While the gnome-shell reverse dependency shell extensions regression
mitigation discussion is still in progress, I think we can unblock the
yaru-theme portion as it's unrelated to this. I have been told this
update is safe to go in without the gnome-shell part, and is needed for
some future fixes.

Bug description:
[ Impact ]
That's the current GNOME stable update, including some fixes and translation
updates
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/commits/3.36.6
Since the theme side of the project in ubuntu is shipped via Yaru
theme, that project is included in the SRU.
The changes involving yaru here are ONLY gnome-shell upstream changes applied
to the Yaru sources, as per this we can consider them also part of the GNOME
release.
In fact:
- Ubuntu's GNOME shell uses a Yaru theme based on upstream
gnome-shell This theme basically takes the shell's data/ directory,
applies some diffs and generates a gresource file out of it, that it's
then loaded on startup (in place of the upstream one).
- GNOME Shell applied some fixes to the theme (se its data/
directory diffs)
- In order to get those fixes in Ubuntu main session we have to sync
the upstream changes applied to such dir to yaru's src/gnome-shell
path
- You can easily compare the diffs applied there to match the ones
happening in its upstream counterpart.
The yaru-theme's `gnome-shell/upstream` directory is just for documentation
and
to allow three way merges when updating to new versions of gnome-shell,
and it is not used for generating the final packages at all
[ Test case ]
The update is part of GNOME stable updates
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates/GNOME
GNOME Shell and its components should continue working
[ Regression potential ]
There have been fixes in popup-grab handling, gdm view fixes,
lockscreen display changes in some hw, extensions updates
