3dbef3223b build: Fix the inclusion paths for GIR files in gi-docgen
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.

d0e03f0930 GType: introduce GTYPE_TO_POINTER/GPOINTER_TO_TYPE
On CHERI-enabled systems we use uintptr_t as the underlying storage for
GType and therefore casting to gsize strips the upper bits from a pointer.
Fix this by casting via uintptr_t instead and introduce a new set of
macros to convert between GType and pointers.

6107f50cc7 build: Disable gtk-doc unit tests
As we start moving documentation over from gtk-doc to gi-docgen, the
gtk-doc coverage is going to go down and things are going to start
breaking. That’s OK; we don’t need to test it any more.

23a9dbdaf6 Allow proper introspection of GTypeValueTable
The introspection scanner cannot deal very well with function pointers
into a plain structure. In order to document the various function
pointers in GTypeValueTable we need to create typed callbacks, and
use them to replace the anonymous function pointers inside the
structure. This not only allows us to properly document the function
pointers, but it also allows us to annotate the arguments and return
value of those function pointers.

783f1b8640 gtype: Improve documentation for G_TYPE_IS_CLASSED and interfaces
The documentation previously implicitly said in a few places that
interfaces are classed, but reading through the implementation of
`GType`, I don’t think they are. If they were, the registration of the
fundamental `G_TYPE_INTERFACE` in `gobject_init()` would specify
`G_TYPE_FLAG_CLASSED`. It only specifies `G_TYPE_FLAG_DERIVABLE`.

I think this makes sense, because you can’t subclass an interface.
Subclassing is a key property of being classed.

Tweak the `GType` tutorial to remove that implicit statement, and expand
the documentation for `G_TYPE_IS_CLASSED`.

fd0dd9e93c gobject: Add G_TYPE_FLAG_DEPRECATED
This can be used to mark entire types as deprecated,
and trigger a warning when they are instantiated
and `G_ENABLE_DIAGNOSTIC=1` is set in the environment.

There's currently no convenient macros for defining
types with the new flag, but you can do:

```c
_G_DEFINE_TYPE_EXTENDED_BEGIN (GtkAppChooserWidget,
                               gtk_app_chooser_widget,
                               GTK_TYPE_WIDGET,
                               G_TYPE_FLAG_DEPRECATED)
...
_G_DEFINE_TYPE_EXTENDED_END ()
```

Includes a unit test by Philip Withnall.

dcfc9f689e Fix symbol visibility macros on Windows
There is currently no `dllimport` attribute on any of our function,
which prevents MSVC to optimize function calls.

To fix that issue, we need to redeclare all our visibility macros for
each of our libraries, because when compiling e.g. GIO code, we need
dllimport in GLIB headers and dllexport in GIO headers. That means they
cannot use the same GLIB_AVAILABLE_* macro.

Since that's a lot of boilerplate to copy/paste after each version bump,
this MR generate all those macros using a python script.

Also simplify the meson side by using `gnu_symbol_visibility : 'hidden'`
keyword argument instead of passing the cflag manually.

This leaves only API index to add manually into glib-docs.xml when
bumping GLib version. That file cannot be generated because Meson does
not allow passing a buit file to gnome.gtkdoc()'s main_xml kwarg
unfortunately.

dd43471f60 gobject: add GSignalGroup
Much like GBindingGroup, the GSignalGroup object allows you to connect many
signal connections for an object and connect/disconnect/block/unblock them
as a group.

This is useful when using many connections on an object to ensure that they
are properly removed when changing state or disposing a third-party
object.

This has been used for years in various GNOME projects and makes sense to
have upstream instead of multiple copies.

0d9de09192 gobject: add GBindingGroup
Originally, GBindingGroup started with Builder as a way to simplify all
of the third-degree object bindings necessary around Model-Controller
objects such as TextBuffer/TextView.

Over time, it has grown to be useful in a number of scenarios outside
of Builder and has been copied into a number of projects such as GNOME
Text Editor, GtkSourceView, libdazzle, and more.

It makes sense at this point to unify on a single implementation and
include that upstream in GObject directly alongside GBinding.
