GPaste GNOME Shell extension uses GPaste library generated via introspection. Previously, we added the gpaste package to services.xserver.desktopManager.gnome3.sessionPath option, which
added its typelib directory to GI_TYPELIB_PATH environment variable globally, in order for GNOME Shell to be able to find it. This is not very Nix-y, though, so we have decided to patch the code to
append the path to the GI repository search path.
Additionally, the code relies on GPaste’s GSettings schemas, so we had to hard-code the paths to them as well. We ignored the GNOME Shell’s schemas, since they will already be available for the
extension inside GNOME Shell program.

* gnome3: only maintain single GNOME 3 package set
GNOME 3 was split into 3.10 and 3.12 in #2694. Unfortunately, we barely have the resources
to update a single version of GNOME. Maintaining multiple versions just does not make sense.
Additionally, it makes viewing history using most Git tools bothersome.
This commit renames `pkgs/desktops/gnome-3/3.24` to `pkgs/desktops/gnome-3`, removes
the config variable for choosing packageset (`environment.gnome3.packageSet`), updates
the hint in maintainer script, and removes the `gnome3_24` derivation from `all-packages.nix`.
Closes: #29329
* maintainers/scripts/gnome: Use fixed GNOME 3 directory
Since we now allow only a single GNOME 3 package set, specifying
the working directory is not necessary.
This commit sets the directory to `pkgs/desktops/gnome-3`.
