Include unistd.h only on *NIX and define items as necessary on Windows,
also replace instances of ssize_t with the GLib-equivilant gssize so to fix
the build on platforms that do not have ssize_t, such as Visual C++.

Very many testcases, some GLib tools (resource compiler, etc) and
GApplication were calling g_type_init().
Remove those uses, as they are no longer required.

* Add resolver functions for looking up DNS records of
various types. Currently implemented: MX, TXT, SOA, SRV, NS
* Return records as GVariant tuples.
* Make the GSrvTarget lookups a wrapper over this new
functionality.
* Rework the resolver test so that it has support for
looking up MX, NS, SOA, TXT records, and uses GOptionContext

And remove the 'joinable' argument from g_thread_new() and
g_thread_new_full().
Change the wording in the docs. Clarify expectations for
(deprecated) g_thread_create().
In particular, remove the libasyncns import, which was only used by
GUnixResolver, which is only used when threads are not available.
Likewise remove GWin32Resolver, and the hacky broken non-threaded
parts of GIOScheduler.

Higher-level wrappers around GResolver. GSocketConnectable provides an
interface for synchronously or asynchronously iterating multiple
socket addresses, with GNetworkAddress and GNetworkService providing
interfaces based on hostname and SRV record resolution.
Part of #548466.
GResolver provides asynchronous (and synchronous-but-cancellable) APIs
for resolving hostnames, reverse-resolving IP addresses back to
hostnames, and resolving SRV records. Part of #548466.
