gobject: Change GObject notify semantics under static analysis
Coverity notices the `g_object_unref()` call in `g_object_notify()`, but not the paired `g_object_ref()` call. It therefore incorrectly assumes that every call to `g_object_notify()` frees the object. This causes a lot (hundreds) of false positive reports about double-frees or use-after-frees. I can’t find a way to fix this using a model file, so the other options are: * Manually mark every report as a false positive and keep updating them as the code changes over time. This would take a lot of maintainer effort. * Comment out the `g_object_ref()`/`g_object_unref()` calls when running static analysis (but not in a normal production build). This is ugly, but cheap and shouldn’t impact maintainability much. So this commit implements option 2. Signed-off-by: Philip Withnall <pwithnall@endlessos.org>
