Upgrade meta-xfce core components from 4.20.x to the 4.21.x
development series.

This patch series must be applied as a whole and individual patches
should NOT be cherry-picked independently, because of the following
dependency chain:

libxfce4ui 4.21.x moved libxfce4util-1.0 from Requires to
Requires.private in its pkg-config file, so `pkg-config --libs
libxfce4ui-2` no longer emits -lxfce4util. This causes DSO missing
link errors for autotools consumers that use libxfce4util symbols but
rely on libxfce4ui to pull in the link dependency. As a result, all
downstream components that depend on libxfce4ui must be upgraded
together, and several packages require additional build fixes:

- xfdesktop: switch to meson build system to correctly declare
  libxfce4util dependency and avoid the DSO link issue
- xfwm4: backport patch to add missing libxfce4util build flags
- xfce4-datetime-setter: fix link failure due to missing libxfce4util
  dependency
- xfce-polkit: fix link failure by adding missing gtk+-3.0 dependency
- xfce4-datetime-plugin: fix build with xfce4-panel 4.21.x API changes

Recipe upgrades (patches 01-10):
  libxfce4ui        4.20.2 -> 4.21.7
  garcon            4.20.0 -> 4.21.0
  xfce4-appfinder   4.20.0 -> 4.21.0
  xfce4-power-manager 4.20.0 -> 4.21.1
  xfce4-session     4.20.3 -> 4.21.1
  xfce4-panel       4.20.1 -> 4.21.1
  xfce4-settings    4.20.1 -> 4.21.1
  tumbler           4.20.1 -> 4.21.1
  thunar            4.20.7 -> 4.21.4
  xfconf            4.20.0 -> 4.21.2

Build fixes (patches 11-15):
  xfdesktop, xfce4-datetime-plugin, xfwm4,
  xfce4-datetime-setter, xfce-polkit
