Meson 1.5.1 is available in the fd.o SDK and in Debian testing, so the
glib Meson policy says we can update. Update the minimum only as far as
1.4.0 because we don't yet have a need for 1.5.0.
This allows us to:
- Use file.full_path() to avoid deprecation warnings on str.format(file).
- Set c_std=gnu99,c99 to avoid deprecation warnings with gnu99 on MSVC.
Update all the CI builds to use the latest 1.4.x patch release, 1.4.2.
The FreeBSD runner cannot be updated via `gitlab-ci.yml`, so will be
broken for now.
Similarly, the macOS build will not work unless `-Dc_std=gnu99` is
specified at configure time, due to
https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/13639.
In most CI builds. (Not all of them, though, so we can also test the
build works with it disabled.)
This is needed for the upcoming libgirepository tests, as they need some
GIR files to test against.

The `%E` modifier causes dates to be formatted using an alternative era
representation for years. This doesn’t do anything for most dates, but
in locales such as Thai and Japanese it causes years to be printed using
era names.
In Thai, this means the Thai solar calendar
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thai_solar_calendar). In Japanese, this
means Japanese era names
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_era_name).
The `%E` modifier syntax follows what’s supported in glibc — see
nl_langinfo(3).
Supporting this is quite involved, as it means loading the `ERA`
description from libc and parsing it.
Unit tests are included.

And update all the CI builds to use the latest micro release from that
series, 1.2.3.
This version bump means we can:
- Drop some backwards-compatibility Meson checks
- Fix a periodic CI failure caused by a now-fixed Meson bug
(https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/pull/10633)
It’s in line with our [Meson version policy](./docs/meson-version.md),
as Meson 1.2.1 is available in
[Debian Trixie](https://packages.debian.org/source/trixie/meson) and the
[freedesktop SDK](c95902f2ed/elements/components/meson.bst).

The files here are copied from the docs-gtk-org
branch of gtk.
This adds gi-docgen to the CI Dockerfiles and ensures the new versions
(including the OS upgrades from the previous commit) are used during CI.

That means Debian Bookworm and Fedora 37.
Also rework the mingw Dockerfile to be based on the Fedora one, so that
the underlying layers can be shared. This should reduce the disk
consumption of the registry a little.
`.gitlab-ci.yml` has not been updated to use the new images in this
commit, as the images will be modified further in the following commit.

This reverts commit 91f14cd058.
The freedesktop SDK, which is used by gnome-build-meta, only has Meson
0.63. Bumping GLib’s Meson dependency to 0.64 means that, at the moment,
GLib is not buildable in gnome-build-meta and hence can’t be tested in
nightly pipelines against other projects, etc.
That’s bad for testing GLib.
It’s arguably bad that we’re restricted to using an older version of
Meson than shipped by Debian Testing, but that’s a separate discussion
to be had.
Revert the Meson 0.64 dependency until the freedesktop SDK ships Meson ≥
0.64. This also means reverting the simplifications to use of
`gnome.mkenum_simple()`.
See https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/merge_requests/3077#note_1601064
This doesn’t enforce licensing/copyright headers to be present on all
files, but does check that at least a minimum number of files are
correct.
This should help avoid new files being added without appropriate
licensing information in future.
The baseline is set at what `reuse lint` outputs for me at the moment.
See https://reuse.software/tutorial/#step-2 for information about how to
add REUSE-compliant licensing/copyright to files.

This is in preparation for porting `GRegex` to libpcre2, which is
happening in !2529. It’s a big port, though, and specially rebuilding
the CI images to add libpcre2 for it is a pain.
Add libpcre2, and then !2529 can drop the old libpcre dependencies when
the port lands.

This will be useful in general, for manually debugging failures if we
need (without having to rebuild the CI images to do so).
It will also be useful for the `assert-msg-test` test, which is being
reworked in !2767.

libgamin was last released in 2007 and is dead
[upstream](https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/gamin). Distributions may
still ship it (although Fedora no longer does), but we want people to
use inotify on Linux since it’s actively supported.
BSDs use kqueue. Windows uses win32filemonitor.
FAM might still be used on some commercial Unix distributions, but there
are no contributors from those distributions, and certainly no CI for
them to prevent regressions.

This is what’s available in the new Debian Stable, so we can expect it
to be available pretty much everywhere.
Subsequent commits will clean up old workarounds.

The package naming is confusing. It turns out we’ve been installing the
wrong libpcre version for ages, but haven’t noticed because the correct
version has previously been installed on the system by default.
It seems that Debian Bullseye doesn’t have the old libpcre installed by
default, so now we have to fix this package name and make sure it’s
installed in the CI images. Building it as a subproject is a pain.
