Add a macro to declare that a particular symbol is available in all
versions of GLib.
All newly-added symbols should have proper version macros (like
GLIB_AVAILABLE_IN_2_36) and this macro is less likely to get used 'by
accident' for those than one with a name like GLIB_EXTERN or
GLIB_PUBLIC.

This allows compilation with clang without errors, even when
-Wformat-nonliteral is active (as long as there are no real cases of
non literal formatting).

Rather than overloading --verbose, just skip the tests that aren't
supposed to be run in the parent process (so that if you do run the
toplevel test with --verbose, it doesn't immediately error out).

If you had two tests "/foo/bar" and "/foo/bar/baz", and ran the test
program with "-p /foo/bar/baz", it would run "/foo/bar" too. Fix that.
And add a test to tests/testing for it.

g_test_trap_fork() doesn't work on Windows and is potentially flaky on
unix anyway given the fork-but-don't-exec. Replace it with
g_test_trap_subprocess(), which re-spawns the same program with
arguments telling it to run a specific (otherwise-ignored) test case.
Make the existing g_test_trap_fork() unit tests be unix-only (they
never passed on Windows anyway), and add a parallel set of
g_test_trap_subprocess() tests.

Some compilers assume a literal value is a certain byte-length without
checking the type to which it is being assigned, giving a compile-time
warning: a default of 'long' is a mismatch when assigning to a guint64
when the latter is a 'long long'. Use one of glib's standard macros to
specify the type of the constant to match the variable type.

The approach of sucking a zoneinfo file into a GBytes and working with
pointers into it might be fast, but it's obtuse and not compatible with
Microsoft Windows.
In 2.34, g_compute_checksum_for_bytes() was added, but this patch
allows binding users to use the incremental update API; this is
significantly more efficient than reading entire files into memory.

If the $HOME environment variable is set, prefer that to the entry in
/etc/passwd.
This brings us in line with almost every other utility and library on
UNIX-like systems while avoiding some of the more complicated
possibilities that have been suggested.
This incompatible change has been petitioned for quite some time by
many, and in particular from the Debian world, which carries a patch
that adds a new G_HOME environment variable with the same meaning as
this patch now assigns to HOME.
The primary motivation for the change was to increase the testability of
GLib-based programs from 'make check' types of frameworks: it is now
possible to set HOME to a temp directory to avoid the testsuite
modifying the user's real home directory.
The change also brings us increased compliance with the XDG Base
Directory Specification. The specification specifically states that the
default values should be computed based on the HOME environment
variable, whereas we were basing them on the value from /etc/passwd.
The change was agreed to by all in attendence at the November 29 Gtk+
developer meeting.

When running a test program (ie, if g_test_init() has been called),
don't pop up a dialog box when a fatal error occurs. Just print the
message to stderr and exit.

Just like g_timeout_add() and friends, we want to hide the unintrospectable
g_unix_signal_add() from GI bindings and present g_unix_signal_add_full() as
GLib.unix_signal_add() to them.
