Description of changes

Package the Argos GNOME shell extension, which lets you add custom information and menus to the panel by writing a script that prints to stdout.

It’s on the extensions portal, but the latest Git version is required for GNOME 42 compatibility.

Not sure whether we want to include this: p-e-w/argos#108

I'd prefer to see attempts at bringing the version from extensions.gnome.org back to the latest version, or some fork that takes the lead.

Can this use the more automated extension packaging? https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/tree/master/pkgs/desktops/gnome/extensions

@SuperSandro2000 No, this would require the extension to be available for the latest GNOME shell version on extensions.gnome.org. It isn't though, which is part of the problem.
