GLib currently tries to use FAM volume monitor for monitoring files
within home on NFS. If FAM support is not available, it fallbacks by
default to GInotifyFileMonitor. I think we should fallback to
GPollFileMonitor instead, because inotify is not reliable on NFS,
which may cause issues for dconf. With this patch, it should be safe to
not build libgiofam and still be sure that dconf works properly if home
is mounted on NFS. I think this might be a first step to remove FAM
support from GLib completely, because gamin is buggy and dead for
several years already. Gamin just polls files on NFS anyway. This
change applies on files only, because GPollFileMonitor seems doesn't
support dirs, however it should be enough for dconf. The other
drawback is that one can't set poll timeout currently. Just a note
that this can still be overwritten by GIO_USE_FILE_MONITOR.
Releasing GVolumeMonitor before g_volume_mount finish cause that
g_volume_get_mount returns NULL, because the mount is not correctly
propagated to the volume.

The gresource code uses libelf if available but that also depends on mmap but isn't
guarded with HAVE_MMAP. This can make the build fail under MSYS2 where a mingw version
of libelf exists but there is no mmap.
Instead of guarting the libelf code with HAVE_LIBELF add a new macro named USE_LIBELF
which is only defined if libelf and mmap support are available.
Also install the mingw libelf version for CI so we catch similar errors in the future.
When checking that the timezone code falls back to UTC if a zone is
unknown, don’t use ‘PST’, because that can actually exist on some
systems.

The previous 2.57.2 release failed. The tarball for this one will be
generated using `ninja dist`, but should still be good to be built using
autotools. `make distcheck` on it has been tested.

See previous commit; same reasoning behind the commit, except that these
sources weren’t (yet) causing `make distcheck` to fail.

Instead of messing around with EXTRA_*_SOURCES and manually handling .lo
files, why not just add gwin32.c to the GLib sources conditionally?
This will hopefully fix `make distcheck` failing due to gwin32.Plo not
being generated in the sub-builddir≠srcdir stage, due to depcomp
inexplicably not generating it. (Note that it is correctly generated in
non-distcheck builds.)

The parser state machine for bookmark files did not handle unexpected
nesting of elements, such as a <bookmark> element inside a <title>
element — it would print a critical warning rather than returning a
GError.
Fix that, and add various unit tests for it. The set of tests includes
various other general markup tests as provided by Jussi Judin.

That should format these character classes correctly in the
documentation, and prevent them being interpreted by gtk-doc as (broken)
Markdown hyperlinks.

They should either be generated at build time, or ignored completely,
depending on the presence of --[enable|disable]-man.

It is a bug if we distribute files which are generated at build time —
they should be built on the machine which is compiling GLib, not be
shipped in the tarball.
This brings the autotools-generated tarball in line with the
ninja-generated one, with the exception of man pages and gtk-doc HTML
output.

If something which looks like a closing tag is left unfinished, but
isn’t paired to an opening tag in the document, the error handling code
would do a null pointer dereference. Avoid that, at the cost of
introducing a new translatable error message.

When formatting the error messages for markup parsing errors, the parser
was unconditionally reading a UTF-8 character from the input buffer —
but the buffer might end with a partial code sequence, resulting in
reading off the end of the buffer by up to three bytes.
Fix this and add a test case, courtesy of pdknsk.

The documentation claims that g_volume_get_mount should succeed after
g_volume_mount. Let's update mounts before releasing g_volume_mount to
be sure that the mount is added to the corresponding volume. The same
is done in GVfsUDisks2VolumeMonitor.

See https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2018-July/msg00004.html
for a discussion on if/when we can start relying on Python 3 only.
Use Python 3.4 as a new requirement because that's the version used in
SLES 12 and Debian 8 and there is no good reason to require something newer
right now.
We should bail when we detect that adding a number of items to an array
would cause it to overflow. Since we can't change to using gsize for ABI
reasons we should protect the integrity of the process even if that means
crashing.
