This reverts commit 94273b0ebf.
Meson 1.2.0 contains a fix for the underlying issue (in commit
bd3d2cf91894b1f91128011b2cf56a5bd2c326ae), and we now depend on 1.2.0.
So the workaround is no longer needed.

This will make it easier and more obvious for developers to run them
locally: I'm sure I'm not the only developer who had assumed that
`.gitlab-ci/` is private to the CI environment and inappropriate (or
perhaps even destructive) to run on a developer/user system.
The lint checks are automatically skipped (with TAP SKIP syntax) if we
are not in a git checkout, or if git or the lint tool is missing. They
can also be disabled explicitly with `meson test --no-suite=lint`,
which downstream distributions will probably want to do.
By default, most lint checks are reported as an "expected failure"
(with TAP TODO syntax) rather than a hard failure, because they do not
indicate a functional problem with GLib and there is a tendency for
lint tools to introduce additional checks or become more strict over
time. Developers can override this by configuring with `-Dwerror=true`
(which also makes compiler warnings into fatal errors), or by running
the test suite like `LINT_WARNINGS_ARE_ERRORS=1 meson test --suite=lint`.
One exception to this is tests/check-missing-install-tag.py, which is
checking a functionally significant feature of our build system, and
seems like it is unlikely to have false positives: if that one fails,
it is reported as a hard failure.
run-style-check-diff.sh and run-check-todos.sh are not currently given
this treatment, because they require search-common-ancestor.sh, which
uses Gitlab-CI-specific information to find out which commits are in-scope
for checking.

This allows the tests to be run with `meson test --setup thorough` and
it will run all the GTest tests with `-m thorough`.
Since this argument isn’t supported by the Python tests, it’s not passed
to them.

Previously, `-Dman=false` was the default, because the generated man
pages were shipped in the distribution tarball already, so the option
actually mostly controlled whether to *re*build them.
The generated pages are no longer shipped in the tarball (and probably
haven’t been since the port to Meson, though I haven’t checked), so it
makes sense to change the default to encourage building the man pages if
the right tooling (`rst2man`) is available.

In most CI builds. (Not all of them, though, so we can also test the
build works with it disabled.)
This is needed for the upcoming libgirepository tests, as they need some
GIR files to test against.

Alpine 3.19 ships with Meson 1.3.0, which has broken handling of File
objects and their paths. This causes (as far as I can tell)
un-work-around-able breakage of GLib’s build.
See https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/5273#issuecomment-1851811417
That should be fixed in Meson 1.4.0, but that might not be released for
a while. Because we’re here to test GLib, not Meson, let’s pin the Meson
version in the Alpine CI image to 1.2.3, which we know works and is
reasonably up to date (and is what the other CI images use).

The changes in commit 95479256df didn’t
completely work (or some other change has broken them since): the
informational message at the end of the script is now not printed.
Fix that by stopping bash exiting immediately if the subshell exits, by
using it in a boolean expression.

The `%E` modifier causes dates to be formatted using an alternative era
representation for years. This doesn’t do anything for most dates, but
in locales such as Thai and Japanese it causes years to be printed using
era names.
In Thai, this means the Thai solar calendar
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thai_solar_calendar). In Japanese, this
means Japanese era names
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_era_name).
The `%E` modifier syntax follows what’s supported in glibc — see
nl_langinfo(3).
Supporting this is quite involved, as it means loading the `ERA`
description from libc and parsing it.
Unit tests are included.

Fixes: #3119
And update all the CI builds to use the latest micro release from that
series, 1.2.3.
This version bump means we can:
- Drop some backwards-compatibility Meson checks
- Fix a periodic CI failure caused by a now-fixed Meson bug
(https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/pull/10633)
It’s in line with our [Meson version policy](./docs/meson-version.md),
as Meson 1.2.1 is available in
[Debian Trixie](https://packages.debian.org/source/trixie/meson) and the
[freedesktop SDK](c95902f2ed/elements/components/meson.bst).

