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

for more details. Also add test cases for this.
