This is copied from the GTK source tree to put into our builds so that
we can generate a manifest file to pacify UAC on Windows for 32-bit
builds, as UAC will kill any 32-bit processes that it believes will
be an installer or will alter the system in any ways.
This will be used to fix running the custom-dispatch test program on
32-bit Windows builds.
Various projects are running tests under valgrind, and they are using
the GLib suppresions to avoid false-positive results.
While this is stored in a well-known path for some years, and easy to
figure out from the GLib prefix, it's better to expose it through a
proper pkgconfig variable so that it's easy to get it from any build
system.
There is currently no `dllimport` attribute on any of our function,
which prevents MSVC to optimize function calls.
To fix that issue, we need to redeclare all our visibility macros for
each of our libraries, because when compiling e.g. GIO code, we need
dllimport in GLIB headers and dllexport in GIO headers. That means they
cannot use the same GLIB_AVAILABLE_* macro.
Since that's a lot of boilerplate to copy/paste after each version bump,
this MR generate all those macros using a python script.
Also simplify the meson side by using `gnu_symbol_visibility : 'hidden'`
keyword argument instead of passing the cflag manually.
This leaves only API index to add manually into glib-docs.xml when
bumping GLib version. That file cannot be generated because Meson does
not allow passing a buit file to gnome.gtkdoc()'s main_xml kwarg
unfortunately.
Those tools are not needed at runtime for typical applications,
distributions typically package them separately.
This makes `meson install --tag runtime` skip installation of those
tools. Omitting `--tag` argument will still install them, as well as
with `--tag bin,bin-devel`.
