* glib/gutils.h: Wrapping atexit() is a bad idea on Windows, where
the EXE and each DLL have their own atexit function chains.
#define g_atexit as atexit instead. This means it has a
better chance of doing what the caller wants. For instance,
gtkhtml calls g_atexit() registering a function in gtkhtml
itself. This caused a crash when g_atexit() was implemented as a
function in the GLib DLL. The gtkhtml DLL was already unloaded by
the time the GLib DLL got unloaded.
* glib/gutils.c: #undef the #define mentioned above, to also get a
real g_atexit() into the DLL for backward compatibility. Document
the Windows behaviour of g_atexit(), and document the varying ways
atexit() can behave in the context of dynamically loaded modules
on Unix.

* gparam.c (g_param_spec_internal): Intern the name here,
since we need the quark anyway when sending change notification.

Improvements pointed out by Behdad Esfahbod (#314460):
* glib/tmpl/strings.sgml: Fix up some character/byte
sloppyness.
* glib/tmpl/iochannels.sgml: Don't mention deprecated
functions in the introduction.

Make also the g_spawn*() functions take parameters in the GLib
file name encoding, i.e. UTF-8, on Windows. Has no impact on Unix
API or ABI. Like the other GLib API that was earlier changed to
use UTF-8 on Windows, the names of the functions that take UTF-8
have _utf8 suffixes added by using preprocessor macros in the
header file. The old names are kept for functions with the old
behaviour, taking parameters in the system codepage, for DLL ABI
stability.
* glib/gspawn.h: On Win32 add the suffix _utf8 to the names of the
g_spawn*() functions.
* glib/gspawn-win32.c: Use wide-char API on NT-based
Windows. Convert parameters from UTF-8 to wide chars (NT) or
system codepage (Win9x) and call the C library _wspawn*() or
spawn*() functions respectvely. Add DLL ABI stability versions
that take parameters in the system codepage.
* glib/gspawn-win32-helper.c: On NT-based Windows use the
wide-char versions of argv and envp, and use wide-char API to
change directory and spawn the program to run. Remove the verbose
debugging output, it was too complex to modify for the wide-char
features. (Just add temporary debugging printouts if needed, no
need to have them permanently in the source.)
* glib/gspawn.c: Corresponding documentation updates.
* glib/glib.symbols: Corresponding changes: Mark the ABI stability
symbols as PRIVATE, add the new _utf8-suffixed ones.

* configure.in: Check for crt_externs.h and _NSGetEnviron.
* glib/gutils.c: On Darwin, include crt-externs.h and
define environ using _NSGetEnviron(). (#313731)

* glib/gutils.c (g_get_any_init): Move the body of the big if...
(g_get_any_init_do): ... to this new function.
(g_get_any_init): Declare as inline.
(g_get_any_init_locked): New inline function, does the locking.
Make use of these two throughout the code.
