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.

This eliminates a call from every call site of signal_id_lookup(). It
introduces no functional changes, but allows subsequent refactoring.

Since signal names are the same as property names, reference between the
two. Improve the formatting, and make it clearer that `_` is
discouraged.

Interned strings are never freed, so we don’t need to take a copy of
them when returning them in a #GValue. This is a minor memory allocation
improvement, with no functional changes.

Rather than interning a property name string which isn’t canonicalised,
canonicalise it first, and enforce stricter validation on inputs.
The previous code was not incorrect (since the property machinery would
have canonicalised the property names itself, internally), but would
have resulted in non-canonical property names getting into the GQuark
table unnecessarily. With the new code, the interned property names from
property installation time should be consistently reused.

They’re causing the CI to fail. While someone familiar with FreeBSD
investigates the failure, it’s easiest to disable all C11-style atomics
than add more preprocessor checks to only disable the atomics added in
!1123.
If nobody can fix the new C11-style atomics before the 2.64.0 release,
this commit should be reverted and a more comprehensive set of preprocessor
checks put in place to essentially revert !1123 for BSD only.

In glib/gutf8.c there was an UB in function g_utf8_find_prev_char when
p == str. In this case we substract one from p and now p points to a
location outside of the boundary of str. It's a UB by the standard.
Since this function are meant to be fast, we don't check the boundary
conditions.
Fix glib/tests/utf8-pointer test. It failed due to the UB described
above and aggressive optimisation when -O2 and LTO are enabled. Some
compilers (e.g. GCC with major version >= 8) create an optimised version
of g_utf8_find_prev_char with the first argument fixed and stored
somewhere else (with a different pointer). It can be solved with either
marking str as volatile or creating a copy of str in memory. We choose
the second approach since it's more explicit solution.
Add additional checks to glib/tests/utf8-pointer test.

There’s no need to have the property naming documentation in two places,
with one version of it being stricter than the other. Rationalise it to
one place, link to that consistently, and settle on the stricter
version.

We cannot just call
G_PARAM_SPEC_GET_CLASS (pspec)->value_set_default (pspec, &dflt_value);
without initializing the GValue first. It would call
param_string_set_default(), which would set the pointer value
to a cloned string (which later never gets released, because
the GValue is not known to hold a string).

Commit 7678b107 seems to have left the GHashTable pretty printer with an
off-by-one error, skipping the first key it encounters and printing an
extra garbage key/value pair instead. This fixes that by moving an
increment to the end of a loop rather than the beginning.
This ensures that when running many instances of the test in parallel,
they don’t collide in the same current directory, and hence spuriously
fail. This can happen when writing `out.xbel`, for example.

In general, we should aim to always check a `GError` before checking a
boolean, since the error message from the `GError` gives us a lot more
information about failure, which helps with debugging.

When choosing the type to base `size_t` on, check the compatibility of
passing pointers, as well as the width of the type, to avoid compiler
warnings in future.
For now, the code to do the checks is fairly ugly due to limitations in
Meson. In particular, the new checks are limited to gcc and clang (other
compilers will behave as before), and they are all duplicated. See the
comments in the code for links to Meson improvement requests.

Similar to 3837b83f, glibc memcmp is declared with the first two
arguments annotated as non-null via an attribute, which results in the
undefined behaviour sanitizer considering it to be UB to pass a null
pointer there (even if we are comparing 0 bytes, and hence not actually
dereferencing the pointer).
This shows up in /gvariant/serialiser/children when run with the
undefined behaviour sanitizer.
