WIP: use standard text styles

Allan Day requested to merge wip/aday/standardise-text-styles into main

Adjust the shell to use the standard text styles that have been developed in gtk#1808 (closed) .

This branch is not ready to be merged. Various issues still exist, and the MR is just intended to facilitate review and development.

Outstanding issues:

  • Since the text size increased, the calendar grid has grown in size and needs to be shrunk back down (ideally keeping the new text sizes)
  • Body text in notification banners has been reduced to 9pt. To my eyes this feels a bit small, but I'm not sure what the best thing to do is, and it's what I've got in my latest mockups.
  • If we keep the body text at 9pt, we need to fix a bug where it becomes 11pt on hover.
  • The large date above the calendar ellipsizes when the month name is long.
  • The title of mount password dialogs ellipsize: image (a shorter title would be better - "Password Required" - but we should also ellipsize the title)
  • Dialogs yet to be tested:
    • Volume is busy
    • Portal request (for example, camera or microphone access)
    • Location services request
    • Keyring unlock
    • Inhibit shortcuts
    • Unresponsive app

Issues that are in bold are beyond my technical abilities! I'm also missing a way to trigger the untested dialogs.
