exit-on-close for a DBus connection is a completely normal thing. On
a regular GNOME login, gdm retains the X server, but terminates the
session login bus and associated helpers like gnome-settings-dameon,
the a11y tools, etc.
I've seen several downstream reports of confusion as to what these
apparent error messages mean in the system log. It doesn't help
that they're so obtuse.
We're also printing them to stderr, when this is not an error.
The reason this was introduced is presumably some people were confused
as to why their process exited when the system bus did. But the
solution for that I believe is documentation, not printing stuff to
everyone's system log in normal operation.

The previous commit introduced a possible memory leak in cases
where we get a G_IO_ERROR_CLOSED error. Make sure to always
free an error, if we got one.

There are real world cases where emitting signals can fail, such
as if the DBus connection closes. Asserting and aborting the process
in these cases is just plain lazy.
Ignore the errors when the connection is closed, and turn the
others into warnings.

The memory vtables no longer work, because glib contructors are called
before main(), so there is no way to set it them before use. This stops using
the vtable at all, and deprecates and stubs out the related functions.

Add a property to GNetworkMonitor indicating if the network
is metered, e.g. subject to limitations set by service providers.
The default value is FALSE

A signal accumulator can return TRUE to continue signal emission, and
FALSE to stop signal emission. handle-local-options callbacks can return
« return a non-negative option if you have handled your options and
want to exit the process ».
Currently, g_application_handle_local_options_accumulator (the
accumulator for the handle-local-options signal) returns TRUE on
non-negative return value (ie continue signal emission), and returns
FALSE on negative return values (ie when the default option processing
should continue).
This return value seems backward as on >= 0 values, subsequent
handle-local-options callbacks could overwrite the 'exit request' from
the handler, while on < 0 values, the handle-local-options processing
could end up early if several callbacks are listening for this signal.
In particular, the default handler for this signal
(g_application_real_handle_local_options) always returns -1 and will
overwrite >= 0 return values from other handlers.
This commit inverts the check so that signal emission stops early when
one of the handle-local-options callbacks indicates it wants processing
to stop and the process to exit.

Merge the parts that has things to do with stdint.h and inttypes.h with
the !_MSC_VER portions, and add initial support for Visual Studio 2015,
which added support for C99 snprintf() and vsnprintf().
Not too sure about the !_MSC_VER for C99 snprintf() and vsnprintf(), but
since this file is mainly for Visual Studio builds, anyways...
We already have start, stop and is_active methods, but turning it
into a real property is useful for a few reasons:
- it allows us to bind the property to an UI or a setting
- it allows us to get notified when the state changes
- it allows us to instantiate objects directly in the stopped state

Also add g_app_info_get_fallback_for_type() and
g_app_info_get_recommended_for_type() as proxies for
g_app_info_get_all_for_type(), until gcontenttype support is improved.
This code was out of date with current coding practices.
Nowadays it's common to receive file descriptors over environment
variables from other processes like systemd. The unit files that
control these file descriptors are configurable by sysadmins.
It is not (necessarily) a programmer error when g_socket_details_from_fd()
is called with a file descriptor that is not a socket. It can also
be a system and/or configuration error.
