This is a variant of g_file_get_path() which returns a const string to
the caller, rather than transferring ownership.
I've been carrying `gs_file_get_path_cached()` in libgsystem and it
has seen a lot of use in the ostree and flatpak codebases. There are
probably others too.
I think language bindings like Python/Gjs could also use this to avoid
an extra malloc (i.e. we could transparently replace
`g_file_get_path()` with `g_file_peek_path()`.
(Originally by Colin Walters. Tweaked by Philip Withnall to update to
2.56, change the function name and drop the locking.)

This adds g_file_load_bytes() to make it more convenient to
load the contents of a GFile as GBytes.
It includes a special casing for gresources to increase the
chances that the GBytes directly references the embedded data
instead of copying to the heap.

These did show up in the html. Since symbol names are checked for a
trailing plural s when generating the docs, the links stay functional
after removing these comments.

Add the GLIB_AVAILABLE_IN_ALL annotation to all old functions (that
haven't already been annotated with the GLIB_AVAILABLE_IN_* macros or a
deprecation macro).
If we discover in the future that we cannot use only one macro on
Windows, it will be an easy sed patch to fix that.

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.

This looks like it was stubbed out but not implemented; the vtable
entry dates to commit 3781343738 which
is just alex's initial merge of gio into glib.
I was working on some code that wants an asynchronous rm -rf
equivalent, and so yeah, this is desirable.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=680760
For details, see bug 587482. The new api:
- Provide new _with_operation() variants of all unmount and eject methods
- Add GMountOperation::show-processes signal
- this can be used to show processes blocking an unmount operation
- Deprecate all unmount and eject methods
- Add g_drive_can_start_degraded() method
- this is to avoid auto-starting degraded drives
- Make g_drive_stop() resp. g_file_stop_mountable() take a GMountOperation
- these ops were recently added and not yet public API so it's fine
to change how they work
- Provide a way to poll mountable files, e.g. g_file_poll_mountable()
- Add some missing file attributes for mountable files
- G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_MOUNTABLE_UNIX_DEVICE_FILE
- needed for the GDU Nautilus extensions to format a volume
- G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_MOUNTABLE_CAN_START_DEGRADED:
- mimics g_drive_can_start_degraded()
- G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_MOUNTABLE_CAN_POLL:
- mimics g_drive_can_poll_for_media()
- G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_MOUNTABLE_IS_MEDIA_CHECK_AUTOMATIC
- mimics g_drive_is_media_check_automatic()
GFile allows for the possibility that external implementations may not
support thread-default contexts yet, via
g_file_supports_thread_contexts(). GVolumeMonitor is not yet
thread-default-context aware.
Add a test program to verify that basic gio async ops work correctly
in non-default contexts.
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=579984
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.

* *.h: big header formatting cleanup: indentation, vtable
formatting, consistent spacing in (* vfunc), trailing whitespace
removal. Formatting should be pretty consistent in all GIO headers
now.

Bug 536252 – GFileEnumerator should allow access to the containing
GFile
* gio/gfileenumerator.c:
* gio/gfileenumerator.h:
* gio/gfile.h:
Add g_file_enumerator_get_container() and a container writeable
construct-only property. Also shuffle around typedefs to make it
compile.

* gio/glocalfileenumerator.h:
* gio/glocalfile.c:
Instead of a string filename take a GFile in the constructor and
use it to set the container property.

* gfile.[ch]:
* gio.symbols:
Add new g_file_has_prefix that does the same as g_file_contains_file.
Deprecate g_file_contains_file and add a macro that converts
it to g_file_has_prefix.
The reason for this change is that the contains_file() name seems to
imply that this does more work than what it does, but its really only
a name match (from #517086)
* gdummyfile.c:
* glocalfile.c:
* tests/g-file.c:
Update to match the above change.

* gfile.[ch]:
* gmount.[ch]:
* gvolume.[ch]:
Added GMountMountFlags enum and added a flags
argument to all mount calls.
This is an API/ABI change for future extensibility,
as I think we will need at least an
inhibit-autorun flag (the panel needs this).
There are no flags defined yet though.
