All locks are now zero-initialised, so we can drop the G_*_INIT macros
for them.
Adjust various users around GLib accordingly and change the docs.

We have a GDateTime test that compares the time now (as per the libc) to
the time now (as per GDateTime). The problem is that the time could
change between those two "now"s.
At Tracker we want to mmap files using O_NOATIME. With GMappedFile this is at
the moment impossible. For that reason I added the constructor new_from_fd to
the GMappedFile type.

Previously, we were returning an empty buffer for all filenames
where fstat() gives a size of 0. But this is only appropriate
for regular files.
Also improve the documentation around this issue. Based on a
patch by Ryan Lortie.

Improve a few situations where g_date_time_format() was getting the
padding wrong when displaying alt digits (eg: Arabic numerals) for
formatting time.
We now depend on nl_langinfo (_NL_CTYPE_OUTDIGITn_WC) to do the
conversion, which is very likely glibc-specific, but our previous method
relied on a glibc-specific printf() feature, so no harm done there.
Add a configure check for nl_langinfo (_NL_CTYPE_OUTDIGITn_WC).
Uncomment a few testcases that were failing previously.

Test g_date_time_format() against strftime(). This test found quite a
few cases of incorrect behaviour on our part (fixes already committed
for those).
Our implementation of %W is incorrect. Nobody should want to use this
format anyway and the implementation is non-trivial, so rip it out
rather than fixing it.
Remove the testcase for %W as well.
Change the unix signal watch API to match other sources in both
available functions, names of those functions and order of the
parameters to the _full function.

Several different codebases in GNOME want to implement wall clocks.
While we could pretty easily share a private library, it's not a
substantial amount of code, and GLib already has a lot of the
necessary system-specific detection and handling infrastructure.
Note this initial implementation just wakes up once a second in the
cancel_on_set case; we'll add the Linux-specific handling in a
subsequent commit.

The main rationale for adding it was to avoid having gnome-shell
mmap'ing /etc/localtime once a second. However, we can just as easily
run inotify there, and given no one else was clamoring for a way to
detect when the time zone changes, I don't see a need for public API
here - at least not yet.
In the bigger picture, I just don't believe that the vast majority of
applications are going to go out of their way to instantiate and keep
around a random GTimeZoneMonitor class. And if they do, it's has the
side effect that for other bits of code in the process, local GDateTime
instances may start varying again!
So, if code can't rely on local GDateTime instances being in a
consistent state anyways, let's just do that always. The
documentation now says that this is the case. Applications have
always been able to work in a consistent local time zone by
instantiating a zone and then using it for GDateTime constructors.
We fix the "gnome-shell stats /etc/localtime once a second" issue by
using timerfd (in glib) and inotify (in gnome-shell).

This implements g_hmac_xxx() functionality using the standard checksum
functions supported by glib.
HMAC is a secure way to hash a key and a password. Many other
approaches fraught with append and prepend issues.
