This interfaceifies the extra functions that were on GDBusActionGroup
for dealing with platform data.
The two main benefits of doing this:
- no longer have to do a silly song and dance in GApplication to avoid
calling GDBusActionGroup API from non-dbus-aware code
- the interface can be reused by the action group exporter to avoid
ugly and unbindable hook callbacks
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=665737
We provide a mechanism by which a 'platform' (eg: Gtk) can register some
hook functions to be called to collect platform-data at the point of
sending an outgoing action activation request and also to inform the
platform of this data on incoming requests (before and after dispatching
the actual request).
This can be used for forwarding timestamp and startup-notification
information (as is presently done in GApplication) but the before/after
hook could also be used for acquiring/releasing the Gdk lock or other
similar things.

This is an interface to represent GSimpleActionGroup-like objects (ie:
those GActionGroups that operate by containing a number of named GAction
instances).
There are no public 'exporter' objects, so don't allude to them
in the function names. At the same time, we want to make it clear
that these functions are D-Bus specific.
The new APIs are
g_action_group_dbus_export_start
g_action_group_dbus_export_query
g_action_group_dbus_export_stop
g_menu_model_dbus_export_start
g_menu_model_dbus_export_query
g_menu_model_dbus_export_stop
This is useful in peer-to-peer connections.

This new API allows requesting multiple pieces of information about a
particular action in one go and also simplifies the burden for
GActionGroup implementations -- they need not implement all the separate
APIs now.
Add GNetworkMonitor and its associated extension point, provide a base
implementation that always claims the network is available, and a
netlink-based implementation built on top of that that actually tracks
the network state.

Add functions for manipulating the environment under which a
GAppLaunchContext will launch its children, to avoid thread-related
bugs with using setenv() directly.

With search gaining traction as being the preferred way to locate
applications, the existing .desktop file fields meant for browsing
often produce insufficient results.
gnome-control-center introduced a custom X-GNOME-Keywords field for
that purpose, which we plan to support in gnome-shell as well.

Make the options from an /etc/fstab entry available as public API -
this can be used to support options such as
comment=gvfs.name=Foo\040Bar
to e.g. set the name of an fstab mount in the UI to "Foo Bar".

In particular, remove the libasyncns import, which was only used by
GUnixResolver, which is only used when threads are not available.
Likewise remove GWin32Resolver, and the hacky broken non-threaded
parts of GIOScheduler.

* Add 'invoke' style method, which can be used to call an interaction
from any thread. The interaction will be run in the appropriate
#GMainContext
* Sync methods can be called whether main loop is running or not.
* Derived classes can choose to implement only sync or async
interaction method, and the invoke method will fill in the blanks.
* Documentation for the above.
* Tests for the above.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=657567
* Load modules from paths listed in GIO_EXTRA_MODULES environment
variable first.
* Ignore duplicate modules based on module basename.
* Add the concept of GIOModuleScope which allows other callers to
skip duplicate loaded modules, or block specific modules based on
basename.
* Document behavior.

The main rationale for adding it was to avoid having gnome-shell
mmap'ing /etc/localtime once a second. However, we can just as easily
run inotify there, and given no one else was clamoring for a way to
detect when the time zone changes, I don't see a need for public API
here - at least not yet.
In the bigger picture, I just don't believe that the vast majority of
applications are going to go out of their way to instantiate and keep
around a random GTimeZoneMonitor class. And if they do, it's has the
side effect that for other bits of code in the process, local GDateTime
instances may start varying again!
So, if code can't rely on local GDateTime instances being in a
consistent state anyways, let's just do that always. The
documentation now says that this is the case. Applications have
always been able to work in a consistent local time zone by
instantiating a zone and then using it for GDateTime constructors.
We fix the "gnome-shell stats /etc/localtime once a second" issue by
using timerfd (in glib) and inotify (in gnome-shell).

The database is an abstract object implemented by the various TLS
backends, which is used by GTlsConnection to lookup certificates
and keys, as well as verify certificate chains.
Also add GTlsInteraction, which can be used to prompt the user
for a password or PIN (used with the database).

Also add convenience _with_unix_fd_list variants to GDBusConnection,
GDBusProxy and GDBusMethodInvocation types to easily support this.

This commit represents an API break to GAction in the following ways:
- the 'set_state' entry in the GActionInterface vtable has been
renamed to 'change_state'. The number and order of vtable items has
not otherwise changed.
- g_action_set_state() has been renamed to g_action_change_state() to
match the updated vtable entry.
- the "state" property of the GAction interface has been changed to
read-only to reflect the fact that g_action_set_state() no longer
exists.
- GSimpleActionClass has been hidden. GSimpleAction can no longer be
subclassed.
>> Rationale
g_action_set_state() has never been a true setter in the sense that
calling it will update the value of the "state" property. It has always
been closer to "request 'state' to be changed to this value" with
semantics defined by the implementor of the interface. This is why the
equivalent method in GActionGroup had its name changed from 'set' to
'change'. This change makes the two interfaces more consistent and
removes any implication about the effect that calling set_state() should
have on the 'state' property.
>> Impact
This incompatible API break was undertaken only because I strongly
suspect that it will go entirely unnoticed. If the break actually
affects anybody, then we will accommodate them (possibly going as far as
to revert this commit entirely).
The virtual table change only impacts implementors of GAction. I
strongly suspect that this is nobody (except for GSimpleAction).
The hiding of GSimpleActionClass only impacts impacts subclasses of
GSimpleAction. I strongly suspect that none of these exist.
The changing of the property to be read-only only affects people who
were trying to change the state by using GObject properties. I strongly
suspect that this is nobody at all.
The removal of the g_action_set_state() call is the most dangerous, but
I still suspect that it will impact nobody outside of GLib. If anybody
is impacted by this change then, at their request, I will reintroduce
the API as a deprecated alias for g_action_change_state().
These will validate the resulting line, and throw a conversion error.
In practice these will likely be used by bindings, but it's good
for even C apps too that don't want to explode if that text file
they're reading into Pango actually has invalid UTF-8.

The grouping in files/headers is not used anymore, and
the function attributes neither. Adapt abicheck scripts
and .def file generation rules accordingly.
.. and add a C setter to do this. Also make the C getter return a
reference since the property may be set from another thread. Also
change the constructor to _not_ take a GDBusConnection since this is
something you almost always want to do _after_ creating it. The
API/ABI break is fine as there has never been a GLib release with this
type.
