Check if thumbnails are created in the path we expect and that we can
retrieve their information, but also that we try to get the biggest size
available when multiple are available.
g_str_equal() is a nicer API than strcmp()==0, and less error prone.
However, forcing a function call prevents compiler from doing
optimizations. In the case it is not used as callback to GHashTable,
provide a macro that calls strcmp directly. This also has the side
effect that it forces arguments to be `const char *` instead of
`gconstpointer` in the case it is not used as callback, which adds type
safety.
Fixes: #2775
Instead of replacing the slice allocator wholesale, we can start phasing
it out by having GTypeInstance use the system allocator on operating
systems where we can assume good performance profiles.
We cannot commit to fully gutting GSlice in the cases where we might
still need it, like the G(S)List allocator and small, similarly-sized
data structures.
The main user of GSlice is still GTypeInstance/GObject, and those have
moved out of the sweet spot of GSlice's performance envelove over the
years, with larger instance sizes and private data.

The GIconIface virtual functions were not introspectable as they use
complex parameters that GI isn't able to compute alone.
So provide introspection metadata to the two function pointers
definitions.
GIcon::from_tokens is a static virtual function so it won't actually
work until GI support for it [1] is merged.

Commit 4a4d9eb662 initially switched Meson to find the python
program using find_program('python3'). Sadly that caused a
regression, since in some cases with MSVC it would fallback to
'meson.exe runpython', which is undesired.
However, that particular code was reverted back to an also
undesired lookup method, find_installation('python3'). This
way of finding python also breaks on Windows + MSVC, in particular
when setting it up as follows:
```
winget install python
winget install meson
```
This fails building GLib with:
> python3 not found
Fix that by not passing any argument to find_installation(), which
lets Meson figure it all out by itself.
The flag is still ignored but this way we properly deprecate
at compile time without raising an unexpected criticals at runtime:
g_regex_new: assertion '(compile_options & ~G_REGEX_COMPILE_MASK) == 0' failed
and then failing to create the regex completely.

The validate() vfunc for GParamSpecParam returns FALSE for empty GValue,
which means the is_valid() vfunc should do the same.
This avoids a segfault when calling g_param_value_is_valid() on a
GParamSpecParam.
Fixes: #2770
Previously it was wrongly assuming that a NUL-termianted string is
passed and the whole string should be written out.
Also document this bug in the documentation of g_log_structured() to
avoid surprises when using older GLib versions.
