This is a departure from our policy of using the minimum required Meson
version, but I think it might be worth a try to see if it fixes the
persistent intermittent build failures on these platforms due to what
looks like build dependency graph issues.
For example:
- https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/jobs/2579411
- https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/jobs/2578792
- https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/jobs/2579220
- https://gitlab.gnome.org/pwithnall/glib/-/jobs/2588507
I was looking at trying to diagnose some of these failures in order to
potentially file bugs against Meson, but the first step is really to
test against the latest version of Meson. So here we are.
Crucially, our other CI jobs continue to use the minimum Meson version
required by GLib, so we continue to test that GLib builds with its
minimum dependencies. I do not plan to change that.
Also crucially, this MR continues to use a specific Meson version,
rather than asking `pip` to install the latest available. Doing that
could lead to unexpected regressions in future, and that’s not what
GLib’s CI is meant to be testing for.

Now that we're using TAP parsing, this will show subtest failures in
details but without showing any logging error, that we'd still need to parse
from actual logs.
That file is created if running the `unstable_tests` suite succeeds. It
can fail, though, leaving that log file nonexistent. There’s no point in
failing the whole test run by bailing out if postprocessing the log file
fails.
Occasionally postprocessing can fail with a `FileNotFoundError`.

This reverts commit 91f14cd058.
The freedesktop SDK, which is used by gnome-build-meta, only has Meson
0.63. Bumping GLib’s Meson dependency to 0.64 means that, at the moment,
GLib is not buildable in gnome-build-meta and hence can’t be tested in
nightly pipelines against other projects, etc.
That’s bad for testing GLib.
It’s arguably bad that we’re restricted to using an older version of
Meson than shipped by Debian Testing, but that’s a separate discussion
to be had.
Revert the Meson 0.64 dependency until the freedesktop SDK ships Meson ≥
0.64. This also means reverting the simplifications to use of
`gnome.mkenum_simple()`.
See https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/merge_requests/3077#note_1601064
The fuzz tests are run on a separate CI system, and we don’t care what
their code coverage is. The only reason they’re run on our CI systems at
all is as a smokecheck. They are not unit tests that we want to check
are running every line.
Similarly, exclude copylibs/subprojects as GLib is not responsible for
testing them. They have (or should have) their own unit tests and code
coverage metrics in their upstreams.

This doesn’t enforce licensing/copyright headers to be present on all
files, but does check that at least a minimum number of files are
correct.
This should help avoid new files being added without appropriate
licensing information in future.
The baseline is set at what `reuse lint` outputs for me at the moment.
See https://reuse.software/tutorial/#step-2 for information about how to
add REUSE-compliant licensing/copyright to files.

We have tests that are failing in some environments, but it's
difficult to handle them because:
- for some environments we just allow all the tests to fail: DANGEROUS
- when we don't allow failures we have flacky tests: A CI pain
So, to avoid this and ensure that:
- New failing tests are tracked in all platforms
- gitlab integration on tests reports is working
- coverage is reported also for failing tests
Add support for `can_fail` keyword on tests that would mark the test as
part of the `failing` test suite.
Not adding the suite directly when defining the tests as this is
definitely simpler and allows to define conditions more clearly (see next
commits).
Now, add a default test setup that does not run the failing and flaky tests
by default (not to bother distributors with testing well-known issues) and
eventually run all the tests in CI:
- Non-flaky tests cannot fail in all platforms
- Failing and Flaky tests can fail
In both cases we save the test reports so that gitlab integration is
preserved.
Sync with changes from GTK:
- Set a git config to work around security
improvements in recent git.
- Only fetch the two branches we want to compare
for the style check.
- Use the existing git merge-base command to find
their common ancestor.
This is in preparation for porting `GRegex` to libpcre2, which is
happening in !2529. It’s a big port, though, and specially rebuilding
the CI images to add libpcre2 for it is a pain.
Add libpcre2, and then !2529 can drop the old libpcre dependencies when
the port lands.

This will be useful in general, for manually debugging failures if we
need (without having to rebuild the CI images to do so).
It will also be useful for the `assert-msg-test` test, which is being
reworked in !2767.

Rather than carrying the copylib around inside GLib, which is a pain to
synchronise and affects our code coverage statistics.
This requires updating the CI images to cache the new subproject,
including updating the `cache-subprojects.sh` script to pull in git
submodules.
It also requires adding `gioenumtypes_dep` to be added to the
dependencies list of `libgio`, since it needs to be build before GVDB as
it’s pulled in by the GIO headers which GVDB includes.

There’s no point in having it in the root directory when it’s only
really used for CI. It just clutters up the root.

Move the lcovrc file to the root of the project, so that it’s picked up
by Meson when running `ninja coverage` locally.
See https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/4628
This won’t affect the code coverage run on the CI, since that explicitly
used the lcovrc file already.

libgamin was last released in 2007 and is dead
[upstream](https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/gamin). Distributions may
still ship it (although Fedora no longer does), but we want people to
use inotify on Linux since it’s actively supported.
BSDs use kqueue. Windows uses win32filemonitor.
FAM might still be used on some commercial Unix distributions, but there
are no contributors from those distributions, and certainly no CI for
them to prevent regressions.

Don’t take the opportunity to add support for Android API 31 or update
the version of the Android NDK we’re using to r23b, though, as I
couldn’t quickly get that to work and ran out of time.
Bumping the Fedora version will at least reduce our CI repository disk
