Using the generic marshaller has drawbacks beyond performance. One such
drawback is that it breaks the stack unwinding from the Linux kernel due
to having unsufficient data to walk past ffi_call_unixt64. That means that
performance profiling by application developers looks grouped among
seemingly unrelated code paths.
While we can't fix the kernel unwinding here, we can provide proper
c_marshallers and va_marshallers for objects within Gio so that
performance profiling of applications is more reliable.

These have all been documented as deprecated for a long time, but we’ve
never had a way to programmatically mark them as deprecated. Do that
now.
This is based on the list of deprecations from the reverted commit
80fcb1bc2.

Fixes: #638
Allowing unsafe rehandshakes used to be required for web compatibility,
but this is no longer a concern in 2018. So there should no longer be
compatibility benefits to calling this function. All it does is make
your TLS connection insecure.
Also, rehandshaking no longer exists at all in TLS 1.3.
At some point (maybe soon!) glib-networking will begin ignoring the
rehandshake mode, so let's deprecate it now.
Let's entirely deprecate calling this function for rehandshaking. The
current documentation is OK, but guarantees defined behavior (to attempt
a rehandshake) when TLS 1.2 is in use. But there's no way to force TLS
1.2, and also no way to check which version of TLS is in use. I really
should have deprecated use of this function for rehandshaking entirely
last time I updated it.
Fortunately, there should be no compatibility risk for existing code,
because rehandshaking has no visible effects at the API level.
This will fix a few broken links in the documentation, and shut up a
load of gtk-doc warnings (but certainly not all of them).

It's unnecessary, and only adds visual noise; we have been fairly
inconsistent in the past, but the semi-colon-less version clearly
dominates in the code base.

If we have an input parameter (or return value) we need to use (nullable).
However, if it is an (inout) or (out) parameter, (optional) is sufficient.
It looks like (nullable) could be used for everything according to the
Annotation documentation, but (optional) is more specific.
Add a new GDtlsConnection interface, plus derived GDtlsClientConnection
and GDtlsServerConnection interfaces, for implementing Datagram TLS
support in glib-networking.
A GDtlsConnection is a GDatagramBased, so may be used as a normal
datagram socket, wrapping all datagrams from a base GDatagramBased in
DTLS segments.
Test cases are included in the implementation in glib-networking.
