Talk to the journal ourselves using sendmsg() instead of linking
against libsystemd for sd_journal_sendv(). At the same time, we
can also avoid excessive copying.
The motivation for dropping the dependency is that we can
then use structured logging e.g. in a flatpak sandbox where
libsystemd may not be present in the runtime.
The code here is inspired by similar code in libvirt.
Currently the docs for GChecksumType are simpy annotated
with 'Since 2.16' which is when GChecksumType was first
introduced. No mention is made of the fact that the
G_CHECKSUM_SHA512 constant was only added much later
in 2.36.

It turns out that the current approach of parsing g_log_structured
varargs is unworkable, because vprintf is not guaranteed to advance
the passed-in va_list. So, we have to reshuffle the argument list
a bit; I've come up with this approach:
g_log_structured (domain, level,
key-value pairs...
"MESSAGE", format,
printf arguments);
This requires a "MESSAGE" key to always be present, and it requires
the "MESSAGE"-format pair to be last, but it avoids an extra NULL
as marker after the key-value pairs. And it can be parsed with a
single pass over the va_list, without any va_copy.
Since we have G_LOG_USE_STRUCTURED, the separate ...structured()
convenience macros are pretty pointless, and I have dropped them
for now.
Look for a macro G_LOG_USE_STRUCTURED, and if it is defined, use
g_log_structured instead of g_log when defining g_warning and friends.
This avoids the extra complication of going through g_logv _and_
g_log_structured to get a message logged; it also lets us pass
the code-related fields.
We don't do this unconditionally (yet), since some users might
rely on the more fine-grained fatality support in g_logv. It has
also been proven problematic in the past to inject a dependency
on bleeding-edge API via a widely-used macro.

g_socket_listener_add_address() is synchronous; all of the events will
have been emitted before it returns and it doesn't queue any sources.
The test was unintentionally depending on the fact that
g_main_context_iterate(NULL, TRUE) would return anyway (at least the
first time it was called), but that's no longer true after e4ee307.

GCC fails to build because of the trailing arguments, not part of the
format:
../../glib/gmessages.c: In function 'g_log_default_handler':
../../glib/gmessages.c:2385:21: error: too many arguments for format
[-Werror=format-extra-args]
NULL);

The documentation for `__attribute__((format(...)))` in GCC
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Common-Function-Attributes.html#Common-Function-Attributes
States that the second index must be 0 for functions that are not
available to be checked, like for vprintf-style functions. In this case
it's also appropriate because of the trailing arguments.
The sd-journal API in systemd, upon which the structured logging API is
modelled, also uses 0 as the second argument for the format attribute.

It turns out that g_info_structured (format, ...) makes
g_info_structured ("Hey!") not work, since it requires at
least one argument after the format string. So shorten
the argument list to just ...
Replace the underlying write_string() call which is the ultimate result
of calling g_log() with a call to g_log_structured(). This means that
all g_log() calls will pass through the structured log handling code
path, as long as they are not already modified or dropped by the g_log()
code (fatal masks, aborts, etc.).
In the case that the default structured log writer is in use, this will
result in the same format of log output to stdout or stderr, as
previously happened. If a non-default writer is in use, it handles the
message as it sees fit.

If outputting to a terminal which supports coloured output (rather than,
for example, redirecting to a file). This is only enabled for structured
log messages, where colour output support can be tested. It is not
enabled for non-structured log messages.

In parallel with g_log(), add a new structured logging API, based around
g_log_structured() and various helper functions which are exposed
publicly to allow programs to build their own logging policies easily,
without having to rewrite a lot of gmessages.c because it’s all
internal.
See the expanded documentation at the top of gmessages.c for some
rationale. See the g_log_structured() documentation for some example
code.

glib-compile-resources --generate is supposed to automatically detect
whether to generate source code or header from the target's file extension.
However, this only worked for C; extend this to include the canonical
C++ filename extensions. Also make the check case insensitive.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=747134
Include the filename for the file in question in many of the
error messages in glocalfile.c. This is useful information when
diagnosing such errors, so make it easily available.

The recently-added GIO tools is intended to be built on all platforms, so
adjust the code a bit to enable this:
-Use gssize instead of ssize_t, as ssize_t is not supported by all
compilers.
-Include io.h on Windows, and define STDIN_FILENO and STDOUT_FILENO if
necessary on Windows.

Ensure that @key is non-%NULL on g_settings_reset().
It turns out that using g_settings_reset() with %NULL key (although
invalid as per the API documentation and not possible via bindings)
accidentally produces the same effect as the _reset_all() API that we
are about to add.
Add the standard precondition checks to prevent that from happening.

The macro could be used at initialization time to avoid having an
unitialized dict, especially with g_auto variables.
The macro tries to be a bit more type-safe by making sure that the asv
parameter is actually "GVariant *".
