Also remove E_CONFIG_ASSISTANT and all the assistant support therein.
Move the supporting widgets for the contact maps feature alongside
EABContactDisplay. Removing them from libeutil helps isolate our usage
of libchamplain so it's not imposed on the entire application, and even
3rd party software. That libchamplain is an optional dependency only
further complicates the matter.
Ideally I'd like to somehow isolate this feature in an extension module,
but we currently lack sufficient hooks for such an extension. So this
arrangement will have to suffice for now.
Evolution consists of entirely too many small utility libraries, which
increases linking and loading time, places a burden on higher layers of
the application (e.g. modules) which has to remember to link to all the
small in-tree utility libraries, and makes it difficult to generate API
documentation for these utility libraries in one Gtk-Doc module.
Merge the following utility libraries under the umbrella of libeutil,
and enforce a single-include policy on libeutil so we can reorganize
the files as desired without disrupting its pseudo-public API.
libemail-utils/libemail-utils.la
libevolution-utils/libevolution-utils.la
filter/libfilter.la
widgets/e-timezone-dialog/libetimezonedialog.la
widgets/menus/libmenus.la
widgets/misc/libemiscwidgets.la
widgets/table/libetable.la
widgets/text/libetext.la
This also merges libedataserverui from the Evolution-Data-Server module,
since Evolution is its only consumer nowadays, and I'd like to make some
improvements to those APIs without concern for backward-compatibility.
And finally, start a Gtk-Doc module for libeutil. It's going to be a
project just getting all the symbols _listed_ much less _documented_.
But the skeletal structure is in place and I'm off to a good start.
According to [1], we don't need to worry about GDK's global lock since
we don't call gdk_threads_init() or gdk_threads_set_lock_functions().
The GDK threads API is being aggressively deprecated by GTK+ developers
so let's just abandon it entirely. I've never really understood when
you're supposed to use it or not use it anyway, so it's good to be rid
of this confusion.

This was a hidden feature to load EPlugins from a custom location by
setting the EVOLUTION_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable. It defaulted
to $HOME/.eplugins, which is in violation of the XDG Base Directory
Specification.
Since I've never ever heard of anyone using this and wasn't even aware
of it myself, rather than migrating the folder to a standard-compliant
location I'm just going to drop support for EVOLUTION_PLUGIN_PATH and
put my money on no one noticing. The EPlugin framework is gradually
being decommissioned anyway in favor of the simpler and more flexible
EExtension framework in Evolution-Data-Server.
This splits the giant EMailRequest to individual EFileRequest, EStockRequest, EHTTPRequest and EMailRequest,
making the first two available globally from e-utils, the othe two are loaded only with mailer,
since no other component uses them.
Add e_config_add_skip_check() to install a callback function to
decide whether to skip a particular page in a GtkAssistant, useful
if a page may be blank in certain conditions.
This feature is not used in Evolution 3.4, but will be used in 3.5.
