On !UNIX, return an error for send_fd() & receive_fd().

This is useful information for implementors of portable software to know
whether they can rely on credentials-passing.

Prevent the situation where errno is set by function A, then function B
is called (which is typically _(), but could be anything else) and it
overwrites errno, then errno is checked by the caller.
errno is a horrific API, and we need to be careful to save its value as
soon as a function call (which might set it) returns. i.e. Follow the
pattern:
int errsv, ret;
ret = some_call_which_might_set_errno ();
errsv = errno;
if (ret < 0)
puts (strerror (errsv));
This patch implements that pattern throughout GLib. There might be a few
places in the test code which still use errno directly. They should be
ported as necessary. It doesn’t modify all the call sites like this:
if (some_call_which_might_set_errno () && errno == ESOMETHING)
since the refactoring involved is probably more harmful than beneficial
there. It does, however, refactor other call sites regardless of whether
they were originally buggy.

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.
Since all element markup is now gone from the doc comments,
we can turn off the gtk-doc sgml mode, which means that from
now on, docbook markup is no longer allowed in doc comments.
To make this possible, we have to replace all remaining
entities in doc comments by their replacement text, & -> &
and so on.
While those strings ("Expecting 1 control message, got %d" and
"Expecting one fd, but got %d\n") have same singular/plural form
in english, it is not necessarily the case in other languages.

Add g_socket_get_option() and g_socket_set_option(), wrapping
getsockopt/setsockopt for the case of integer-valued options. Update
code to use these instead of the underlying calls.

Install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to include
the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not really
abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in particular,
are incompatible.
gnetworkingprivate.h now contains just a few internal URI-related
functions
Also add a g_networking_init() function to gnetworking.h, which can be
used to explicitly initialize OS-level networking, rather than having
that happen as a side-effect of registering GInetAddress.

Turns out libdbus doesn't send struct ucred credentials on linux, but
just relies on the SO_PEERCRED support. However, gdbus does send, and
expect to recieve a ucred credential. So, when libdbus talks to a
gdbus server the authentication fails to send the credentials.
We fix this by falling back to g_socket_get_credentials() if we don't
get any credential messages.
Since the previous commit, the g_unix_connection_send_credentials() /
g_unix_connection_receive_credentials() functions now also works on
FreeBSD since GUnixCredentialsMessage now works there.
The main idea is that the g_unix_connection_send_credentials() /
g_unix_connection_receive_credentials() functions are the "main" API
for getting credentials (one way or the other). So it's better to
avoid advertising where it is currently implemented.

- Make GCredentials instance and class structures private so it can't
be subclassed and we don't have to worry about ABI compat
issues. This also allows us to get rid of the GCredentialsPrivate
struct.
- Add a GCredentialsType enumeration that is used whenever exchanging
pointers with the user. This allows us to support OSes with
multiple native credential types. In particular, it allows
supporting OSes where the native credential evolves or even changes
over time.
- Add g_socket_get_credentials() method.
- Add tests for g_socket_get_credentials(). Right now this is in the
GDBus peer-to-peer test case but we can change that later.
- Move GTcpConnection into a separate gtk-doc page as was already
half-done with GUnixConnection. Also finish the GUnixConnection
move and ensure send_credentials() and receive_credentials()
methods are in the docs. Also nuke comment about GTcpConnection
being empty compared to its superclass.

Currently, to implement cancellability correctly, all synchronous
calls to GSocket must be preceded by a g_socket_condition_wait() call,
(even though GSocket does this internally as well) and all
asynchronous calls must do occasional manual
g_cancellable_is_cancelled() checks. Since it's trivial to do these
checks inside GSocket instead, and we don't particularly want to
encourage people to use the APIs non-cancellably, move the
cancellation support into GSocket and simplify the existing callers.

The whole protocol name thing is pretty weird. The getprotobyname functions
seem to only specify one mapping for name <-> ids, so all families/types
must use the same values. Plus the values used for the protocols are
standardized by IANA, so are always the same.
So, we drop using names for protocols, intead introducing an enum with
a few commonly availible and used protocols.
