This commit represents an API break to GAction in the following ways:
- the 'set_state' entry in the GActionInterface vtable has been
renamed to 'change_state'. The number and order of vtable items has
not otherwise changed.
- g_action_set_state() has been renamed to g_action_change_state() to
match the updated vtable entry.
- the "state" property of the GAction interface has been changed to
read-only to reflect the fact that g_action_set_state() no longer
exists.
- GSimpleActionClass has been hidden. GSimpleAction can no longer be
subclassed.
>> Rationale
g_action_set_state() has never been a true setter in the sense that
calling it will update the value of the "state" property. It has always
been closer to "request 'state' to be changed to this value" with
semantics defined by the implementor of the interface. This is why the
equivalent method in GActionGroup had its name changed from 'set' to
'change'. This change makes the two interfaces more consistent and
removes any implication about the effect that calling set_state() should
have on the 'state' property.
>> Impact
This incompatible API break was undertaken only because I strongly
suspect that it will go entirely unnoticed. If the break actually
affects anybody, then we will accommodate them (possibly going as far as
to revert this commit entirely).
The virtual table change only impacts implementors of GAction. I
strongly suspect that this is nobody (except for GSimpleAction).
The hiding of GSimpleActionClass only impacts impacts subclasses of
GSimpleAction. I strongly suspect that none of these exist.
The changing of the property to be read-only only affects people who
were trying to change the state by using GObject properties. I strongly
suspect that this is nobody at all.
The removal of the g_action_set_state() call is the most dangerous, but
I still suspect that it will impact nobody outside of GLib. If anybody
is impacted by this change then, at their request, I will reintroduce
the API as a deprecated alias for g_action_change_state().
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().

... otherwise we might end up using the worker after it has been
freed. Reported by Dan Winship and Colin Walters.
This fix uncovered a bug in the /gdbus/nonce-tcp test case so "fix"
that as well to use a better way of having one thread wait for another
(using quotes for the word "fix" since it's pretty hackish to
busy-wait in one thread to wait for another).

These will validate the resulting line, and throw a conversion error.
In practice these will likely be used by bindings, but it's good
for even C apps too that don't want to explode if that text file
they're reading into Pango actually has invalid UTF-8.

g_data_input_stream_read_line() and
g_data_input_stream_read_line_finish() don't do any encoding checks,
so we shouldn't call the returned value a "string" (which I'd like to
mean UTF-8). Annotate them as byte arrays and add encoding warnings
to the docstrings.

Matthew Bucknall pointed out
GDBusMessage does not serialize/deserialize double values correctly
on platforms with strict alignment constraints (in my particular
case, ARM926EJ-S).

Rather than having the gtk-doc build machinery have a list of header
files to exclude, change the GLib build to dump a list of public
header files generated from the maintained Makefile.am files for
each of glib/, gobject/, gio/.
Also, for glib, always install glib-unix.h, even on non-Unix
platforms, for the same reason we install gwin32.h even on Unix.

See https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37890#c6 where it was
discovered that dbus-send(1) actually doesn't work (either libdbus-1's
flush implementation or dbus-send(1)'s usage of it is broken) so it's
useful to have here.
