When the child process is going to exit on error after fork() but before
exec(), let's close the child_err_report_fd. The practical value of this
is to placate valgrind --track-fds=yes.
The new merge request link only works when logged in to a GitLab
account, unfortunately. Make that clear in the readme.

When we invoke a shell script directly, the system selects a bash binary
that might be different from the one detected by find_program('bash').
Explicitly use the one detected by Meson, matching the behavior of our
other test() invocations on shell scripts.

Fixes: d7601f7eed ("Incorporate some lint checks into `meson test`")
The test in `unix-mounts` to see whether `g_unix_mounts_get_from_file()`
can parse an example file was working fine when GLib is built with
libmount, but not when built without it (and hence typically using
`getmntent()`).
This is because libmount supports mountinfo files (like
`/proc/self/mountinfo`), but `getmntent()` only supports mount files
(like `/proc/mounts`). The test was written only with the former.
So, change the test to use mount files when GLib is built without
libmount support.

The build instructions for msys2 builds are stored outwith

We need to build a specific (recent) version of gobject-introspection so
we can get support for async annotations in `g-ir-scanner`. See !3746.

It’s unclear why there was a hole in this. Let’s keep things less
confusing by eliminating it.

The changes made in commit bc59e28bf6
(issue #3399) fixed introspection of the GThread API. However, they
introduced a trampoline in every threading function. So with those
changes applied, the disassembly of `g_mutex_lock()` (for example) was:
```
0x7ffff7f038b0 <g_mutex_lock> jmp 0x7ffff7f2f440 <g_mutex_lock_impl>
0x7ffff7f038b5 data16 cs nopw 0x0(%rax,%rax,1)
```
i.e. It jumps straight to the `_impl` function, even with an optimised
build. Since `g_mutex_lock()` (and various other GThread functions) are
frequently run hot paths, this additional `jmp` to a function which has
ended up in a different code page is a slowdown which we’d rather avoid.
So, this commit reworks things to define all the `_impl` functions as
`G_ALWAYS_INLINE static inline` (which typically expands to
`__attribute__((__always_inline__)) static inline`), and to move them
into the same compilation unit as `gthread.c` so that they can be
inlined without the need for link-time optimisation to be enabled.
It makes the code a little less readable, but not much worse than what
commit bc59e28bf6 already did. And perhaps
the addition of the `inline` decorations to all the `_impl` functions
will make it a bit clearer what their intended purpose is
(platform-specific implementations).
After applying this commit, the disassembly of `g_mutex_lock()`
successfully contains the inlining for me:
```
=> 0x00007ffff7f03d80 <+0>: xor %eax,%eax
0x00007ffff7f03d82 <+2>: mov $0x1,%edx
0x00007ffff7f03d87 <+7>: lock cmpxchg %edx,(%rdi)
0x00007ffff7f03d8b <+11>: jne 0x7ffff7f03d8e <g_mutex_lock+14>
0x00007ffff7f03d8d <+13>: ret
0x00007ffff7f03d8e <+14>: jmp 0x7ffff7f03610 <g_mutex_lock_slowpath>
```
I considered making a similar change to the other APIs touched in #3399
(GContentType, GAppInfo, GSpawn), but they are all much less performance
critical, so it’s probably not worth making their code more complex for
that sake.

As per https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/issues/3421#note_2206315:
It seems like there’s agreement that glib_debug should be enabled for
developers and disabled for distros; and it also seems like there’s no
reliable way to figure this out magically (because not everyone ties
things to `-Dbuildtype=*`). So, we’re left with forcing some group of
people to manually set the value of `glib_debug`. There are more
developers/contributors than there are distros, and distros are more
likely to notice an accidentally-slow GLib package than developers are
likely to notice an accidentally-not-asserting-hard-enough local build,
so let’s say:
The default should be `-Dglib_debug=enabled`, and distros should probably
all override that to `-Dglib_debug=disabled`.

This kind of deeply nested menu is definitely no longer good UI practice
for most apps (deeply nested menus make things hard to find, and require
good mouse control to navigate). However, it does serve as a good
demonstration of the concepts in `GMenuModel`, so keep it, with a
sentence to acknowledge that it’s not a good UI.

This reverts commit bb2ab2647d.
It appears to break the use of `G_MODULE_BIND_LOCAL`, as evidenced by
the `test_local_binding()` test in `module-test.c` failing on FreeBSD
ever since that test was added. See #3415.
Looking back at the merge request (!3656), I should have pressed for
detail on why this change was needed.

These tests are expected to cause a thread to deadlock. That seems to be
fine with glibc on Linux, but the glibc version on FreeBSD can detect
the deadlock, and aborts the whole test process with:
```
GLib (gthread-posix.c): Unexpected error from C library during 'pthread_mutex_lock': Resource deadlock avoided. Aborting.
```
This is fair enough.
To avoid this causing the test suite to fail, run those two tests in
subprocesses. This also means we’re not carrying a deadlocked thread
around for the rest of the test suite.
Improves on commit 62192925b6.
