Add GNOME 47 to version list

[ferdnyc]

AFAICT based on https://gjs.guide/extensions/upgrading/gnome-shell-47.html, there's nothing else to do for compatibility.

Fixes #1863

I think once this and #1860 are merged, it's probably time for a release. There are several unreleased fixes GNOME 46 users will benefit from, as well.

I rubber-stamped the last one and it didn't go well, so I'll let someone actively using GSConnect approve this one.

If you provide me a build, I'm happy to test

[ferdnyc]

@derkrasseleo You can download a build by going to the "Checks" subtab, clicking "CI" on the left, and then clicking the "[email protected]" link at the bottom of the page in "Build Artifacts".

Use the Wiki "Install from Zip" instructions to upgrade.

Thanks, seems to work fine for me on arch with Gnome 47 and Pixel 4a with KDE Connect

Given the reported success from @derkrasseleo (and a couple of other users in #1863, who made the metadata.json change themselves, locally), and the fact that the GNOME 47 upgrade guide doesn't indicate there SHOULD be anything we need to change, this one feels much safer than GNOME 46.

But not safe enough for me to feel right about administratively overriding the approval merge requirement, so one of @andyholmes, @sonnyp, @daniellandau still needs to give the nod before it can be merged.

(@daniellandau would also need to do the release of v58, to get it out there on e.g.o. Though I can certainly put together a release PR, if that'd help?)

[ferdnyc]

Well, we've had one report in #1863 of GSConnect "not auto-starting at boot" with GNOME 47. I've requested a lot more info from the user, I guess we'll see what comes of that.

@andyholmes
we need a review here 👀

[ferdnyc]

@Saqr-Sayed

@andyholmes already explained why he's not the dev to approve this, which I can respect. There are others. (Theoretically, at least. Or, worst-case scenario I do have the power to push this through without a review approval. I'm just very reluctant to make that particular flex.)

[ferdnyc]

Well, Ubuntu 24.10 is out for something like two weeks already, with GNOME 47, and Fedora 41 (same) is nearing readiness as well. (Decision is to be made today about a release next Tuesday; it looks like a bug with VNC installations not accepting input might push things one more week, but either way it's imminent.)

So, in the interest of getting GSConnect v58 released, I'm going to push this through without secondary approval, and on my head be it if something breaks.

[ferdnyc]

And Fedora 41 was indeed designated "Go" for release on Tuesday; the couple of outstanding bugs were determined to either have a fix available, or not be serious enough to block the release. So, this was good timing.

(This isn't to imply that Fedora releases are more motivating than Ubuntu releases, when it comes to having compatible GSConnect builds available. The difference is simply that I follow Fedora releases, but not Ubuntu releases, so I had no idea (until I checked earlier today) that Ubuntu 24.10 had already been released two weeks ago. Oops.)
