In Windows development environments that have it, <unistd.h> is mostly
just a wrapper around several other native headers (in particular,
<io.h>, which contains read(), close(), etc, and <process.h>, which
contains getpid()). But given that some Windows dev environments don't
have <unistd.h>, everything that uses those functions on Windows
already needed to include the correct Windows header as well, and so
there is never any point to including <unistd.h> on Windows.
Also, remove some <unistd.h> includes (and a few others) that were
unnecessary even on unix.

There are a number of nice things this class brings:
0) Has a race-free termination API on all platforms (on UNIX, calls to
kill() and waitpid() are coordinated as not to cause problems).
1) Operates in terms of G{Input,Output}Stream, not file descriptors
2) Standard GIO-style async API for wait() with cancellation
3) Makes some simple cases easy, like synchronously spawning a
process with an argument list
4) Makes hard cases possible, like asynchronously running a process
with stdout/stderr merged, output directly to a file path

Rather than using "extern" declarations of these win32 functions
everywhere they're needed, just prototype them in glib-private.h.
(Which also fixes the fact that they weren't prototyped in the files
where they're defined.)

Very many testcases, some GLib tools (resource compiler, etc) and
GApplication were calling g_type_init().
Remove those uses, as they are no longer required.

Many (if not "almost all") programs that spawn other programs via
g_spawn_sync() or the like simply want to check whether or not the
child exited successfully, but doing so requires use of
platform-specific functionality and there's actually a fair amount of
boilerplate involved.
This new API will help drain a *lot* of mostly duplicated code in
GNOME, from gnome-session to gdm. And we can see that some bits even
inside GLib were doing it wrong; for example checking the exit status
on Unix, but ignoring it on Windows.

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.
With this we're not longer exporting the constructor headers, which means
we're not tying ourselves to a macro that might need special tweaking on
a compiler-by-compiler basis.
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.

Initial underscores are used in c identifier to make them private,
for instance in Gtk+. However, we don't want to have this in the
resource section name, that just looks ugly.
