Add glib__private__() API to share between glib,gio; port GWakeup to it

Historically we've added random symbols to the public API with warnings
that they're private; examples are:

glib_gettext(), glib_pgettext()
g_thread_functions_for_glib_use, g_thread_use_default_impl, etc.

And we almost added "GWakeup" to public API just to share between glib and
gio.

This new glib__private__() API exports a hidden vtable, and adds a macro
GLIB_PRIVATE_CALL() that makes it generally convenient to use.

This adds an extremely tiny cost for the double indirection; but it has
the benefit that we don't need to either:

1) compile the code into both glib and gio (like GWakeup), with the
   inefficiency that implies.
2) Export a "do not use this" symbol; the serious problem with this is
   that someone CAN use it pretty easily.  Particularly if we document
   it.  It's far, far harder to peek into a structure without a public
   header file.
