Certain aspects of GtkMountOperation are broken under Wayland in Gtk3 and won't be fixed. Fortunately it can also use a dbus interface (org.gtk.MountOperationHandler) if a provider exists. This allows us to: - provide the 'device is in use' popup and showing which application is using it, when trying to eject a device. - provide the password/question dialog when mounting devices that require interaction before mounting. - eliminate a lot of code and translations from placesManager, and make the behavior identical when interacting with a device whether from a file manager or Cinnamon's drives applet. Translations are provided by Gtk, Gvfs instead (as when ejecting a device from a file manager). - Adds testMountDialogs.js for theme/dialog testing (activatable via looking-glass). Also replace mount-detection handling in cinnamon-settings-daemon. It was originally part of Cinnamon but mostly removed early on when Cinnamon was forked, and we've relied on csd-automount. With the implementation of CinnamonMountOperation for handling unmount operations, we can bring in the autorun dialog as well. - csd-automount is still used in fallback mode and managed by cinnamon-launcher in those situations (nm-applet, polkit agents are already handled here also). - linuxmint/cinnamon-settings-daemon#445 disables autostarting csd-automount at session startup. - Adds testAutorunDialog.js for theme/dialog testing (activatable via looking-glass).
