Since GtkApplication auto-loads some well-known resource paths. Add a
cross-reference to its documentation. (The cross-reference won’t be
linked if the GTK+ documentation isn’t available at build time, but this
is probably good enough. It is likely to be available.)

If we have an input parameter (or return value) we need to use (nullable).
However, if it is an (inout) or (out) parameter, (optional) is sufficient.
It looks like (nullable) could be used for everything according to the
Annotation documentation, but (optional) is more specific.
When debugging a program or testing a change to an installed version, it
is often useful to be able to replace resources in the program or a
library, without recompiling.
To support this, for debugging and hacking purposes, it's now possible
to define a G_RESOURCE_OVERLAYS environment variable as a
colon-separated list of substitutions to perform when looking up
GResources.
A substitution has the form
"/org/gtk/libgtk=/home/desrt/gtk-overlay"
The part before the '=' is the resource subpath for which the overlay
applies. The part after is a filesystem path which contains files and
subdirectories as you would like to be loaded as resources with the
equivalent names.
In the example above, if an application tried to load a resource with
the resource path '/org/gtk/libgtk/ui/gtkdialog.ui' then GResource would
check the filesystem path '/home/desrt/gtk-overlay/ui/gtkdialog.ui'. If
a file was found there, it would be used instead.
Substitutions must start with a slash, and must not have a trailing
slash before the '='. It is possible to overlay the location of a
single resource with an individual file.

Replace the hand-written equivalent of this with the call to the
GHashTable built-in version to save a few lines of code.
The GResource code was written a couple of years before this function
existed.
Similarly, replace a set-mode usage of g_hash_table_insert() with a call
to g_hash_table_add().

Resources are always little endian, so the gvdb is byteswapped. When looking
up the value, it would return a new byteswapped variant, making the data
returned from do_lookup() invalid once that variant is unref'd. Since
byteswapping doesn't matter for the "ay" data anyway, just use
gvdb_table_get_raw_value() instead and only byteswap the length and flag
values.

We need to do this because constructors run before main() and
thus before any call to g_mem_set_vtable, making it impossible to
use that function if constructors call g_malloc.
We do this by making the constructors just register the static data
for lazy registration, doing the lazy registration when using
the global resource set.
It's hardly useful to bloat the resource data with blanks intended only
for human readability, so add a preprocessing option that uses xmllint --noblanks
to strip these.
Bug #667929.
GResource is a bundle of files combined into a single binary blog.
The API lets you access the files the resource contains by
using resource paths. You can also register resources with a
global list and access these globally in a merged resource namespace.
The normal way this is used is to link in the resources into your
application/library and have it be automatically registred.
Resources are compiled from an xml description using
glib-compile-resources.
