Indicators Scroll events are not emitted in 19.04

[Ed Bruck]

[ Impact ]

Scroll events aren't delivered to app-indicators

[ Test case ]
 - Run an indicator that supports scroll events (i.e. radiotray-ng or run
   https://github.com/ubuntu/gnome-shell-extension-appindicator/blob/master/indicator-test-tool/testTool.js with gjs
 - Scroll events should be delivered

[ Regression potential ]

Scroll events over other shell actors aren't working (i.e. changing volume with scroll)

---

It appears the code used in the 19.04 packaging of the appindicator is from master and not the tagged ubuntu-19.04 commit from the ubuntu branch. The master branch is not delivering scroll events, which stops my application (radiotray-ng) from being able to adjust its volume levels.

I've swapped out the code under /<email address hidden>/ with the ubuntu branch and scrolling on an indicator icon works again.

I've filed an issue on github as well.

Upstream ubuntu branch wasn't updated since we synced from debian, so the branch isn't wrong.

The issue has to be fixed upstream as well, so I'll do that.

synced, SRU uploaded as a backport of the eoan version

SRU team: there's a delta in testTool.js too, but this is not in the binary package

Thank you for fixing this. The app-level volume control is working great now by scrolling on top of the RadioTray icon.
