So now introspection users will have to call `GLibUnix.open_pipe()`
rather than `GLibUnix.unix_open_pipe()` — or
`GLibWin32.check_windows_version()` rather than
`GLibWin32.win32_check_windows_version()`.

This creates `GioUnix`, `GioWin32`, `GLibUnix` and `GLibWin32`. These
bodies of documentation are in addition to the main, platform agnostic,
documentation for both libraries.
This commit necessarily includes various mechanical changes to update
the repository namespace used in various existing documentation links to
platform specific APIs.

Seems no point in keeping them separate. It doesn’t seem to matter if
they contain entries which are unused for a particular docs build.

This might help increase visibility of Philip's useful GMainContext
tutorial. Although the GMainContext documentation is fairly good, it's
also pretty intimidating. The tutorial is very useful and provides
guidance that we can't fit directly into the documentation, so reference
it.
Now that the reference documentation uses gi-docgen, it's more
troublesome to generate in less standard build scenarios like
cross-compiling.
In distributions like Debian, reference documentation is generally
packaged separately (in libglib2.0-doc in Debian's case), but man pages
are generally packaged alongside the executables themselves (in the
libglib2.0-bin and libglib2.0-dev-bin packages, in Debian's case). We
can exclude the reference documentation when cross-compiling, but ideally
we would like the man pages to still be built, so that a cross-compiled
libglib2.0-bin or libglib2.0-dev-bin package has the same content as a
native build.

They are now installed to (e.g.)
`${prefix}/share/doc/glib-2.0/{glib,gmodule,gobject,gio}/index.html`.
We might want to drop one level of nesting out of that, but for the
moment I thought I’d keep it in so we can disambiguate by installed
major version.

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.

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.

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.

The GIR files are now built by GLib itself, so they will be in the build
directories of each sub-library, except for GLib-2.0 which is built
alongside GObject-2.0.
Gate the API reference on the availability of the introspection data as
well, so we don't accidentally try and generate the documentation
without a description of our API.
g_strv_builder_take() allows to transfer ownership of the passed in
string.
This can be useful to avoid additional allocations when using functions
that transfer ownership to the caller like g_strdup_printf().
The testcase uses g_strv_builder_take and g_strv_builder_add to demo
that calls can be mixed.
