This will make it easier and more obvious for developers to run them
locally: I'm sure I'm not the only developer who had assumed that
`.gitlab-ci/` is private to the CI environment and inappropriate (or
perhaps even destructive) to run on a developer/user system.
The lint checks are automatically skipped (with TAP SKIP syntax) if we
are not in a git checkout, or if git or the lint tool is missing. They
can also be disabled explicitly with `meson test --no-suite=lint`,
which downstream distributions will probably want to do.
By default, most lint checks are reported as an "expected failure"
(with TAP TODO syntax) rather than a hard failure, because they do not
indicate a functional problem with GLib and there is a tendency for
lint tools to introduce additional checks or become more strict over
time. Developers can override this by configuring with `-Dwerror=true`
(which also makes compiler warnings into fatal errors), or by running
the test suite like `LINT_WARNINGS_ARE_ERRORS=1 meson test --suite=lint`.
One exception to this is tests/check-missing-install-tag.py, which is
checking a functionally significant feature of our build system, and
seems like it is unlikely to have false positives: if that one fails,
it is reported as a hard failure.
run-style-check-diff.sh and run-check-todos.sh are not currently given
this treatment, because they require search-common-ancestor.sh, which
uses Gitlab-CI-specific information to find out which commits are in-scope
for checking.

Modified by Philip Withnall to omit the subdirectory and drop the
`refcount` suite as both seem like unnecessary over-categorisation.
Related to issue #1434
Remove unused tests/timelooop.c and tests/timeloop-basic.c because
these programs are manual performance tests which are no more relevant
for glib. They were used for the writing of GMainLoop but since then
they haven't not much been used in 22 years, it is safe to remove them.
Helps issue #1434
We’re trying to eliminate the legacy `tests/` directory. This commit
moves the code from `tests/iochannel-test.c` into
`glib/tests/io-channel.c` and ports it to the latest GLib test coding
standards:
* Change `g_assert()` to `g_assert_*()`
* Print verbose messages with `g_test_message()`
* Rename some variables to conform to modern conventions
* Use `GTest`

Helps: #1434
Previously tests existed in two places,
`$top_srcdir/tests/sources.c` contained additional tests,
they have now been moved to `$top_srcdir/glib/tests/mainloop.c`
and `$top_srcdir/tests/sources.c` was deleted.

Previously tests existed in two places,
`$top_srcdir/tests/qsort-test.c` contained a similar test
to the one in `$top_srcdir/glib/tests/sort.c` called `test_sort_basic()`
The test for checking with zero elements was additional added to
`$top_srcdir/glib/tests/sort.c` and `$top_srcdir/tests/qsort-test.c`
was deleted.
