Bug#954422: transition: GNOME 3.36

You've probably seen that parts of GNOME 3.36 (libraries with stable
API/ABI, and leaf applications) are starting to make their way into
unstable, with the rest of GNOME 3.36 staged in experimental. This will
come with the usual libgnome-desktop and mutter transitions:

https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/auto-gnome-desktop3.html
https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/auto-mutter.html

It would probably make most sense to treat gnome-desktop3 and mutter as
a single transition, as we have often done in the past: upstream will
not have tested arbitrary mixtures of 3.34 and 3.36.

I've marked this as moreinfo because the gjs/mutter/gnome-shell part
definitely cannot go ahead until mozjs68 has got through NEW. At the moment
their source code is in experimental, but is not buildable.

This transition is already happening (has already happened?) in Ubuntu.
