These calls are where the `GSocketClient` Happy Eyeballs code relies on
other components within GLib (and glib-networking) to complete
asynchronous operations in a timely manner. `GSocketClient` doesn’t add
its own timeouts to monitor these async operations, so if the
implementations are buggy then a `GSocketClient` operation could stall
forever.

GDBus has always supported matching strings with arg0 matching
(`G_DBUS_SIGNAL_FLAGS_MATCH_ARG0_PATH`). In D-Bus 1.5, support was added
to the spec for also matching object paths. This got forgotten about and
was never added to GDBus, meaning that
`G_DBUS_SIGNAL_FLAGS_MATCH_ARG0_PATH` won’t match against a signal arg0
of type `o`.
Fix that, and add a unit test.
To do so, we need to add a new `g_dbus_message_get_arg0_path()` API to
complement the existing `g_dbus_message_get_arg0()` API. The approach of
letting `g_dbus_message_get_arg0()` return an object-path *or* a string
would not work, as it’s also called in the implementation of
`G_DBUS_SIGNAL_FLAGS_MATCH_ARG0_NAMESPACE`, which must only match
string-typed arg0 values and not object-path-typed ones.

Technically we can’t rely on it being kept alive by the `message->body`
pointer, unless we can guarantee that the `GVariant` is always
serialised. That’s not necessarily the case, so keep a separate ref on
the arg0 value at all times.
This avoids a potential use-after-free.

It was previously 4KiB, but this isn’t enough for sniffing the
content-type of some GPT disk images (they use 4KiB sectors, and the
magic bytes are in the second sector). A buffer of 8KiB would work,
but 16KiB seems harmless and more future proof.
Most of the time, the buffer size should be set by xdgmime anyway, based
on the largest sniff buffer its database needs. Currently (with
shared-mime-info master) that’s 18730 bytes, so even with a 16KiB buffer
we’re going to potentially mis-identify a few file types.
Tested manually by modifying the example GPT image from shared-mime-info
(https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xdg/shared-mime-info/-/blob/master/tests/mime-detection/disk.gpt)
to remove the magic at offset 0x200 and add it instead at offset 0x1000,
then running:
```
cp shared-mime-info.git/tests/mime-detection/disk.gpt ./disk-without-extension
gio info -a standard::content-type ./disk-without-extension
```
It should print `application/vnd.efi.img` rather than
`application/octet-stream`.

This fixes a stack overflow reported by a user who had both the

application/ecmascript, but in 2.4 application/ecmascript is a subtype
of text/javascript. Having both at the same time resulted in circular
inheritance.
The new logic keeps a list of all parents that have already been

Depending on the operating system, /bin/sh might either be bash (for
example on Fedora or Arch) or dash (for example on Debian or Ubuntu)
or some other POSIX shell.
When bash is asked to run a simple command with no shell keywords or
metacharacters, like this one, it replaces itself with the program
via execve(), but dash does not have that optimization and treats it
like any other program invocation in a larger script: it will fork,
exec the program in the child, and wait for the child in the parent.
This seems like it conflicts with sleep_and_kill() assuming that it can
use the subprocess's process ID as the sleep(1) process ID. Specifically,
if it sends SIGKILL, it will go to the sh(1) process and not the sleep(1)
child, which could result in the sh(1) process being terminated and
its sleep(1) child being leaked.
To get the bash-like behaviour portably, explicitly use the exec builtin
to instruct the shell to replace itself with sleep(1), so that the
process ID previously used for the shell becomes the process ID of the
sleep process.
This appears to resolve an intermittent hang and test timeout on Debian
machines (especially slower ones), although I'm not 100% clear on the
mechanics of how it happens.

Currently, the introspection data for GLib and its sub-libraries is
generated by gobject-introspection, to avoid the cyclic dependency
between the two projects.
Since gobject-introspection is generally available on installed systems,
we can check for its presence, and generate the introspection data
directly from GLib.
This does introduce a cyclic dependency, which is why it's possible to
build GLib without introspection, then build gobject-introspection, and
finally rebuild GLib.
By having introspection data available during the GLib build, we can do
things like generating documentation; validating newly added API; and
close the loop between adding new API and it becoming available to non-C
consumers of the C ABI (i.e. language bindings).
If `update-desktop-database` or `update-mime-database` are not
installed, there are a few `GAppInfo` methods for modifying file
associations which will print a `g_warning()` when called. Something
like:
```
GLib-GIO-FATAL-WARNING: Failed to execute child process ‘update-desktop-database’ (No such file or directory)
```
(Example: https://gitlab.gnome.org/zamaudio/glib/-/jobs/3190053)
This will cause the appinfo/associations test to fail, as warnings are
fatal.
If that’s going to happen, skip the test. We can’t hard-depend on these
tools as they are external to GLib and only needed for a few operations.
Instead we have a soft runtime dependency on them; that should be
reflected in the tests.

The C standard does not specify whether the underlying type of an enum
is signed or unsigned, and until C23 there was no way to control this
explicitly. GCC appears to make enums unsigned unless there is a
negative value among cases of the enum, in which case it becomes signed.
MSCV appears to make enums signed by default.
A bitfield of an enum type (which is not specificied in the C standard
either) behaves as if it was an instance of a numeric type with a
reduced value range. Specifically, a 'signed int val : 2;' bitfield will
have the possible values of -2, -1, 0, and 1, with the usual wraparound
behavior for the values that don't fit (although this too is
implementation-defined).
This causes the following issue, if we have:
typedef enum
{
G_ZERO,
G_ONE,
G_TWO
} GFoo;
struct _GBar
{
GFoo foo : 2;
};
and then assign bar.foo = G_TWO and read it back, it will have the
expected value of 2 (aka G_TWO) on GCC, but a value of -2 (not matching
any of the enum variants) on MSVC.
There does not seem to be any way to influence signedness of an enum
prior to C23, nor is there a 'unsigned GFoo foo : 2;' syntax. The only
remaining options seems to be never using enums in bitfields, which is
what this change implements.

The Comment field provides a user-visible description of the app,
which usually contains generic words ("and", "or", "not", "is", ...)
that add noise when used for search.
It made some sense to match against the field as a fallback for
Keywords, before that key was well established. However that key
has been around for years now, so hopefully every app where additional
terms are helpful uses it by now.
With that, the downside of added noise outweighs the benefit, so
it's time to stop matching on comments.
When setting the file time using utimensat, don't ignore
microseconds for access/modify times. By doing that, they're preserved
when using g_file_info_set_modification_date_time and then setting the file's

Commit 9e2ad88455 improved app search results by allowing to differentiate
their match_type: prefix match or substring match; while giving more priority
to prefix matches over substring matches, but only when they are in the same
match_category[1].
This was a step forward but, as outlined in #3082, still not enough to get
most relevant results first to the user, because apparently (and for the
specific case of desktop app searching) a prefix match in a lower category
is more relevant to the user than a substring match in a higher category.
So that's what this commit implements, i.e. it makes sure prefix matches
are still preferred over substring matches but this time not only when
in the same category but also across different categories.
[1] Match category is the Desktop file key where the match happened.
