This can easily happen if the owner of the remote object vanishes. Of
course, when that happens, user code is already notified (by e.g. the
notify::g-name-owner signal) so it can avoid using the proxy but
requiring that is a bit harsh. IOW, before this patch this critical
error was printed
GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_dbus_gvariant_to_gvalue: assertion `value != NULL' failed
when that happened. With this patch, we just avoid setting the GValue
so the user will get the default value for its type instead. So, for
example, if the user code is getting a GVariant property on such a
defunct proxy, then he gets a NULL back. So unless said user code
checks the return value, criticals will still be printed if the NULL
GVariant is used for anything interesting.

The code generator sprinkles a few asserts in its output of the form:
g_assert (prop_id - 1 >= 0 && prop_id - 1 < %d);\n
prop_id is unsigned, though, so this generates a compiler warning for
me.
This commit changes the code to merely check for prop_id != 0 instead of
prop_id - 1 >= 0
This is nice to have if using gtk-doc on the generated code. We could
also generate -sections.txt and .types files but we don't do that
right now...

Specific changes
- Use get_type(), not get_gtype() for the GType function
- so we need to use the lower-case name type_ for properties called type
- Don't return a function pointer, just make the function returned
available instead
- Add (type) annotations in constructors so g-ir-scanner detects them as such
- Add (transfer none) annotations to property getters
- Add (out) annotations to D-Bus method call functions

It's not that it's actually a bug to do so per se, strictly speaking,
it's just pointless and wasteful.

A fairly typical pattern is to have code that does
foo_set_bar (object, "");
if (some_condition)
{
foo_set_bar (object, "yes");
}
where some_condition is often true every time @object is updated.
With this code, bar is essentially always "yes" but because of how
gdbus-codegen works, useless PropertiesChanged events got scheduled
and sent out. With this patch, we avoid that by always keeping the
original value around and comparing it only when we deem it's time to
send out the ::PropertiesChanged signal (typically in an idle but can
be forced by the user via flush()).
Also add a test case for this.

And use this for a) documentation purposes; and b) to preserve C ABI
when an interface is extended. See
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=647577#c5
for more details. Also add test cases for this.
