There are some bugs caused by the way that gsettings-tool currently
attempts to help the user when they leave the quotes off of a string
value that they are setting.
Simplify the code to make it more robust and add some comments about why
it should be done this way.

For example, if setting a property on a skeleton from another thread
than where it was constructed, the idle handler responsible for
emitting the PropertiesChanged() signal could run immediately and
clear skeleton->priv->changed_properties_idle_source causing
g_source_unref() to be called with a NULL pointer. This race was
easily be fixed by adding a lock to the skeleton object.
In addition to fixing this race, also move the code for setting up the
idle handler to a class handler for the GObject::notify signal. This
change allows use of g_object_freeze_notify() and g_object_thaw_notify()
to perform atomic property changes from another thread than the one
that the skeleton was created in.

Don't drop resets from a GDelayedSettingsBackend when the writability
changes. Resets will always succeed, even against non-writable keys and
some people (gnome-screensaver) are using them in a way that they would
want them not to be forgotten.
This can easily happen if the owner of the remote object vanishes. Of
course, when that happens, user code is already notified (by e.g. the
notify::g-name-owner signal) so it can avoid using the proxy but
requiring that is a bit harsh. IOW, before this patch this critical
error was printed
GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_dbus_gvariant_to_gvalue: assertion `value != NULL' failed
when that happened. With this patch, we just avoid setting the GValue
so the user will get the default value for its type instead. So, for
example, if the user code is getting a GVariant property on such a
defunct proxy, then he gets a NULL back. So unless said user code
checks the return value, criticals will still be printed if the NULL
GVariant is used for anything interesting.

The code generator sprinkles a few asserts in its output of the form:
g_assert (prop_id - 1 >= 0 && prop_id - 1 < %d);\n
prop_id is unsigned, though, so this generates a compiler warning for
me.
This commit changes the code to merely check for prop_id != 0 instead of
prop_id - 1 >= 0
.. and add a C setter to do this. Also make the C getter return a
reference since the property may be set from another thread. Also
change the constructor to _not_ take a GDBusConnection since this is
something you almost always want to do _after_ creating it. The
API/ABI break is fine as there has never been a GLib release with this
type.

_GNU_SOURCE must be defined before including any other (system)
header, so defining it in glib-unix.h (and hoping no one has included
anything else before that) is wrong. And the "#define _USE_GNU"
workaround for this problem in gnetworkingprivate.h is even wronger
(and still prone to failure anyway due to single-include guards).
Fix this by defining _GNU_SOURCE in config.h when building against
glibc. In theory this is bad because new releases of glibc may include
symbols that conflict with glib symbols, which could then cause
compile failures. However, most people only see new releases of glibc
when they upgrade their distro, at which point they also generally get
new releases of gcc, which have new warnings/errors to clean up
anyway.

GDesktopAppInfo violates the GObject rule that your C constructors
should just be thin wrappers around g_object_new(). While GKeyFile
isn't introspctable, this patch allows from JavaScript:
var app = new Gio.DesktopAppInfo({ filename: '/path/to/foo.desktop' });

When an old pre-thread-default-context API that takes an explicit
GMainContext wants to call a gio API, it must call
g_main_context_push_thread_default() before, and
g_main_context_pop_thread_default() after the gio call, so that the
gio method will return its result to the desired GMainContext.
But this fails for methods like g_socket_client_connect_async() that
make a chain of multiple async calls, since the pushed/popped context
will only affect the initial call.
Fix this by having GSimpleAsyncResult itself push/pop the context
around the callback invocation, so that if the callback queues another
async request, it will stay in the same context as the original one.

Specific changes
- Use get_type(), not get_gtype() for the GType function
- so we need to use the lower-case name type_ for properties called type
- Don't return a function pointer, just make the function returned
available instead
- Add (type) annotations in constructors so g-ir-scanner detects them as such
- Add (transfer none) annotations to property getters
- Add (out) annotations to D-Bus method call functions

A fairly typical pattern is to have code that does
foo_set_bar (object, "");
if (some_condition)
{
foo_set_bar (object, "yes");
}
where some_condition is often true every time @object is updated.
With this code, bar is essentially always "yes" but because of how
gdbus-codegen works, useless PropertiesChanged events got scheduled
and sent out. With this patch, we avoid that by always keeping the
original value around and comparing it only when we deem it's time to
send out the ::PropertiesChanged signal (typically in an idle but can
be forced by the user via flush()).
Also add a test case for this.

Older versions of libdbus would let you construct an invalid
DBusMessage, but that's a bug, which will be fixed in 1.4.8/1.5.0.

If g_bus_get_sync() fails in authentication (because e.g. the process
uid, doesn't match the expected in EXTERNAL), a secondary call to
g_bus_get_sync() would notice we aren't initialized, and try
to initialize.
The assertion here is just wrong; we now explicitly and clearly handle
both cases where we already have an error, or we already succeeded.

Call g_settings_sync() just before g_applcation_run() returns. This is
really the correct thing to do in every case that you're using GSettings
and it prevents every single application from having to do it for
themselves.
Closes bug #647419.
If GSettings is uninitialised then g_settings_sync() should very
obviously just return right away (rather than attempting to initialise
GSettings first).
Add a flag to essentially short-circuit g_application_register(). The
application makes no attempt to acquire the bus name or check for
existing instances with that name. The application is never considered
as being 'remote' and all requests are handled locally.
Closes#646985.

When using GOption to handle commandlines, we need to disable
the builtin help handling, since it calls exit(). Also mention
this particular pitfall in the docs.
For child schemas, verify that the named schema actually exists and
issue a warning if not. This error in schema files will cause runtime
errors when iterating over the list of child schemas and attempting to
instantiate each one.
This will move from being merely a warning to a hard error in the
future.

g_tls_certificate_list_new_from_file() was leaking the file contents,
and GSource was leaking the GSourcePrivate structure that got
created when using child sources.
Without getting into a debate about the reasons why you may or may not
want to use unsigned integers, it's sufficient to note that people have
been using them and requesting this functionality.
