fix g_signal_connect_object() documentation

g_signal_connect_object() now works properly, so we can remove the note
in the docs about it being broken.

@ -3687,24 +3687,10 @@ g_value_dup_object (const GValue *value)
* ensures that the @gobject stays alive during the call to @c_handler
* by temporarily adding a reference count to @gobject.
*
* Note that there is a bug in GObject that makes this function
* much less useful than it might seem otherwise. Once @gobject is
* disposed, the callback will no longer be called, but, the signal
* handler is <emphasis>not</emphasis> currently disconnected. If the
* @instance is itself being freed at the same time than this doesn't
* matter, since the signal will automatically be removed, but
* if @instance persists, then the signal handler will leak. You
* should not remove the signal yourself because in a future versions of
* GObject, the handler <emphasis>will</emphasis> automatically
* be disconnected.
*
* It's possible to work around this problem in a way that will
* continue to work with future versions of GObject by checking
* that the signal handler is still connected before disconnected it:
* <informalexample><programlisting>
* if (g_signal_handler_is_connected (instance, id))
* g_signal_handler_disconnect (instance, id);
* </programlisting></informalexample>
* When the object is destroyed the signal handler will be automatically
* disconnected. Note that this is not currently threadsafe (ie:
* emitting a signal while @gobject is being destroyed in another thread
* is not safe).
*
* Returns: the handler id.
