So they are consistent with the way we’re building man pages in other
projects, and because some people are allergic to XML.
This changes the build-time dependencies from `xsltproc` to `rst2man`,
and also takes the opportunity to change the `-Dman` Meson option from a
boolean to a feature (so you should use `-Dman-pages={enabled,disabled}`
now, rather than `-Dman={true,false}`).

Because the documentation is no longer built using gtk-doc.
Keep the old option around, but deprecated.

Point people to the official PCRE documentation instead, which is going
to be more up to date. This saves us periodically having to copy in and
reformat the PCRE documentation.

We haven’t made any backwards-incompatible changes since GLib 2.2 in
2002. It’s probably not very useful to tell people about those any more.

They were previously `xi:include`d into some of the GDBus documentation,
but since the GDBus documentation was ported to Markdown that’s no
longer possible, so the object manager example docs now serve no
purpose.

Move them to a separate page as they don’t really have a ‘class’ struct
each to hang docs off.

Move it to a separate page, with a massive great list of all the misc
utils. Not a great documentation page, but equivalent to what we had
before, and it can be improved in future.

Move it to a separate documentation file, since most of what’s covered
isn’t introspectable.

This is a variant of `g_test_trap_subprocess()` which allows the
environment for the child process to be specified. This is quite useful
when you want to test code which reads environment variables, as it’s
not safe to set those after the start of `main()`.
This will be useful within and outwith GLib for testing such code.

Move it to a separate page, as there isn’t a `GIOScheduler` struct.
Ensure that all its functions/methods/types are correctly marked as
deprecated. Fix a few broken links about I/O priority which pointed to
it.
