[bug#51938] [PATCH core-updates-frozen 00/23] Fixes for GNOME packages

[Timothy Sample <samplet@ngyro.com>]

Hi!

In anticipation of the great core-updates-frozen event, I tried to build
the example desktop system on top of core-updates-frozen.  A handful of
GNOME packages were failing, but it is almost all trivial stuff.

A bunch of GNOME packages have invalid “meson.build” files.  Meson 0.60
is slightly stricter than 0.59, causing builds that used to work
(erroneously) to fail (correctly).  Following some of our other
packages, I fixed these failures by just using Meson 0.59.

A handful of GNOME packages still require libsoup 2 rather than 3 (or a
WebKitGTK that uses libsoup 2).

Somewhere along the way (maybe when making colord-minimal?) colord lost
its Vala bindings.  This was causing a build failure for simple-scan.

Between these patches, Guillaume’s XWayland patch from
<https://issues.guix.gnu.org/51900>, deleting at-spi2-core from the
gnome package (cf. <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/51916>), and removing
two broken video drivers from %default-xorg-modules (mach64 and
nouveau), I could boot into GNOME 40 on QEMU!
