This is a variant of `g_test_trap_subprocess()` which allows the
environment for the child process to be specified. This is quite useful
when you want to test code which reads environment variables, as it’s
not safe to set those after the start of `main()`.
This will be useful within and outwith GLib for testing such code.

Move it to a separate page, as there isn’t a `GIOScheduler` struct.
Ensure that all its functions/methods/types are correctly marked as
deprecated. Fix a few broken links about I/O priority which pointed to
it.

Adding it all to the docs for the `GDBusError` enum seemed a bit much,

The GIR files are now built by GLib itself, so they will be in the build
directories of each sub-library, except for GLib-2.0 which is built
alongside GObject-2.0.
On CHERI-enabled systems we use uintptr_t as the underlying storage for
GType and therefore casting to gsize strips the upper bits from a pointer.
Fix this by casting via uintptr_t instead and introduce a new set of
macros to convert between GType and pointers.
It needs to be in a separate page because there isn’t actually a
`GFileAttribute` type.

Gate the API reference on the availability of the introspection data as
well, so we don't accidentally try and generate the documentation
without a description of our API.
g_strv_builder_take() allows to transfer ownership of the passed in
string.
This can be useful to avoid additional allocations when using functions
that transfer ownership to the caller like g_strdup_printf().
The testcase uses g_strv_builder_take and g_strv_builder_add to demo
that calls can be mixed.
This copies the test code inline into the Markdown, which means it could
diverge from the test code which is compiled and run as part of the
tests. That needs improving, but that can happen in a subsequent commit.

As we start moving documentation over from gtk-doc to gi-docgen, the
gtk-doc coverage is going to go down and things are going to start
breaking. That’s OK; we don’t need to test it any more.

We can't easily use g_autofd with g_unix_open_pipe, because its
parameter is an array of two fds that both need closing. Add an inline

These functions can be used to initalize pointer-type variables rather
than a gsize. This is required to support CHERI-enabled platforms where
gsize cannot be used to store pointers. Follow-up changes will migrate
the uses of g_once_init that store pointers to the new API

The `GTK_USE_PORTAL` environment variable has started to be misused by
users, which is causing deployment issues (such as portal services
themselves ending up being forced to use portals, which is never going
to work).
Try and sidestep users’ broken configurations by renaming the
environment variable, and also separating it from the old GTK
environment variable, since the GLib one affects a lot more processes.
This environment variable is meant to be used for
debugging and development, and never in production.
GTK already renamed their environment variable in
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/merge_requests/4829, so keeping the
`GTK_USE_PORTAL` name in GLib doesn’t make sense anyway.

The introspection scanner cannot deal very well with function pointers
into a plain structure. In order to document the various function
pointers in GTypeValueTable we need to create typed callbacks, and
use them to replace the anonymous function pointers inside the
structure. This not only allows us to properly document the function
pointers, but it also allows us to annotate the arguments and return
value of those function pointers.
