[gnome-shell/wip/fmuellner/es6-classes: 9/12] cleanup: Port non-GObject classes to JS6 classes



commit b83ab3419f6d5c8dbff1c4b2e18f6cc65e5f6cd2
Author: Florian Müllner <fmuellner gnome org>
Date:   Tue Oct 31 02:19:44 2017 +0100

    cleanup: Port non-GObject classes to JS6 classes
    
    ES6 finally adds standard class syntax to the language, so we can
    replace our custom Lang.Class framework with the new syntax. Any
    classes that inherit from GObject will need special treatment,
    so limit the port to regular javascript classes for now.
