We should update the Evolution stack to 3.24 for Ubuntu 17.10. The big change here is that it now uses cmake instead of autotools.

The update is staged in this PPA and rebuilds of all rdepends have been done:
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-desktop/+archive/ubuntu/transitions/+packages

I made a few packaging changes we should review with Debian.

1. I dropped https://sources.debian.net/src/evolution-data-server/3.22.7-1/debian/patches/01-noinst-libedbus-private.patch/ and added a libedbus-private0 package and had all the e-d-s libraries depend on it.

2. I dropped https://sources.debian.net/src/evolution/3.22.6-1/debian/patches/10_revert_libevolution_avoid-version.patch/ since it does not directly apply to cmake and it doesn't seem needed. The soname hasn't been bumped in 5 years. I had to have libevolution Breaks/Replaces evolution-dev since there are no .so symlinks any more.

3. I disabled since it didn't seem to be needed.

To Do:
1. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=781645

2. Hook up the new installed-tests packages to be ran as autopkgtests
