Although returning NULL from constructor is strongly discouraged, some
old libraries need to keep doing it for ABI-compatibility reasons.
Given this, it's rude to forbid finalization from within
constructor(), since it would otherwise work correctly now anyway (and
the critical when returning NULL should discourage any new uses of
returning NULL from constructor()).

Windows needs a special inefficient hack to implement
g_socket_get_available() correctly for UDP sockets, but that hack
isn't needed for TCP, and in fact, might give the wrong answer in that
case. Fix it to only use the hack with UDP.
Also, fix that case to handle non-blocking sockets as well.
And add a test case for g_socket_get_available() with TCP.

Since we are no longer using sgml mode, using /* */ to
escape block comments inside examples does not work anymore.
Switch to using line comments with //
Our check for inotify_init1() being defined is broken. We happily
declare that inotify is supported, even if the check fails.
This was originally intended to check for inotify_init1 in the libc so
that we could fall back to inotify_init if it was not yet defined.
FreeBSD has a libinotify that emulates the inotify API via kqueue. It
installs a <sys/inotify.h> header and requires linking to -linotify. We
don't want to falsely detect working inotify in this case.
Treat the lack of inotify_init1() in the libc as a lack of inotify
support. This requires only a new libc -- we still support old kernels:
in the case that inotify1_init() fails, we fall back to inotify_init().

It’s not enough to close a connection by calling g_input_stream_close()
and g_output_stream_close() on its two substreams: to close the
underlying socket, one must use g_io_stream_close(). Document that.

If we used a non-positive pid, we'd call waitpid(that_pid, ...)
which is exactly the situation this function can't deal with.
On Windows, GPid is a HANDLE (pointer), so I don't think the same thing
applies.

In particular, it is not incorrect to g_return_if_fail (..., FALSE)
in a function returning a "success" gboolean and a GError: "failure to
meet the preconditions is an error" takes precedence over the
GError documentation's guarantee that the error will be set on failure.

Since all element markup is now gone from the doc comments,
we can turn off the gtk-doc sgml mode, which means that from
now on, docbook markup is no longer allowed in doc comments.
To make this possible, we have to replace all remaining
entities in doc comments by their replacement text, & -> &
and so on.
