8f9c5090db docs: Use G_PARAM_STATIC_STRINGS in examples and explain it more
Make it a bit clearer in the documentation that using
`G_PARAM_STATIC_STRINGS` everywhere is a good thing.

4f2b1e250d gobject: Standardise on the term ‘instantiatable’
Rather than using a mixture of ‘instantiable’ and ‘instantiatable’
everywhere, standardise on the term which is already in the public API.

f5dba7d43c docs: Correct inconsistency in GObject tutorial
The example code defines an interface with three methods. The preceding text
reads 'This interface defines two methods'. This appears to be because the
example code was changed without updating the surrounding text.

f952fdf3fc Drop trailing semi-colon from G_DEFINE_ macro
It's unnecessary, and only adds visual noise; we have been fairly
inconsistent in the past, but the semi-colon-less version clearly
dominates in the code base.

bf33f1d98d docs: Replace Maman in the tutorial with a more meaningful example
Change it to a running example of a file viewer application with a file
class and various derived classes and related interfaces. Hopefully the
reader can relate to this a little better than to their maman.

54cc43630d Rename the generated private data getter function
As it turns out, we have examples of internal functions called
type_name_get_private() in the wild (especially among older libraries),
so we need to use a name for the per-instance private data getter
function that hopefully won't conflict with anything.

3b0f1cc432 Fix up GObject interface documentation
* Document how to override interfaces already implemented
   in a base class, and also call those base class implementations
   from a derived reimplementation.
 * Don't recomend people use base_init() style functions to
   initialize interface signals and properties, use default_init()
   aka class_init() instead (as G_DEFINE_INTERFACE() uses).
 * The above solves the interface init called multiple times
   problem, so remove some needless naysaying about that.
 * Document default_init() in the interface initialization discussion
 * Linkify more stuff.
 * Remove some crud and typos

f24d8247b3 Do not use static GTypeInfo and GInterfaceInfo
Either g_type_register_static_simple (used by G_DEFINE_TYPE_EXTENDED)
and G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE use automatic variables for GTypeInfo and
GInterfaceInfo structs, while tutorials and source code often use
static variables. This commit consistently adopts the former method.
