This adds support for specifying multiple directories in the
GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR environment variable by separating the values
using G_SEARCHPATH_SEPARATOR_S (colon on UNIX-like systems).
While programs could already register multiple custom GSettings schema
directories, it was not possible to achieve the same without writing
custom code, e.g. when using the gsettings command line tool.
Fixes#1998.
The caller cannot assume that the lists returned by various GSettings
functions (for example, lists of keys or schemas) will be returned in
any particular order.

I was trying to debug some memory leaks in the gsettings test.
Eventually, it seems that actually they’re caused by the
GMemorySettingsBackend being cached by GIOModule — so this commit makes
no functional changes. It should make the code and documentation a bit
clearer though.

The documentation was unclear about what error codes would be returned
on attempting to open an empty or corrupt GVDB file. Previous versions
of the documentation incorrectly said that corrupt GVDB files were
considered equivalent to empty ones.
A recent commit has clarified the documentation to include its error
handling behaviour.
Update the two users of GVDB within GLib, GResource and GSettingsSource,
to follow this change, and add unit tests for them both.
Other users of the GVDB copylib will need to update their copy and make
appropriate changes if they have bugs in their handling of this
situation. dconf is one example of this. GVDB should be updated from

Recognise a new 'd' option in schema keys which gives a dictionary of
per-desktop default values. This dictionary is searched for the items
found in XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP, in the order. If nothing matches (or if
the option is missing) then the default value is used as before.
This feature was requested by Alberts Muktupāvels and this patch is
based on an approach devised by them.

gtk-doc doesn’t support them any more since it was ported to Markdown,
so they end up appearing in the generated documentation, which isn’t
great.
Mostly, they were used to split up things invisibly, which we can do in
other ways.

Where we were already treating GHashTables as sets, modify them to use
the set-specific APIs g_hash_table_add() and g_hash_table_contains(), to
make that usage more obvious and less prone to being broken.

g_build_filename() returns a gchar*, but it was stored in a const gchar*
and then g_free()d, which is wrong and led to a warning about the const
qualifier being cast away.
Add $XDG_DATA_HOME/glib-2.0/schemas as a schema source, after (higher
priority than) $XDG_DATA_DIRS/glib-2.0/schemas but before
$GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR. This is per the XDG Base Directory Specification,
which states that user specific versions of data in $XDG_DATA_DIRS can
be created in $XDG_DATA_HOME.

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.
currently schema_list will iterate over the default SchemaSource
list, and not the one associated with the passed in Schema. This
means schema_list can give incorrect results for a Schema fetched
from a non-default SchemaSource, like via new_from_directory.

The list of keys in a GSettings object depends entirely on the schema,
so it makes sense to expose this API there.
Move the implementation out of gsettings.c and into gsettingsschema.c,
replacing the earlier with a simple call to the new location.
We don't do the same for children because the children can change.

Most _list_schemas() uses were to check for the availability
of a particular schema. g_settings_schema_source_lookup() is
a better way to do this.

Add g_settings_schema_has_key() and _get_range(), _range_check(),
_get_value_type(), _get_default_value() methods on GSettingsSchemaKey.
Deprecate the equivalent APIs on GSettings.

Prevent a crash in the case that gvdb_table_list() returns NULL (ie:
because a schema has no keys).
Stop a memory leak caused by pointlessly stealing keys from a hashtable
(after we quarked them already).
Stop allocating an extra entry at the end of an array for a terminator
(that we never wrote anyway) when all functions using this API refer to
the out-parameter length array.

Support the 'extends' attribute that has been supported by the compiler
for a long time by doing three things:
- when creating a schema that extends another schema, lookup that other
schema
- when looking up keys and we can't find them in the schema, check
(recursively) in the 'extends' schema
- when listing all keys in a schema, also visit the extends schemas,
but take care to avoid duplicates caused by overrides
Extend the testsuite to verify that it works.

g_settings_list_schemas() and g_settings_list_relocatable_schemas() are
now deprecated.
This will allow listing off schemas on non-default sources and is a
better fit with the new direction the API is going.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=680838
Add an API to read the summary and description from the .xml schema
files.
This will be used by dconf-editor and gnome-tweak-tool.
This API is a bit heavy -- it parses the XML and builds a table. It
also loads gettext domains for translation. It only does these things
if it is used, however, so it will not impact normal applications.
We store the summary/description in a pair of hash tables on the schema
source (which we have a backref to as of a few commits ago). We can't
use a global table because people might want to request summary and
description from non-default sources. We don't want to use per-schema
tables because we'd have to reparse the directory every time (since we
cannot guess which file a schema may have been in).

Take this private API and make it public along with a boxed type and
ref/unref functions.
Future commits will add accessors with new functionality and some that
allow us to deprecate functions on GSettings itself (such as
g_settings_get_range).

The way we created the global schema list predates
g_settings_schema_source_new_from_directory() and therefore doesn't use
it.
Update it to use that function, removing some code.

Don't return children with invalid schemas from
g_settings_list_children() (ie: missing schemas or mismatched paths).
This prevents gsettings list-recursively from crashing when broken
schemas are installed on the system.
