    FIXME: I'm tentatively marking this final for GNOME 40, because it's at
    least no longer incorrect. But here's a lot to improve:

    * I'm not super happy with the "Other" catchall section at the end, but I also
      don't want to add lots of singleton sections. Tweak the presentation.

    * gnome-shell references network-wireless-disconnected but it doesn't exist:
      https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/3827

    * The icons for disconnected states might change:
      https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/adwaita-icon-theme/-/issues/102

    * topbar-audio-volume-overamplified: Write docs on overamplification:
      https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-user-docs/-/issues/117

    * Write docs on setting mic sensitivity, and link in a learn more item:
      https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-user-docs/-/issues/116

    * topbar-network-wireless-connected: We're super handwavy about when this is
      used. We could use some docs on ad hoc networks.

    * topbar-screen-shared: We have no docs on the screen share portal:
      https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-user-docs/-/issues/118

    * topbar-thunderbolt-acquiring: We have no docs on Thunderbolt:
      https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-user-docs/-/issues/119

But this section also gets a seealso from net-wireless.page, and we'd like a

it's not in a schema yet, so it will cause validation errors in CI.
