    Disable the TopIcons GNOME Shell extension (refs: #16608) · 2ad4585d

    This extension causes crashes (#11188).
    
    It does not work on Wayland (#8309, #12213) so long-term, we need to remove
    it anyway.
    
    So far we've been blocking on the WIP conversion of OpenPGP Applet into a proper
    GNOME Shell extension (#8310) but it's no clear whether it's worth the effort.
    
    In order to learn how much our users rely on this extension and — transitively —
    on OpenPGP Applet, let's disable this extension for one Tails release. While
    TopIcons is disabled by default:
    
     - Users can still use OpenPGP Applet via the system tray in the bottom
       left corner of the desktop.
     - Users who do need TopIcons for other reasons can enable it again
       with 1 command line.
