Previously, running `gdbus-codegen` with no arguments would exit
successfully with no output. While technically correct, that seems
unhelpful.
Require at least one interface file to be specified, so the user gets an
error message if they don’t specify any.

It’s not particularly useful to put the gdbus-codegen version or the
name of the input file into the output from `gdbus-codegen`, and it
makes the output less reproducible. Drop it.

This reverts commit 4aba03562b, preserving
the new tests but adjusting them to assert that the old behaviour is
restored.
As expected, there were a few projects which broke because of this.
Unfortunately, in one case the breakage crosses a project boundary:
sysprof ships D-Bus introspection XML, which is consumed by mutter and
passed through gdbus-codegen.
Since sysprof cannot add this annotation without breaking its existing
users, a warning is also not appropriate.

Previously, if a method was not annotated with org.gtk.GDBus.C.UnixFD
then the generated code would never contain GUnixFDList parameters, even
if the method has 'h' (file descriptor) parameters. However, in this
case, the generated code is essentially useless: the method cannot be
called or handled except in degenerate cases where the file descriptors
are missing or ignored.
Check the argument types for 'h', and if present, generate code as if
org.gtk.GDBus.C.UnixFD annotation were specified.
This change will break any existing code which refers to the (useless)
wrappers for such methods. The workaround for such code is to add the
org.gtk.GDBus.C.UnixFD annotation, which will cause the same generated
code to be emitted before and after this change.
If this is found to cause widespread problems, we can explore a
different approach (perhaps emitting a warning from the code generator,
or annotating the symbols as deprecated).

We're using the `install` argument for configure_file() all over the
place.
The support for an `install` argument for configure_file() was added in
Meson 0.50, but we haven't bumped the minimum version of Meson we
require, yet; which means we're getting compatibility warnings when
using recent versions of Meson, and undefined behaviour when using older
versions.
The configure_file() object defaults to `install: false`, unless an
install directory is used. This means that all instances of an `install`
argument with an explicit `true` or `false` value can be removed,
whereas all instances of `install` with a value determined from a
configuration option must be turned into an explicit conditional.
If using the --interface-info-{body,header} options to gdbus-codegen,
and the first interface to be outputted has no methods, but does have
properties or signals, an uninitialised variable would be used for the
property/signal ‘since’ values.
In other situations, the ‘since’ value for a prior method would have
been incorrectly used for the properties/signals.

This means the output (including lists of filenames) does not depend on
the order of the input files, which may matter if this tool is invoked
with a glob or some other mechanism that doesn't guarantee an order.
Previously, method and signal arguments were sorted by name, which
(assuming you don't happen to give your arguments
lexicographically-ordered names) means the generated signatures were
incorrect when there is more than 1 argument.
While sorting the methods and signals themselves (and properties, and
annotations on all these) is fine, it's easiest to not sort anything.

If a D-Bus interface was annotated with o.fd.DBus.Deprecated, then the
corresponding GObject property, in the common GInterface implemented
by the generated GDBusObjectProxies and GDBusObjectSkeletons, to
access the generated code for the D-Bus interface was not being marked
with G_PARAM_DEPRECATED, even though the gtk-doc snippet had the
'Deprecated: ' tag.
G_PARAM_DEPRECATED is older than gdbus-codegen, 2.26 and 2.30
respectively, hence it can be used unconditionally.

None of these files starts with a #! line, and they are not native
binary executables, so if a user attempts to execute them as a program,
Unix shells will run them as /bin/sh scripts. This is not going to end
well, since none of them are shell scripts (the gio bash completion
is for bash, which is not a lowest-common-denominator POSIX shell, and
in any case is designed to be sourced rather than executed).

The new python module, added with 0.46, works with Python 2 and 3 and
allows to pass a path for the interpreter to use, if the need arises.
Previously the meson build set PYTHON, used in the shebang line of
the scripts installed by glib, to the full path of the interpreter.
The new meson module doesn't expose that atm, but we should set it to
a executable name anyway, and not a full path.
Several of our tools are installed and are used by other projects to
generate code. However, there is no 'install' when projects use glib
as a subproject.
We need some way for glib to 'provide' these tools so that when some
project uses glib as a subproject, find_program('glib-mkenums') will
transparently return the glib-mkenums we just built.
Starting from Meson 0.46, this can be done with the
`meson.override_find_program()` function.
As a bonus, the Meson GNOME module will also use these
'overriden'/'provided' programs instead of looking for them in PATH.
PEP8 says that:
"Comparisons to singletons like None should always be done with is or
is not, never the equality operators."
glib uses a mix of "== None" and "is None". This patch changes all
cases to the latter.
Since it’s deprecated in favour of positional arguments, including it in
the help output is confusing.

These generate basic .c and .h files containing the GDBusInterfaceInfo
for a D-Bus introspection XML file, but no other code (no skeletons,
proxies, GObjects, etc.).
This is useful for projects who want to describe their D-Bus interfaces
using introspection XML, but who wish to implement the interfaces
manually (for various reasons, typically because the skeletons generated
by gdbus-codegen are too simplistic and limiting). Previously, these
projects would have had to write the GDBusInterfaceInfo manually, which
is painstaking and error-prone.
The new --interface-info-[body|header] options are very similar to
--[body|header], but mutually exclusive with them.

In cases where gdbus-codegen is used only for docbook generation,
the execution stops with the following error message:
`Using --header or --body requires --output`
This is because it was assumed that, in addition to the docbook
generation, the header or source code were always generated.
This patch fixes this, and the header or source code generation
is not mandatory, so the docbook can be generated separately.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=791015
gdbus-codegen's options only allow a simultaneous header and source
code generation.
A `--header` and `--body` options have been added along with the
`--output` option which allow separate C header and code
generation.
These options cannot be used in addition to the old options such
as `--generate-c-code`, `--generate-docbook` or
`--output-directory`.
These options have also been added to gdbus-codegen's documentation.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=791015
The `outdir` and `docbook` parameters are passed to the
`DocbookCodeGenerator` constructor, but these parameters are only
used at docbook generation, which is optional.
The parameters have been removed from the class creation and added
to the `generate` method, where they are actually being used.

The class that generated both C header and code has been split into
two classes. These clases are now specialized on creating the header
or the body code.
All parameters that do not belong to each class have also been
deleted, so only the necessary parameters still remain. These also
includes the header and code file descriptors, leaving only the
corresponding file descriptor necessary for each class.

The generation of the C header and code preambles have been split
in order to be able to generate both files separately in the future.
The functions for generating preambles and postambles have also been

rewrite, so that they stay consistent.

The optparse module is deprecated since version 2.7 and the
development continues with the argparse.
The code has been moved from optparse to argparse when parsing

`glib-genmarshal` and `glib-mkenums` use a `Color` class which
implements a number of print_* methods to print colored messages