The alt-digits are loaded from `nl_langinfo()` in a `GOnce` section,
which means `nl_langinfo()` is not re-queried after the process changes
locale (if that happens).
So, change the `GOnce` to a mutex and store the locale of the alt-digits
alongside them. This will introduce contention when calling
`format_number()` is called, but how often are multiple threads trying
to format dates at the same time?
If this does get highlighted as a performance problem, the other
approach I considered was a `GPrivate` struct containing all the
locale-specific cached data. That comes at the cost of using a
`GPrivate` slot (although that’s only particularly expensive on Windows,
and the locale code is quite different for Windows, so perhaps that
could be avoided entirely). It does mean that all locale printing could
be lock-free and still safely update cached data on a locale change.

The files here are copied from the docs-gtk-org
branch of gtk.
This adds gi-docgen to the CI Dockerfiles and ensures the new versions

That means Debian Bookworm and Fedora 37.
Also rework the mingw Dockerfile to be based on the Fedora one, so that
the underlying layers can be shared. This should reduce the disk
consumption of the registry a little.

This is a departure from our policy of using the minimum required Meson
version, but I think it might be worth a try to see if it fixes the
persistent intermittent build failures on these platforms due to what
looks like build dependency graph issues.
For example:
- https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/jobs/2579411
- https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/jobs/2578792
- https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/jobs/2579220
- https://gitlab.gnome.org/pwithnall/glib/-/jobs/2588507
I was looking at trying to diagnose some of these failures in order to
potentially file bugs against Meson, but the first step is really to
test against the latest version of Meson. So here we are.
Crucially, our other CI jobs continue to use the minimum Meson version
required by GLib, so we continue to test that GLib builds with its
minimum dependencies. I do not plan to change that.
Also crucially, this MR continues to use a specific Meson version,
rather than asking `pip` to install the latest available. Doing that
could lead to unexpected regressions in future, and that’s not what
GLib’s CI is meant to be testing for.

Now that we're using TAP parsing, this will show subtest failures in
details but without showing any logging error, that we'd still need to parse
from actual logs.
That file is created if running the `unstable_tests` suite succeeds. It
can fail, though, leaving that log file nonexistent. There’s no point in
failing the whole test run by bailing out if postprocessing the log file
fails.
Occasionally postprocessing can fail with a `FileNotFoundError`.

This reverts commit 91f14cd058.
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
The fuzz tests are run on a separate CI system, and we don’t care what
their code coverage is. The only reason they’re run on our CI systems at
all is as a smokecheck. They are not unit tests that we want to check
are running every line.
Similarly, exclude copylibs/subprojects as GLib is not responsible for
testing them. They have (or should have) their own unit tests and code
coverage metrics in their upstreams.

This doesn’t enforce licensing/copyright headers to be present on all
files, but does check that at least a minimum number of files are
correct.
This should help avoid new files being added without appropriate
licensing information in future.
The baseline is set at what `reuse lint` outputs for me at the moment.
See https://reuse.software/tutorial/#step-2 for information about how to
add REUSE-compliant licensing/copyright to files.

We have tests that are failing in some environments, but it's
difficult to handle them because:
- for some environments we just allow all the tests to fail: DANGEROUS
- when we don't allow failures we have flacky tests: A CI pain
So, to avoid this and ensure that:
- New failing tests are tracked in all platforms
- gitlab integration on tests reports is working
- coverage is reported also for failing tests
Add support for `can_fail` keyword on tests that would mark the test as
part of the `failing` test suite.
Not adding the suite directly when defining the tests as this is
definitely simpler and allows to define conditions more clearly (see next
commits).
Now, add a default test setup that does not run the failing and flaky tests
by default (not to bother distributors with testing well-known issues) and
eventually run all the tests in CI:
- Non-flaky tests cannot fail in all platforms
- Failing and Flaky tests can fail
In both cases we save the test reports so that gitlab integration is
preserved.
