Let's explain the advantages of relying on GTlsConnection to perform
certificate verification.
Also, document that the issuer property is a little tricky, because the
issuer certificate might not be the certificate that actually gets used
in final certification path building. This is very unexpected to anybody
who is not an expert.
Because TLS certificate verification is extremely complex, the lookup
issuer function may be tempting to misuse even by experienced
developers. There is a notion that the issuer certificate will always be
used in the final certification path, but it's just not always true.
Trying to make security decisions based on the results of this function is
a trap, so let's document that.
It turns out that old versions of glib-networking actually reordered the
certificate chain to match the final verification path. This no longer
happens since a long time ago, because it was a buggy mess. Instead, we
rely on the TLS library to build the final verification path. Their path
building is not very good, but at least it's consistent. The point of
these doc updates is to clarify that only the TLS library can make
security decisions.
Document that HTTP requests may be performed to look up missing
certificates.
Finally, let's document that certificate verification using GTlsDatabase
cannot be as smart as certificate verification performed directly by
GTlsConnection.
g_win32_package_parser_enum_packages() reads beyond the end of a buffer
when doing a memcpy. With app verifier enabled on Windows, it causes
the application to crash on startup.
This change limits the memcpy to the size of the source string.

You need to separate the first entry in the list from the preceding
paragraph, and you should add a space before the enumerating symbol.
GTK-Doc accepts a very lax Markdown syntax, but any other tool parsing
our documentation will likely fail.
The value should be initialized to NULL before calling
g_win32_registry_key_get_value_w(), to ensure that cleanup
can be done unconditionally afterward.
To ensure that the watch is properly re-set every time, call
watch_keys() from the watch callback. Previously the watch was only
renewed after a data update was done in a worker thread, which made
no sense, since the update function was implemented in such a way
that it can (and should) be re-triggered on each key change, until
the changes stop coming, and that can only happen if we renew
the registry watcher right away.
If a key watch is renewed from the key watch callback, it results
in the callback being NULL, since we clear it after we call it.
Rearrange the function to make sure that the changes done by the
callback function are preserved properly.
This function can, in fact, return STATUS_SUCCESS. We shouldn't
assert that it doesn't.
For now interpret it just like STATUS_PENDING (i.e. APC will be called),
see how it goes (it isn't documented how the function behaves in this
case, we have to play it by ear).
Note that while we *can* use a better-documented RegNotifyChangeKeyValue() here,
it communicates back to us via event objects, which means that the registry
watcher would have to interact with the main loop directly and insert its
events (plural; one event per key) there. That would make the API more complicated.
Whereas the internal NT function communicates by calling an APC - we're good
as long as something somewhere puts the thread in alertable state.
When attempting to test Windows support for building libadwaita, since we are
using multiple GResource files, one would hit linker errors where multiple
definitions of the following symbols have been defined, when
glib-compile-resources was invoked without manual register:
resource_constructor_wrapper
resource_destructor_constructor
_arrayresource_constructor
_arrayresource_destructor
In order to avoid that, just prefix the definitions of resource_constructor
and resource_destructor, like what we do when --manual-register is used, with
what we pass in with --c-name so that we ensure that we do not end up in such
name collisions.
Port all existing calls in GLib to the new API so that they can receive
more detailed error information (although none of them actually make use
of it at the moment).
This also serves to test the new API better through use.

Helps: #203
The `g_file_trash` function fails with the `Unable to find or create trash
directory` error when the global `.Trash` directory exists. This is because
the commit 7f2af262 introduced the `gboolean success` variable to signalize
the detection of the trash folder, but didn't set it in all code branches.
Since for a time this variable was not initialized the bug wasn't visible
when the trash folder existed. The bug became effective after the `success`
variable was initialized with `FALSE` by the commit c983ded0. Let's explicitly
set the `success` variable in all branches to fix the global trash dir
detection.

The function which calls `SetFileTime()` works with seconds and
nanosecond, but the functions which call it are doing so with seconds
and microseconds.
Fix them so they convert to nanoseconds first.

The code appears to be dealing with time in units of 100ns, not 100µs,
so name the variable accordingly.
The rest of the arithmetic in that function appears consistent and
correct.

The modification time test creates a file, gets the modification time in
seconds, then gets the modification time in microseconds and assumes
that the difference between the two has to be above 0.
As rare as this may be, it can happen:
$ stat g-file-info-test-50A450 -c %y
2021-07-06 18:24:56.000000767 +0100
Change the test to simply assert that the difference not negative to
handle this case.
This is necessary when building glib with icecc. Icecc splits the build
process into two parts. The file is locally preprocessed with
-fdirectives-only to resolve any includes. This adds linemarkers to the
intermediate file. Without the new-line at the end of the file this:
#include "gconstructor_as_data.h"
#include "glib/glib-private.h"
Is turned into this:
const char gconstructor_code[] = "...";# 1 "glib/glib-private.h"
...
The result is a compile error:

The current code is unsafe to use from multiple threads at once.
GIOStream functions like this are supposed to be semi-threadsafe. It's
allowed for them to be called on both a reader thread and a writer
thread at the same time. Of course, it's still tricky and dangerous,
because it's only *really* threadsafe if the handshake has finished,
and API users have no plausible way to know that because the API
does not require performing an explicit handshake operation. But that's
a glib-networking problem. We can at least avoid the most obvious
threadsafety issue here in the API layer.
Note that we'll need to implement the new vfunc in glib-networking for
this to actually work.
