

This MR:

  • adds an option to disable automatic extension updates
  • exposes it in the Extensions app
  • adds an action in the app to explicitly check for updates

I'm marking it as a draft because it needs design work:

  • there's a risk of extensions not getting updated at all
  • the "automatic updates" and "check for updates" actions both look like options
  • possible feature creep (for example updating individual extensions)

That is, the MR is mostly about "parking" the code somewhere upstream, so it doesn't get lost 🤷
