We now send the fallback SCSV, meaning use of this function will cause
modern servers to immediately terminate the connection, so let's warn
API users to expect that behavior and be crystal clear that this
function should only be used as a fallback when a normal connection
attempt has already failed.
Also, the documentation is mostly duplicated between the property and
the function, so let's just reference the function documentation from
the property.
I originally planned to introduce a new property and functions to
replace these, with the same behavior but less-confusing names. But that
might not be the best approach in the long run. Instead, let's just
deprecate them without replacement.
TLS 1.2 intolerance is no longer a thing in the wild, and no known
GTlsBackend supports TLS 1.3 yet. But you might need to use this
property in the future, even though it's deprecated, if your
GTlsBackend has added support for TLS 1.3 and you need to talk to a
server that is TLS 1.3 intolerant.
Independently of all that, these APIs simply no longer do what their
names suggest, so deprecation is sensible regardless.

The property documentation correctly indicates how this code works
nowadays, but the function documentation is obsolete and misleading.
Update it.

If we have an input parameter (or return value) we need to use (nullable).
However, if it is an (inout) or (out) parameter, (optional) is sufficient.
It looks like (nullable) could be used for everything according to the
Annotation documentation, but (optional) is more specific.
Add support for copying session data between client connections.
This is needed for implementing FTP over SSL. Most servers use a separate
session for each control connection and enforce sharing of each control
connection's session between the related data connection.
Copying session data between two connections is needed for two reasons:
1) The data connection runs on a separate port and so has a different
server_identity which means it would not normally share the session with
the control connection using the session caching currently implemented.
2) It is typical to have multiple control connections, each of which
uses a different session with the same server_identity, so only one of
these sessions gets stored in the cache. If a data connection is opened,
(ignoring the port issue) it may try and reuse the wrong control
connection's session, and fail.
This operation is conceptually the same as OpenSSL's SSL_copy_session_id
operation.

If SSL 3.0 has been disabled (at the host, application, or library
level), then the "use-ssl3" property becomes a "fail-immediately"
property.
Despite the name, the point of the property wasn't really specifically
to use SSL 3.0; it was to allow fallback when talking to broken
servers that do SSL/TLS negotiation incorrectly and break when they
see unexpectedly-high version numbers. So if we can't fall back to SSL
3.0, then the "use-ssl3" property should fall back to TLS 1.0 instead
(since there are hosts that will reject a TLS 1.2 handshake, but
accept a TLS 1.0 one).
glib-networking is being updated to implement that behavior, so update
the documentation here.

To help cross compilation, don't use glib-genmarshal in our
build. This is easy now that we have g_cclosure_marshal_generic().
In gobject/, add gmarshal.[ch] to git (making the existing entry
points stubs).
In gio/, simply switch to using g_cclosure_marshal_generic().

This property is now a GList of GByteArray values. Each
GByteArray contains the raw DER DN of the certificate authority.
This is far more useful for looking up a certificate (with the
relevant issuer) than a string encoded DN.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=637262
Trying to do this as a signal won't work well with either
GTlsCertificateDB (in which case looking up a certificate in the db is
a blocking/asynchronous act) or session resumption support (in which
case the certificate or lack thereof is part of the session definition
and so needs to be known immediately). Make the caller use
g_tls_connection_set_certificate() ahead of time (or when retrying)
instead.
This adds an extension point for TLS connections to gio, with a
gnutls-based implementation in glib-networking.
Full TLS support is still a work in progress; the current API is
missing some features, and parts of it may still be changed before
2.28.
