cea9de93c8 GApplication: add a "resource base path"
We don't use this for anything inside of GApplication yet, but Gtk is
about to start using it to find various bits of the application (such as
its menus, icons, etc.).

By default, we form the base path from the application ID to end up with
the familiar /org/example/app style.

b81c12fcab GApplication: Don't decrease use_count below 0
Place an assert for use_count to be at least 1
in g_application_release() so we don't decrease
it below 0.

4825e819b2 Fix build of gio/gapplication.c on Visual C++
Visual C++ is quite zealous about checking against the types used in the
initializing of array of structures, even up to Visual C++ 2013.  Fix this
by splitting up the initializing steps.

0e671286fc GApplication: parse command line options
Add support for parsing command line options with GApplication.

You can add GOptionGroup and GOptionEntry using two new APIs:
g_application_add_option_group() and
g_application_add_main_option_entries().

Also add a "handle-local-options" signal that allows handling of
commandline arguments in the local process without having to override
local_command_line.

As a special feature, you can have a %NULL @arg_data in a GOptionEntry
which will cause the argument to be stored in a GVariantDict.  This
dictionary is available for inspection and modification by the
"handle-local-options" signal and can be forwarded to the primary
instance in cases of command line invocation (where it can be fetched
using g_application_command_line_get_options()).

e5f91951a1 GApplication: change commandline encoding policy
Clarify in the documentation that the commandline arguments passed
around by GApplication (to local_command_line and returned via
g_application_command_line_get_arguments()) are in the GLib filename
encoding (ie: UTF-8) on Windows, not the system code page.

Fix the mismatch that would result from having argv passed to
g_application_run() in main() on Windows (where it is in the system
code page) by ignoring argc/argv on Windows and calling
g_win32_get_command_line() for ourselves.  Document this.

This might be a slight API break on Windows: we documented that it was
possible to call g_application_run() with arguments other than argc/argv
and now doing that will result in those arguments being ignored.  It has
always been recommended practice to only call g_application_run() from
main() directly, however, and all of our code examples have shown only
this.  We will see if this causes any issues and consider reevaluating
the situation if so.

d3017967d8 GApplication: allow handles_commandline and service
The default local_command_line handler has a fast return path for the
case that we handle the commandline by forwarding it to the primary
instance, but this doesn't account for the fact that we may want to
become a service.

Allow for this by making sure we don't take the fast path of the service
flag is set.

e8b7dd32fc GApplication: add --gapplication-service switch
Add a --gapplication-service switch to the default implementation of
local_command_line.  This name is unlikely to clash with any option used
by an existing application.

When a normal application (neither service nor launcher) is launched with
exactly this one argument, G_APPLICATION_IS_SERVICE will be set.

The idea is that people will write their D-Bus service file with
--gapplication-service on the Exec line.  This provides a nice
compromise for people who want the benefits of DBusActivatable
applications but without losing the ability to easily run them directly
(under the debugger or inside jhbuild, etc.)

54cc43630d Rename the generated private data getter function
As it turns out, we have examples of internal functions called
type_name_get_private() in the wild (especially among older libraries),
so we need to use a name for the per-instance private data getter
function that hopefully won't conflict with anything.

7baea0aee5 GApplication: set prgname to appid for services
Since services are based on D-Bus activation and desktop files are
supposed to be named like the busname for DBusActivatable applications
and since gnome-shell wants wmclass equal to the desktop file name, we
therefore want wmclass equal to the application ID in this case.

wmclass is determined from the prgname, which is otherwise pretty
pointless to set to some random thing in $(libexec) for a D-Bus service,
so set that to the appid.

This means that for D-Bus services, the following things are now all the
same:

 - application ID
 - prgname
 - wmclass property set on all windows
 - desktop file name
 - well-known bus name

There are not many applications running as D-Bus services at present so
this shouldn't impact anybody except for gnome-clocks (where this change
will be fixing a bug) and gnome-terminal.

db325cd6a3 application: introduce methods to mark the application as busy
This feature is intended for clients that want to signal a desktop shell
their busy state, for instance because a long-running operation is
pending.
The API works in a similar way to g_application_hold and
g_application_release: applications can call g_application_mark_busy()
to increase a counter that will keep the application marked as busy
until the counter reaches zero again.

The busy state is exported read-only on the org.gtk.Application interface
for clients to use.

5bbca5fa0c GApplication: document IS_SERVICE timeout properly
The documentation was suggesting that using G_APPLICATION_IS_SERVICE
would automatically set an inactivity timeout (ie: app stays around for
a while after the use count drops to zero).

In reality, it only adds an initial 10 second wait for the first
activation message to arrive after which it uses the normal inactivity
timeout mechanism.

4979c1d075 application: Add dbus register/unregister hooks
When the application is using its D-Bus backend, it is useful to be able
to export extra D-Bus objects at the right time, i.e. *before* the application
tries to own the bus name. This is accomplished here by adding a hook
in GApplicationClass for this; and a corresponding hook that will be called
on unregistration to undo whatever the register hook did.

Bug #675509.
