This copies the test code inline into the Markdown, which means it could
diverge from the test code which is compiled and run as part of the
tests. That needs improving, but that can happen in a subsequent commit.

As we start moving documentation over from gtk-doc to gi-docgen, the
gtk-doc coverage is going to go down and things are going to start
breaking. That’s OK; we don’t need to test it any more.

The files here are copied from the docs-gtk-org
branch of gtk.
This adds gi-docgen to the CI Dockerfiles and ensures the new versions
(including the OS upgrades from the previous commit) are used during CI.

We can't easily use g_autofd with g_unix_open_pipe, because its
parameter is an array of two fds that both need closing. Add an inline
convenience wrapper providing the obvious semantics.

I'm not aware of any platforms where this is a problem in practice, but
it's definitely nonportable and doesn't hurt to document it.
I wonder about CHERI....
These functions can be used to initalize pointer-type variables rather
than a gsize. This is required to support CHERI-enabled platforms where
gsize cannot be used to store pointers. Follow-up changes will migrate
the uses of g_once_init that store pointers to the new API

The `GTK_USE_PORTAL` environment variable has started to be misused by
users, which is causing deployment issues (such as portal services
themselves ending up being forced to use portals, which is never going
to work).
Try and sidestep users’ broken configurations by renaming the
environment variable, and also separating it from the old GTK
environment variable, since the GLib one affects a lot more processes.
This environment variable is meant to be used for
debugging and development, and never in production.
GTK already renamed their environment variable in
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/merge_requests/4829, so keeping the
`GTK_USE_PORTAL` name in GLib doesn’t make sense anyway.

Fixes: #3107
This reverts commit 252bbcd207.
After further discussion in !3511, we’ve decided that there are risks
associated with this change, and it’s not the best way of addressing the
original problem.
The original motivation for the change turned out to be that
`-mms-bitfields` was not handled by `windres`, which was receiving it
from `pkg-config --cflags glib-2.0` in some projects. However, if
`windres` is claiming to accept CFLAGS then it should accept (and
ignore) `-mms-bitfields`, since the `-m` family of options are defined
in `man gcc`, just like `-I`, `-D`, etc.
There is some question that there might still be third party projects
which are built with an old enough compiler that `-mms-bitfields` is not
the compiler default. For that reason, we should either still continue
to specify `-mms-bitfields` in the `.pc` file, or add a test to assert
that third party projects are always compiled with `-mms-bitfields` set.
But adding a new test for all third-party compilations is risky (if we
get it wrong, things will break; and it’s a test which may behave
differently on different platforms), so it seems safer to just keep
`-mms-bitfields` in `.pc` for now.
Once all compilers which we require specify `-mms-bitfields` by default,
we can finally drop this flag (without adding a test for third-party
compilations).
