Remove the hardwired 1 second event queue logic from inotify-kernel and
replace it with something vastly less complicated.
Events are now reported as soon as is possible instead of after a delay.
We still must delay IN_MOVED_FROM events in order to look for the
matching IN_MOVED_TO events, and since we want to report events in order
this means that events behind those events can also be delayed. We
limit ourselves, however:
- no more than 100 events can be delayed at a time
- no event can be delayed by more than 10ms

Expose GContextSpecificSource so that things in GIO can use it directly.
Add support for a user_data area in the struct which will be helpful for
some intended use cases.
Also expose a way to emit a signal directly on a single source without
having to go through the group.
Add support for non-VOID__VOID signals to GContextSpecificGroup.
We keep the VOID__VOID case as a special optimised case by usual the
usual bit-stealing tricks.
GUnixMountMonitor was not threadsafe before. It was a global singleton
which emitted signals in the first thread that happened to construct it.
Move it to a per-context singleton model where each GMainContext gets
its own GUnixMountMonitor. Monitor for the changes from the GLib worker
thread and dispatch the results to each context with an active monitor.

Deprecate g_unix_mount_monitor_set_rate_limit() and turn it into a
no-op.
This function doesn't behave as advertised. It only controls rate
limiting for filesystem-based monitors. It has no impact over reporting
mount changes on Linux, for example, because those are based on polling
for changes in /proc (which doesn't use filesystem monitors). It also
has no impact on Mac OS because a library interface is used there.
This was added in https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=521946 in
order to be used by HAL, which is effectively dead. udisks no longer
uses this code at all.

This is a singleton, but we have a function called _new() to get it.
What's worse is that the documentation makes no mention of this, and
actually specifically says that a new monitor will be created each time.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=742599
Add a new internal helper called GContextSpecificGroup.
This is a mechanism for helping to maintain a group of context-specific
monitor objects (eg: GAppInfoMonitor, GUnixMountMonitor).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=742599
This new function is intended to be used for verifying that operations
on objects that belong to a given main context are only made from valid
places.
The usual rule is that the operations must be performed while the main
context is acquired, but an exception is made for the global default
main context so that things can be set up before running the main loop.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=742599
Add an internal function to get the name of a thread for display in
debugging messages. We support reporting "the main thread" for the
thread that our ctor got run in (which is almost definitely what most
people would consider to be 'the main thread').
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=742599
Include an example main() function, and include a link to the gettext
manual’s section on integrating gettext with build systems.
That should work as a complete reference for how to add i18n support to
an application.

We were asking for properties on NM's dbus interface, but if NM is not
running then there won't be any. Check if the name has an owner before
doing anything to it.

AC_C_BIGENDIAN can return 'universal' as the result in the case that we
are trying to do a universal build on Mac OS. This has to be opted into
explicitly by using multiple -arch CFLAGS.
Previously, we detected this result and fell back to doing our own check
based on the endianness of the build machine, hardcoding that. This
means that universal builds might successfully build, but the binaries
would never actually run correctly on the 'opposite' arch.
This check was added because of a bug in the intial implementation of
this detection in autoconf, which was inappropriately identifying
non-macos compilers as 'universal'. That was hitting ppc64 systems.
See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=449944 for more info.
Commit b0e687ef42e21b1eb7af18c4eaebcd41b0bd5632 in autoconf ("Limit
AC_C_BIGENDIAN univeral checks to Mac OS X") solved this issue in 2008,
so let's remove our workaround. For good measure, if we detect
"universal" in the result, error out.

Update config.h.win32.in and glibconfig.h.win32.in so that they will be
in-line with the ones that are produced with configure.ac, for use on
Windows builds.
Thanks to Philip Withnall for pointing out the changes needed to update
glibconfig.h.win32.in in bug 727829.
Using G_STRLOC ends up embedding unique strings of the form
__FILE__:__LINE__ in the compiled binary. We can avoid these
by passing __FILE__ and __LINE__ separately when constructing
the warning text.
This probably reduces the size of the binary as __FILE__ is
likely already contained as string otherwise.
Note that for GCC 2.x this changes behavior because G_STRLOC
also contained __PRETTY_FUNCTION__.

Along the same lines as g_clear_object(), g_set_object() is a
convenience function to update a GObject pointer, handling reference
counting transparently and correctly.
Specifically, it handles the case where a pointer is set to its current
value. If handled naïvely, that could result in the object instance
being finalised. In the following code, that happens when
(my_obj == new_value) and the object has a single reference:
g_clear_object (&my_obj);
my_obj = g_object_ref (new_value);
It also simplifies boilerplate code such as set_property()
implementations, which are otherwise long and boring.
Test cases included.

In g_file_make_directory_with_parents(), the my_error variable is used
for several different purposes throughout the whole function, not all of
which are obvious. This explains the situation with some comments.

We should not advise people to cast the result of
g_hash_table_get_keys_as_array() to a type that looks suitable for use
with g_strfreev(). Advise to use (const gchar **) instead.
Allows sending of multiple messages (packets, datagrams)
in one go using sendmmsg(), thus drastically reducing the
number of syscalls when sending out a lot of data, or when
sending out the same data to multiple recipients.
