Clarify in the documentation that the commandline arguments passed
around by GApplication (to local_command_line and returned via
g_application_command_line_get_arguments()) are in the GLib filename
encoding (ie: UTF-8) on Windows, not the system code page.
Fix the mismatch that would result from having argv passed to
g_application_run() in main() on Windows (where it is in the system
code page) by ignoring argc/argv on Windows and calling
g_win32_get_command_line() for ourselves. Document this.
This might be a slight API break on Windows: we documented that it was
possible to call g_application_run() with arguments other than argc/argv
and now doing that will result in those arguments being ignored. It has
always been recommended practice to only call g_application_run() from
main() directly, however, and all of our code examples have shown only
this. We will see if this causes any issues and consider reevaluating
the situation if so.

As it turns out, we have examples of internal functions called
type_name_get_private() in the wild (especially among older libraries),
so we need to use a name for the per-instance private data getter
function that hopefully won't conflict with anything.
This returns a GInputStream corresponding to the stdin on the
commandline that caused this invocation.
The local case works on both UNIX (GUnixInputStream on stdin) and
Windows (GWin32InputStream on GetStdHandle(STD_INPUT_HANDLE)). The
remote case works only on UNIX (by fd passing over D-Bus).

Add a pair of new APIs: one to GFile to create a new file from a
commandline arg relative to a given cwd and one to
GApplicationCommandLine to create a GFile from an arg, relative to the
cwd of the invoking commandline.

The extra newline chars in the local implementation of g_application_command_line_print and g_application_command_line_printerr() cause an unwanted newline after printed strings. This patch removes the newline chars to make the functions consistent with their documentation.

Clean up the docs for GApplication and related classes.
I'm no longer writing documentation for the structure type of classes
and interfaces. See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=665926
for discussin on the correct way forward on this point.
Also: stop putting gtk-doc comments in installed headers.
When using GOption to handle commandlines, we need to disable
the builtin help handling, since it calls exit(). Also mention
this particular pitfall in the docs.
Add support for passing the full contents of the environment to the
primary instance (by storing it in the platform_data) when
G_APPLICATION_SEND_ENVIRONMENT is in the flags.
