Currently, to implement cancellability correctly, all synchronous
calls to GSocket must be preceded by a g_socket_condition_wait() call,
(even though GSocket does this internally as well) and all
asynchronous calls must do occasional manual
g_cancellable_is_cancelled() checks. Since it's trivial to do these
checks inside GSocket instead, and we don't particularly want to
encourage people to use the APIs non-cancellably, move the
cancellation support into GSocket and simplify the existing callers.

This patch and the previous ones fixes the performance issues noted in
Bug 587089 – lookup_attribute() takes too much CPU
It increases performance for querying attributes by ~15% in my tests.
'-h' is the preferred short version of '--help' now and displayed
in '--help' but for backwards compatibility '-?' is still supported.
If existing code uses '-h' for something else, GOptionContext will
not override it.
Fixes bug 556706.
g_filename_complete_get_completions() return value is meant to be a
g_strfreev-compatible array i.e. NULL-terminated. However, pointer arrays
aren't automagically NULL-terminated. This fixes bug 586868
I'm not sure why we used the elaborate formula to convert the io-priority
to the priority of the mainloop idle when emulating async i/o with idles.
However, it causes the default io priority to be less than the normal
idle prio, so the i/o won't be scheduled if there is an idle outstanding.
There is really no great mapping to use here, doing blocking i/o in an
idle of any prio is generally bad and apps doing a lot of async i/o should
initialize threads. However, if we use the io-priority directly we at least
avoid the starvation problem above and make things easier to understand.
Add API for starting/stopping drives. This new API will enable
GVolumeMonitor and GVfs implementations to add support for the
following features
1. Powering down external hard disk enclosures / drives
2. Starting/stopping multi-disk devices (such as RAID/btrfs/ZFS)
3. Connecting/disconnecting iSCSI devices
4. Reacting to the user pressing e.g. the "remove drive" button on
a IBM/Lenovo Ultrabay: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Ultrabay
See the bug for the corresponding GVfs and Nautilus changes.
The icon names are folder-documents, folder-download, folder-music,
folder-pictures, folder-publicshare, folder-templates, folder-videos.
See bug 541276.
