Calling `dlopen()` with `libutil.so` makes the installed tests depend on
having glibc's development files installed. To avoid this, we can work
out the runtime library name at build time and `dlopen` that instead.
This approach is [taken from libfprint][1], thanks to Marco Trevisan.

`ENXIO` can be returned from `open(2)` for special files (FIFOs, device
files and domain sockets) which are not backed by anything.
This fixes the error returned by `g_file_replace()` when trying to
replace such a file, so that it now matches the documentation.

These test all the functionality and combinations of flags I can think
of. They do not cover dynamic behaviour (for example, what would happen
if the source file is deleted by another process part-way through a call
to `g_file_replace()`).

The `G_FILE_CREATE_REPLACE_DESTINATION` flag is equivalent to unlinking
the destination file and re-creating it from scratch. That did
previously work, but in the process the code would call `open(O_CREAT)`
on the file. If the file was a dangling symlink, this would create the
destination file (empty). That’s not an intended side-effect, and has
security implications if the symlink is controlled by a lower-privileged
process.
Fix that by not opening the destination file if it’s a symlink, and
adjusting the rest of the code to cope with
- the fact that `fd == -1` is not an error iff `is_symlink` is true,
- and that `original_stat` will contain the `lstat()` results for the
symlink now, rather than the `stat()` results for its target (again,
iff `is_symlink` is true).
This means that the target of the dangling symlink is no longer created,
which was the bug. The symlink itself continues to be replaced (as
before) with the new file — this is the intended behaviour of
`g_file_replace()`.
The behaviour for non-symlink cases, or cases where the symlink was not
dangling, should be unchanged.
Includes a unit test.

Since a following commit is going to add a new test which references
Gitlab, so it’s best to move the URI bases inside the test cases.

Close output file to ensure all buffered output actually gets written.
Otherwise, glib-genmarshal output is sometimes empty (for example, when trying
to build gdk-pixbuf on Windows, with Meson installed from .msi package).
argparse.FileType doesn't get closed automagically when the script exits:

Run `systemd-machine-id-setup` when creating the image, so that
`/etc/machine-id` is created with a valid ID. Since systemd isn’t
started when running the CI image with podman/Docker, it’s not created
otherwise. This causes some tests to fail.

Include the size of the `machine-id` file, but not the value itself as
that is sensitive for non-throwaway machines. What’s most useful for
debugging CI problems is knowing whether, and where, the `machine-id` is
set.

So the tests can access `/var/lib/dbus/machine-id`. This is not a
behaviour change relative to older behaviour on CI.
In future, it might make more sense to revert this commit and change the
CI scripts so they symlink
`/home/user/glib-installed/var/lib/dbus/machine-id` to the system
machine ID; or ensure that `/etc/machine-id` exists on all the CI
machines. That’s too complicated to do right now though.

This will require distributions to ensure they pass
`--localstatedir=/var` correctly to Meson, but they should be doing that
already.
See https://mesonbuild.com/Builtin-options.html#directories for details
about how Meson treats `localstatedir` differently from most other `dir`
variables.

It’s unlikely that the machine ID will be invalid (it’s system
configuration), but it would be helpful to not propagate invalid IDs
further, since a lot of things rely on it.
It’s not easy to test this (it requires factoring out the code so it can
be used from a test program, or allowing it to load a machine ID from a
custom path), so I haven’t added unit tests. I’ve tested manually by
overriding the loaded machine ID.

The changes in 4273c43902 did not guard
macros in `gatomic.h` which use `glib_typeof`. This meant that when
552b8fd862 was committed, moving the
include of `<type_traits>` under such a guard, these macros were still
trying to use it. This broke the build of at least vte.
Fix this by guarding the API break in `gatomic.h` too.
This release series of GLib began using features that are provided in
the Windows 8 SDK and later for Visual Studio builds. This also means
that it is no longer possible to build GLib with Visual Studio 2008 nor
2010 since the Windows 8+ SDKs do not work with those compiler versions.
Mention that people that still need to use those Visual Studio versions
should continue sticking on to glib-2.66.x, and so remove the section
about the workarounds that need to be applied for Visual Studio 2008
builds, since they are no longer applicable.
Meson incorrectly detects strcasecmp, strncasecmp on clang-cl if 'prefix:'
is not specified for cc.has_function().

Before this change:
msvc was using _stricmp()
gcc on mingw was using strcasecmp()
gcc on linux was using strcasecmp()
clang-cl was trying to use strcasecmp()
After this change:
msvc is using _stricmp()
gcc on mingw is using strcasecmp()
gcc on linux is using strcasecmp()
clang-cl is using _stricmp()
Tests are still failing to build with clang-cl, but that's a separate issue.
The doc used different phrasing for the same thing, e.g. "if any thread"
vs "any other thread."
Also make it clear that trying to take a write lock while already having
a lock, or trying to take a read lock while having a write lock, is
undefined.
