Stop checking for fork() across GMainContext

Browse Source 
01ed78d525 introduced assertion checks for
creating a main context, forking, and attempting to use the main context
from the child side of the fork.

Some code (such as gnome-keyring-daemon) daemonise after calling
GMainContext.  That's probably still mostly safe since we still only
have one side of the fork touching the context afterwards.

This use case is still troubling, however, since if any worker threads
have been created at the time of the fork(), we could end up in the
classic situation of leaving some mutexes in a locked state when the
other threads disappear from the copy of the image that the child gets.

This will require some deeper thinking...
