d691c2ebd2 gsignal: Plug g_signal_connect_object leak
commit 916297be79 added a hash table
to provide constant time lookups of signal handlers.

Unfortunately, that commit neglected to remove handlers from
g_signal_connect_object calls from the hash table that are
disconnected implicitly when the associated object goes away.

This commit addresses that bug by changing the closure invalidate
handler associated with the signal connection to properly remove the
handler from the hash table.

00bfb3ab44 tree: Fix various typos and outdated terminology
This was mostly machine generated with the following command:
```
codespell \
    --builtin clear,rare,usage \
    --skip './po/*' --skip './.git/*' --skip './NEWS*' \
    --write-changes .
```
using the latest git version of `codespell` as per [these
instructions](https://github.com/codespell-project/codespell#user-content-updating).

Then I manually checked each change using `git add -p`, made a few
manual fixups and dropped a load of incorrect changes.

There are still some outdated or loaded terms used in GLib, mostly to do
with git branch terminology. They will need to be changed later as part
of a wider migration of git terminology.

If I’ve missed anything, please file an issue!

13d1697b67 gobject: Add g_{param_spec,signal}_is_valid_name() functions
Making this validation code public allows projects to validate a
GParamSpec name before creating it. While hard-coded GParamSpec don't
need this, we can't afford crashing the main program for dynamically
generated GParamSpec from user-created data.

In such case, we will need to validate the param names and return errors
instead of trying to create a GParamSpec with invalid names.

Includes modifications from Philip Withnall and Emmanuele Bassi to
rearrange the new function addition and split it into one function for
GParamSpecs and one for GSignals.

a07bc20557 gsignal: Drop unnecessary warnings from g_signal_lookup()
The `G_TYPE_IS_INSTANTIATABLE()` check is redundant with a precondition
on the function.

The `g_type_class_peek()` check seems like a pointless restriction: it
should be possible to check for a signal from a class init function.

89f955db2d gsignal: Canonicalise signal names at installation time
Rather than adding a canonicalised and non-canonicalised version of the
signal to `g_signal_key_bsa`, just add the canonicalised version. Signal
lookups always use the canonicalised key (since the previous commit).

This saves space in `g_signal_key_bsa`, which should speed up lookups;
and it saves significant space in the global `GQuark` table (a 9.6%
reduction in entries in that table, by a rough test using
gnome-software).

We have to be a little more relaxed on the signal name validation than
we are for property name validation, as GTK installs a
`-gtk-private-changed` signal which violates the signal naming rules.

875e2afa55 gsignal: Canonicalise signal name when looking it up in an object
Previously, we’d look up the signal name as passed to (for example)
`g_signal_lookup()`, and rely on the fact that signals are inserted
twice into `g_signal_key_bsa`; once in canonical form and once not.

In preparation for only inserting signals into `g_signal_key_bsa` once,
we now try looking up a signal with the given signal name and, if that
fails, try canonicalising the name and trying again.

This is a performance hit on lookups for non-canonical names, but
shouldn’t affect the performance of lookups for canonical names. If
people want performance, they should use canonical names.

5afd574e91 Use the GObject hole on 64bit arches for some flags to improve performance
This uses a 32bit hole in the GObject structure on 64bit arches
as a flag field which can be optionally used for some preformance hints.

Currently there is a flag that gets set any time you connect to a signal
on a GObject which is used as early bailout for signal emissions, and using
the flags field instead of a user-data for checking if a GObject is
under construction.

c64b6da33c gsignal: add assert on closure invalidate path
It's theoretically possible that we could have a case where this would

would contain such a case.

Add an explicit assert here to quiet up static analysis.

18a33f72db introspection: use (nullable) or (optional) instead of (allow-none)
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.

9f4d5e8b91 gsignal: Mention handler ID type in signal connection macro docs
gtk-doc doesn’t make the return type clear, because these are macros
rather than inline functions, so people often have to guess at the
return type (or look it up from g_signal_connect_closure(), but that’s
hard work).

Make it clear that the return type for handler IDs is gulong. While
there, fix the capitalisation of ‘id’ to ‘ID’ in a few places.

25a7c817d3 glib: Add missing (nullable) and (optional) annotations
Add various (nullable) and (optional) annotations which were missing
from a variety of functions. Also port a couple of existing (allow-none)
annotations in the same files to use (nullable) and (optional) as
appropriate instead.

Secondly, add various (not nullable) annotations as needed by the new
default in gobject-introspection of marking gpointers as (nullable). See
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=729660.

This includes adding some stub documentation comments for the
assertion macro error functions, which weren’t previously documented.
The new comments are purely to allow for annotations, and hence are
marked as (skip) to prevent the symbols appearing in the GIR file.

69002f726d signal: return TRUE from g_signal_has_handler_pending for custom class closure
This is almost always what you want, because if you're using this you
want to know if any "custom code" (i.e. not the default class closure)
is going to be run if you emit this signal.

I looked at all the existing uses of this and they were all broken in the
presence of g_signal_override_class_closure().
