UAC will terminate this test program from running in 32-bit x86 builds as
it believes that it will alter Windows. In order to make this run, we
create a manifest file for 32-bit Windows builds in order to tell UAC
that this program should not need admin privileges.
This will allow the entire test suite for GLib to run on 32-bit Windows
builds.
This is copied from the GTK source tree to put into our builds so that
we can generate a manifest file to pacify UAC on Windows for 32-bit
builds, as UAC will kill any 32-bit processes that it believes will
be an installer or will alter the system in any ways.
This will be used to fix running the custom-dispatch test program on
32-bit Windows builds.
We were using emit_by_name which implies looking up for the signal name,
while the generated code can easily remember the signal ID and use it
instead, allowing direct access to the signal emission.
This documents the practices that I’ve been trying to follow for the
last few years for managing GLib issues and merge requests, and why they
seem to work well enough.

To match the current widespread usage.
We can’t automatically append a colon to the group description, as that
would interact badly with translation of the string.

Fixes: #3007
Using `allow_fallback: false` on the first check for libpcre
was unnecessary, as `required: false` already disables using
fallbacks. `allow_fallback: false` meant that
`--force-fallback-for` couldn’t work. This commit fixes that.
Also allow the fallback libpcre to be built statically so it
can be linked into GLib.
Helps: #3025
This was originally removed in !2734 but still appears to be required for
some MinGW setups, such as the `x86_64-w64-mingw32.static` target in
[mxe](https://github.com/mxe/mxe).
Currently, this configuration fails the libintl internal assert on line
2128, as on this platform `ngettext()` is only found inside libiconv.
This commit will look up iconv potentially twice, once as `libiconv` and
potentially once as `libintl_iconv`. This is what the code did before
!2734 landed, so it’s known to work reliably on a number of platforms.
Just in case anyone tries to look it up using `find_program()` in a
`meson.build` in GLib (or a project pulling GLib in as a subproject) in
future.

The code to test that `g_usleep(0)` returns immediately assumes that
`g_usleep(1)` always takes longer, but that’s not necessarily always the
case. Even if no sleeping happens, the function call for `g_usleep(0)`
could get descheduled and take longer than normal.
This results in occasional failures like this one:
```
GLib:ERROR:../glib/tests/timer.c:367:test_usleep_with_zero_wait: assertion failed (elapsed0 <= elapsed1): (0.000206 <= 0.000202)
```
(Source: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/jobs/2898468)
I can’t think of a suitable invariant comparison which can be done with
the timers, but running the comparison 10 times and allowing it to fail
once should work. A probabilistic test of `g_usleep(0)`.

Add to script the new functions added in
commit 2368187e and commit e5ee6e14 which are:
signal_emitv_unlocked()
signal_emit_valist_unlocked()
so that the "<emit signal 'blabla'>" line keeps
showing after them.
It’s almost a complete waste of time at the moment. For several reasons,
jobs flakily fail on it more often than they succeed. It’s wasting
resources, slowing down development and making people quite frustrated.

* https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/merge_requests/3462 and related
test failures
Nobody has stepped up to deal with the test or CI runner flakiness, or
generally maintain this CI runner. If someone does care about preventing
regressions for GLib on macOS, and can put time into making the CI
reliable, then this commit can be reverted.
