In the Dictionary section of the gvariant-format-strings documentation
only how to construct a dictionary is shown.
Add a small example showing how to extract data from a nested dictionary
and specifically from a GVariant of type "(oa{sa{sv})". Move also the
Dictionary section after the GVariant * section for the sake of clarity.

By default, only build man pages and gtk-doc if the build-deps were
found. To force-enable, pass -Dwith-docs=yes and -Dwith-man=yes.
Also use a foreach loop for man pages instead of listing them all
manually
Very often when we want to convert a string to number, we assume that
the string contains only a number. We have g_ascii_strto* family of
functions to do the conversion but they are awkward to use - one has
to check if errno is zero, end_ptr is not NULL and *end_ptr points to
the terminating nul and then do the bounds checking. Many projects
need this kind of functionality, so it gets reimplemented all the
time.
This commit adds some replacement functions that convert a string to a
signed or unsigned number that also follows the usual way of error
reporting - returning FALSE on failure and filling an error output
parameter.
Partially based on telepathy-glib’s tp_g_ptr_array_contains(), and a
patch by Xavier Claessens <xavier.claessens@collabora.co.uk>.
Test cases included.

Many UUID users will just need a random string, which can be generated
simply by calling the function g_uuid_string_random().

The macro could be used at initialization time to avoid having an
unitialized builder, especially with g_auto variables.
The macro tries to be a bit more type-safe by making sure that the
variant_type parameter is actually "const GVariantType
*". Unfortunately I have no idea how to make it possible to also pass
a "const gchar *" parameter without warning.

In a vague attempt at ensuring the .stp scripts can be closely
associated with the .so files which they hard-code references to, rename
the scripts so they include the LT version — so that they are the .so
file name plus .stp.
This does not fix the fact that our .stp scripts will not work on
multiarch systems, as they are installed in an architecture-independent
directory (/usr/share/systemtap/tapset). At the moment, it is
recommended that any distribution who package the .stp files should
install them in the architecture-specific subdirectories of this (for
example, /usr/share/systemtap/tapset/x86-64).
A better long-term solution for this is under discussion upstream:

This makes it easier to use GKeyFile from language bindings, and makes
the API more consistent and modern with the new data type available in
GLib.

Currently the doc is incomplete when builddir!=srcdir
(e.g. debian package) because glibconfig.h is generared from
configure.ac and is thus missing from srcdir. This leads to
missing doc for symbols like G_GINT64_FORMAT.

Add some helpers for builds-checked unsigned integer arithmetic to GLib.
These will be based on compiler intrinsics where they are available,
falling back to standard manual checks otherwise.
The fallback case needs to be implemented as a function (which we do
inline) because we cannot rely on statement expressions. We also
implement the intrinsics case as an inline in order to avoid people
accidentally writing non-portable code which depends on static
evaluation of the builtin.
For now there is only support for addition and multiplication for guint,
guint64 and gsize. It may make sense to add support for subtraction or
for the signed equivalents of those types in the future if we find a use
for that.

Fix a few typical problems, and also stop wrapping the inline definition
of g_steal_pointer in parens, since it is not necessary and it confuses
gtk-doc.
Add g_auto() and g_autoptr() as helpers for declaring variables with
automatic cleanup.
Add some macros to help types define cleanup functions for themselves.
Going forward it will be an expectation that people use this macro when
creating a new type, even if they do not intend to use the auto-cleanup
functionality for themselves.
These new macros only work on GCC and clang, which is why we resisted
adding them for so long. There exist many people who are only
interested in writing programs for these compilers, however, and a
similar API in libgsystem has proven to be extremely popular, so let's
expose this functionality to an even wider audience.
We ignore deprecation warnings when emitting the free functions, which
seems suspicious. The reason that we do this is not because we want to
call deprecated functions, but just the opposite: sometimes the free
function will be an _unref() function that is only AVAILABLE_IN newer
versions, and these warnings are also implemented as deprecation
warnings.
