Evaluate GJS script through DBus

Eval GJS GNOME Shell Extension

The original extension is great, i just wanted my to use my username on shell scripts, bit selfish, I know.

As of GNOME 41, the dbus method Eval() is now restricted with MetaContext:unsafe-mode property (see this commit). This extension provides unrestricted Eval() dbus method for running arbitrary code in the compositor.

Features

• Run arbitrary GJS code like you would with GNOME Eval() dbus method.
• Main, Gio, GLib and Meta available by default.
