Avoid generating more code than needed, so other than continuing using
the generic glib marshallers when possible, define once the custom ones
we need for each file we generate.
The marshallers are then re-used across all the interfaces defined
without duplicating the code size.
This is the same we're doing in code generated by glib-genmarshaller and
what gmarshal does internally.
Since the generated gdbus C code can be considered private too, this is
safe to do, and will allow faster access to GValue objects.
Get rid completely of the usage of the generic marshaller in gdbus
generated code, using instead specific marshallers.
Code is not yet optimized fully since we may still have duplicated
functions to be generated.
Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/issues/3028
We relied on g_cclosure_marshal_generic() to easily generate signal
marshallers, but this relies on inspecting each parameter type with ffi
and this implies a performance hit, other than breaking the stack-frame
unwinder used by Linux perf and so by sysprof.
Given that we know the types we work on, it's easy enough to generate
the marshallers ourself.

We were using emit_by_name which implies looking up for the signal name,
while the generated code can easily remember the signal ID and use it
instead, allowing direct access to the signal emission.
This reverts commit 19353017a7.
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
Because Meson complains about using `configure_file(copy: true)`.

Those tools are not needed at runtime for typical applications,
distributions typically package them separately.
This makes `meson install --tag runtime` skip installation of those
tools. Omitting `--tag` argument will still install them, as well as
with `--tag bin,bin-devel`.

The gdbus-codegen tool generates documentation from the XML introspection
description of a D-Bus interface. Currently, only DocBook is supported at
the moment, but not every modern documentation generator can handle that
format. The reStructuredText format is a bit more well-supported,
especially in documentation generators for non-C languages.
Unlike DocBook, we get to make our own structure and conventions for how
we structure the documentation when using reStructuredText.
When parsing a comment we're adding <para> elements ourselves, but the
DocBook generator already wraps any block of text that does not start
with a <para> element with one.

Like G_SOURCE_REMOVE and G_SOURCE_CONTINUE, these make it clearer what
it means to return TRUE or FALSE.
In particular, in GDBus methods that fail, the failure case still needs
to return TRUE (unlike the typical GError pattern), leading to comments
like this:
g_dbus_method_invocation_return_error (invocation, ...);
return TRUE; /* handled */
which can now be replaced by:
g_dbus_method_invocation_return_error (invocation, ...);
return G_DUS_METHOD_INVOCATION_HANDLED;
G_DBUS_METHOD_INVOCATION_UNHANDLED is added for symmetry, but is very
rarely (perhaps never?) useful in practice.

There are still some outdated or loaded terms used in GLib, mostly to do

of a wider migration of git terminology.

This adds three options to gdbus-codegen so that we may be able to
use a self-defined symbol decorator, such as _GLIB_EXTERN, to decorate
the generated prototypes, to be used possibly to export the symbols, if
needed.
The other two options allows including headers that are required for the
specified symbol decorator to be usable and preprocessor macros that are
required for the symbol decorator to be defined appropriately, also when
needed.
There were a couple of custom paths which could end up being relative,
rather than absolute, due to not properly prefixing them with
`get_option('prefix')`.
The use of `join_paths()` here correctly drops all path components
before the final absolute path in the list of arguments. So if someone
configures GLib with an absolute path for `gio_module_dir`, that will be
used unprefixed; but if someone configures with a relative path, it will
be prefixed by `get_option('prefix)`.

This complements the `--glib-min-required` argument, just like the
`GLIB_MIN_REQUIRED` and `GLIB_MAX_ALLOWED` preprocessor defines which
control access to APIs in C.
Currently, it doesn’t affect code generation at all. When we next change
code generation, we will need to gate any new API usage on this
argument.

