- add G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING, _BYTESTRING_ARRAY, _STRING_ARRAY
- remove g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array functions
- add g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring{,_array} functions
- remove undocumented support for deserialising arrays of objectpaths
or signature strngs using g_variant_get_strv()
- add and document new format strings '^ay', '^&ay', '^aay' and '^a&ay'
- update GApplication to use the new API
- update GSettings binding code to use the new API
- add tests
Like how we're handling activation, use GVariant for timestamps. To
avoid polluting the GtkApplication API with GVariants, we rename the
GApplication signals to "quit-with-data" and "action-with-data".
GtkApplication will then wrap those as just "quit" and "action".

This adds a GApplication object to GIO, which is the core of
an application support class, supporting
- uniqueness
- exporting actions (simple scripting)
- standard actions (quit, activate)
The implementation for Linux uses D-Bus, takes a name on the
session bus, and exports a org.gtk.Application interface.
Implementations for Win32 and OS X are still missing.
