If we have an input parameter (or return value) we need to use (nullable).
However, if it is an (inout) or (out) parameter, (optional) is sufficient.
It looks like (nullable) could be used for everything according to the
Annotation documentation, but (optional) is more specific.
If a GSimpleAsyncResult has a NULL source tag, allow it to compare
valid to a non-NULL source tag in g_simple_async_result_is_valid(), to
simplify cases where, eg, g_simple_async_result_new() and
g_simple_async_result_report_error_in_idle() are both used.

Since we are no longer using sgml mode, using /* */ to
escape block comments inside examples does not work anymore.
Switch to using line comments with //
In Windows development environments that have it, <unistd.h> is mostly
just a wrapper around several other native headers (in particular,
<io.h>, which contains read(), close(), etc, and <process.h>, which
contains getpid()). But given that some Windows dev environments don't
have <unistd.h>, everything that uses those functions on Windows
already needed to include the correct Windows header as well, and so
there is never any point to including <unistd.h> on Windows.
Also, remove some <unistd.h> includes (and a few others) that were
unnecessary even on unix.

Reimplement gioscheduler in terms of GTask, and deprecate the original
gioscheduler methods. Update docs to point people to GTask rather than
gioscheduler and GSimpleAsyncResult, but don't actually formally
deprecate GSimpleAsyncResult yet.

Rather than doing a two step first-check-the-GAsyncResult-subtype-then-
check-the-tag, add a GAsyncResult-level method so that you can do them
both at once, simplifying the code for "short-circuit" async return
values where the vmethod never gets called.

Add a function g_simple_async_result_set_check_cancellable() to provide
a GCancellable that is checked for being cancelled during the call to
g_simple_async_result_propagate_error().
This gives asynchronous operation implementations an easy way to
provide reliable cancellation of those operations -- even in the case
that a positive result has occured and is pending dispatch at the time
the operation is cancelled.

Add g_main_context_ref_thread_default(), which always returns a
reffed GMainContext, rather than sometimes returning a (non-reffed)
GMainContext, and sometimes returning NULL. This simplifies the
bookkeeping in any code that needs to keep a reference to the
thread-default context for a while.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=660994
When an old pre-thread-default-context API that takes an explicit
GMainContext wants to call a gio API, it must call
g_main_context_push_thread_default() before, and
g_main_context_pop_thread_default() after the gio call, so that the
gio method will return its result to the desired GMainContext.
But this fails for methods like g_socket_client_connect_async() that
make a chain of multiple async calls, since the pushed/popped context
will only affect the initial call.
Fix this by having GSimpleAsyncResult itself push/pop the context
around the callback invocation, so that if the callback queues another
async request, it will stay in the same context as the original one.

Add g_simple_async_result_new_take_error and
g_simple_async_result_take_error, which take over ownership of the
given error. Based on a patch by Christian Persch.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=629247
Because g_simple_async_report_[g]error_in_idle() don't take a source tag
parameter, code that uses them can't currently use
g_simple_async_result_is_valid() (at least, not for the error case).
Bug 602417
The source can be destroyed by the time we complete the result, and
then the g_source_get_context(current_source) call will cause
a critical error. We check for the source being destroyed and avoid
the check in that case.
This means we miss the right-thread check in this case, but thats
merely a helper, so this is not critical.
This warning hits code that uses GSimpleAsyncResult outside of a
mainloop as a helper object. For instance EggDBus does this.
Since the bugs this warning would fix are pretty easy to spot
and since EggDBus is deployed already we just remove the
"called from outside main loop" warning.
However, we need to keep the "called from wrong context" warning
as that is very helpful when debugging misuse of the new multiple
main context code.
GFile allows for the possibility that external implementations may not
support thread-default contexts yet, via
g_file_supports_thread_contexts(). GVolumeMonitor is not yet
thread-default-context aware.
Add a test program to verify that basic gio async ops work correctly
in non-default contexts.

Bug 571598 – GAsyncResult with NULL gobject
* gsimpleasyncresult.c: remove various assertions and add some checks
to allow for a NULL source_object in GSimpleAsyncResult.

Bug 562452 - Ensure we return G_IO_ERROR_CANCELLED if cancelling
g_simple_async_result_run_in_thread
* gsimpleasyncresult.c:
Make g_simple_async_result_run_in_thread check cancellation before
calling out to the user in the callback. This means we guarantee
reporting cancels of async operations from the main threads, which
is probably more in line with what users expect.
Note that there are still no such guarantees for cancelling sync
operations or cancelling async operation from outside the main
thread. Furthermore, the exact behaviour of async implementations
not using run_in_thread may differ.