Currently the code generated by gdbus-codegen uses
G_DBUS_CALL_FLAGS_NONE in its D-Bus calls, which occur for each method
defined by the input XML, and for proxy_set_property functions. This
means that if the daemon which implements the methods checks for
G_DBUS_FLAGS_ALLOW_INTERACTIVE_AUTHORIZATION and only does interactive
authorization if that flag is present, users of the generated code have
no way to cause the daemon to use interactive authorization (e.g. polkit
dialogs).
If we simply changed the generated code to always use
G_DBUS_FLAGS_ALLOW_INTERACTIVE_AUTHORIZATION, its users would have no
way to disallow interactive authorization (except for manually calling
the D-Bus method themselves).
So instead, this commit adds a GDBusCallFlags argument to method call
functions. Since this is an API break which will require changes in
projects using gdbus-codegen code, the change is conditional on the
command line argument --glib-min-version having the value 2.64 or
higher.
The impetus for this change is that I'm changing accountsservice to
properly respect G_DBUS_FLAGS_ALLOW_INTERACTIVE_AUTHORIZATION, and
libaccountsservice uses generated code for D-Bus method calls. So
these changes will allow libaccountsservice to continue allowing
interactive authorization, and avoid breaking any users of it which
expect that. See
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/accountsservice/accountsservice/merge_requests/46
It might make sense to also let GDBusCallFlags be specified for property
set operations, but that is not needed in the case of accountsservice,
and would require significant work and breaking API in multiple places.
Similarly, the generated code currently hard codes -1 as the timeout
value when calling g_dbus_proxy_call*(). Add a timeout_msec argument so
the user of the generated code can specify the timeout as well.
Also, test this new API. In gio/tests/codegen.py we test that the new
arguments are generated if and only of --glib-min-version is used with a
value greater than or equal to 2.64, and in gio/tests/meson.build we
test that the generated code with the new API can be linked against.
The test_unix_fd_list() test also needed modification to continue
working now that we're using gdbus-test-codegen.c with code generated
with --glib-min-version=2.64 in one test.
Finally, update the docs for gdbus-codegen to explain the effect of
using --glib-min-version 2.64, both from this commit and from
"gdbus-codegen: Emit GUnixFDLists if an arg has type `h` w/
min-version".
This is a reimplementation of commit
4aba03562b from Will Thompson, but
conditional on the caller passing `--glib-min-version 2.64` to
`gdbus-codegen` to explicitly opt-in to the new behaviour.
From the commit message for that commit:
Previously, if a method was not annotated with org.gtk.GDBus.C.UnixFD
then the generated code would never contain GUnixFDList parameters, even
if the method has 'h' (file descriptor) parameters. However, in this
case, the generated code is essentially useless: the method cannot be
called or handled except in degenerate cases where the file descriptors
are missing or ignored.
Check the argument types for 'h', and if present, generate code as if
org.gtk.GDBus.C.UnixFD annotation were specified.

This reverts commit 4aba03562b, preserving
the new tests but adjusting them to assert that the old behaviour is
restored.
As expected, there were a few projects which broke because of this.
Unfortunately, in one case the breakage crosses a project boundary:
sysprof ships D-Bus introspection XML, which is consumed by mutter and
passed through gdbus-codegen.
Since sysprof cannot add this annotation without breaking its existing
users, a warning is also not appropriate.

This change will break any existing code which refers to the (useless)
wrappers for such methods. The workaround for such code is to add the
org.gtk.GDBus.C.UnixFD annotation, which will cause the same generated
code to be emitted before and after this change.
If this is found to cause widespread problems, we can explore a
different approach (perhaps emitting a warning from the code generator,
or annotating the symbols as deprecated).

We're using the `install` argument for configure_file() all over the
place.
The support for an `install` argument for configure_file() was added in
Meson 0.50, but we haven't bumped the minimum version of Meson we
require, yet; which means we're getting compatibility warnings when
using recent versions of Meson, and undefined behaviour when using older
versions.
The configure_file() object defaults to `install: false`, unless an
install directory is used. This means that all instances of an `install`
argument with an explicit `true` or `false` value can be removed,
whereas all instances of `install` with a value determined from a
configuration option must be turned into an explicit conditional.
If using the --interface-info-{body,header} options to gdbus-codegen,
and the first interface to be outputted has no methods, but does have
properties or signals, an uninitialised variable would be used for the
property/signal ‘since’ values.
In other situations, the ‘since’ value for a prior method would have
been incorrectly used for the properties/signals.
