Previously, `-Wl,--export-dynamic` was in `Libs` key of `gmodule-2.0.pc`,
even though `-Wl` is a compiler flag, rather than a linker one.
This caused issues with API reference builds in evolution-data-server,
which passes the output of `pkg-config --libs` through `--ldflags`
argument of `gtkdoc-scan`, which are forwarded unchanged to `ld`:
ld: unrecognized option '-Wl,--export-dynamic'
Let’s move the flag to `Cflags` so that the compiler can deal with it.

LLVM objcopy's --strip-all is more aggressive that GNU objcopy --strip-all
and will remove everything that is not actually used. In this case we
see the following error:
`error: 'gio/tests/test_resources.o': Symbol table has link index of 5 which is not a valid index`
Fix this by only removing debug symbols instead of all unused symbols and
sections.

Unlike GNU ld which has a default target architecture, ld.lld is always a
cross-linker and has the same behaviour for all targets. If you don't tell
ld.lld what the target architecture is it can't infer the right ELF flags
for the resulting object file.
```
$ ~/cheri/output/sdk/bin/ld -r -b binary gio/tests/test5.gresource -o gio/tests/test_resources.o -v
LLD 14.0.0 (compatible with GNU linkers)
ld: error: target emulation unknown: -m or at least one .o file required
```
As you can see from the error message it can't infer the target
architecture (you need a least one valid .o file or the -m flag).
If you use the compiler instead of directly invoking the linker it will
pass the appropriate flags:
```
$ ~/cheri/output/sdk/bin/clang -r -Wl,-b,binary gio/tests/test5.gresource -o gio/tests/test_resources.o -v

This works for most architectures, but ones that need additional metadata
sections to encode the used ABI, etc. will require a different approach
using .incbin. However, that is a change for another MR.

In all these cases we don't really care about running the test file,
while building and basic execution it is relevant.
Also they don't support TAP at all.
Meson supports tap protocol results parsing, allowing us to track better
the tests that are running (and the ones that are actually skipped) without
manually parsing the test output.
However this also implies that using the verbose mode for a test doesn't
show its output by default (unless there are failures).
This test is fairly pointless, but puts the infrastructure in place for
adding more tests for `GFdoNotificationBackend` in upcoming commits.

Do not search in path for snapctl to avoid it to be potentially
overridden by changing the PATH env variable.
Still allow testing by using an ifdef to check if we're building for the
test files or not.
Test all the snap cases and the unknown sandbox one.
We need to use different test processes as we initialize the portal
type early enough that it can't be changed later.
This reverts commit 19353017a7.
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
Because Meson complains about using `configure_file(copy: true)`.

Do not use can_run_host_binaries() as it returns true even though
custom_target() does not currently correctly wrap target-built
tool binaries with exe_wrapper so they can be run on the host.
See https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/11029
We need to make sure that such binaries are built and available at test time
or we may fail some tests requiring them (directly or through desktop file).
As per this, and because now generated desktop files are available both
at build and install time, don't skip some tests we were used to, but
actually enforce they are running.
We have some test programs on which some tests depend on, for example
appinfo-test is a tool that is used by the desktop-app-info tests.
So test can now have an 'extra_programs' key where the extra program
names can be included.
This could have been handled manually via 'depends', but this allows
to avoid repeating code and be sure that all is defined when extra
programs targets are checked.
We were generating .desktop files with different content when installed
tests were enabled, and thus making impossible to test some cases
because there was no built file until installed.
To avoid this, always generate both versions of desktop files while
install only the one containing the install path prefix if needed.
Given that it can be computed using an error-prone strings comparisons it
is better to provide a variable everywhere, so that we don't have the
risk of comparing values that are always false.
We have tests that are failing in some environments, but it's
difficult to handle them because:
- for some environments we just allow all the tests to fail: DANGEROUS
- when we don't allow failures we have flacky tests: A CI pain
So, to avoid this and ensure that:
- New failing tests are tracked in all platforms
- gitlab integration on tests reports is working
- coverage is reported also for failing tests
Add support for `can_fail` keyword on tests that would mark the test as
part of the `failing` test suite.
Not adding the suite directly when defining the tests as this is
definitely simpler and allows to define conditions more clearly (see next
commits).
Now, add a default test setup that does not run the failing and flaky tests
by default (not to bother distributors with testing well-known issues) and
eventually run all the tests in CI:
- Non-flaky tests cannot fail in all platforms
- Failing and Flaky tests can fail
In both cases we save the test reports so that gitlab integration is
preserved.
G_MODULE_SUFFIX is deprecated now because you will get the wrong
results using it most of the time:
1. The suffix on macOS is usually 'dylib', but it's 'so' when using
Autotools, so there's no way to get the suffix correct using
a pre-processor macro.
2. Prefixes also vary in a platform-specific way. You may or may not have
a 'lib' prefix for the name on Windows and on Cygwin the prefix is
'cyg'.
3. The library name itself can vary per platform. For instance, you may
want to load foo-1.dll on Windows and libfoo.1.dylib on macOS. This
is for libraries, not modules, but that is still a use-case that
people use the GModule API for.
g_module_build_path() does take care of (2) on Cygwin, but it
fundamentally cannot handle the possibility of multiple options for
the module name, since it does not do any I/O. Hence, it is also
deprecated.
Instead, g_module_open() has been improved so that it takes care of
all this by searching the filesystem for combinations of possible
suffixes and prefixes on each platform. Along the way, the
documentation for it was also improved to make it clearer what it
does.

In principle we could script this so that each max-version.c is compiled
26 times, once per possible MAX_VERSION, but I haven't implemented
that here: just pinning to the oldest possible version is sufficient to
reproduce #2796.
These aren't included in the installed-tests, since they don't really
do anything at runtime (the important thing is that they compile
without warnings).
