Allow registering instance private data during get_type()

For static types, it should be possible to register a private data
structure right when we are registering the type, i.e. from the
get_type() implementation. By allowing this, we can take advantage of
the existing type definition macros to cut down the amount of code
necessary (as well as the knowledge baggage) when creating a new type.

The main issue with this new feature is that it cannot be mixed with the
old idiomatic way of adding private instance data by calling a function
in the middle of the class_init() implementation, as that imposes the
additional constraint of initializing the whole type hierarchy in order
to retrieve the offset of the private data in the GTypeInstance
allocation.

For this reason we are going to follow a two-step process; in the first
step, we are going to introduce the new (semi-private) API to register
the intent to add private instance data from within the get_type()
implementation, and hide it behind a macro; at the same time, the
G_DEFINE_TYPE_EXTENDED macro is going to be modified so that it will
register the private instance data if the macro was used, using a new
(semi-private) function as well. Once we have migrated all our code, we
will make the first new function perform the actual private data
registration, and turn the second new function into a no-op. This should
guarantee a transparent migration of existing code to the new idiomatic
form.

/**

*
* A convenience macro to ease adding private data to instances of a new type
* in the @_C_ section of G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_CODE() or
* G_DEFINE_ABSTRACT_TYPE_WITH_CODE().
*
* For instance:
*
* |[

* typedef struct {

* G_ADD_PRIVATE (MyObject))
* ]|
*
* Will add MyObjectPrivate as the private data to any instance of the MyObject
* type.
*
* G_DEFINE_TYPE_* macros will automatically create a private function
* based on the arguments to this macro, which can be used to safely
* retrieve the private data from an instance of the type; for instance:
*
* |[
* gint
* my_object_get_foo (MyObject *obj)
* {
* MyObjectPrivate *priv = my_object_get_private (obj);
*
* return priv->foo;
* }
*
* void
* my_object_set_bar (MyObject *obj,
* gint bar)
* {
* MyObjectPrivate *priv = my_object_get_private (obj);
*
* if (priv->bar != bar)
* priv->bar = bar;
* }
* ]|
*
* Note that this macro can only be used together with the G_DEFINE_TYPE_*
* macros, since it depends on variable names from those macros.
