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. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=657992
