If the $HOME environment variable is set, prefer that to the entry in
/etc/passwd.
This brings us in line with almost every other utility and library on
UNIX-like systems while avoiding some of the more complicated
possibilities that have been suggested.
This incompatible change has been petitioned for quite some time by
many, and in particular from the Debian world, which carries a patch
that adds a new G_HOME environment variable with the same meaning as
this patch now assigns to HOME.
The primary motivation for the change was to increase the testability of
GLib-based programs from 'make check' types of frameworks: it is now
possible to set HOME to a temp directory to avoid the testsuite
modifying the user's real home directory.
The change also brings us increased compliance with the XDG Base
Directory Specification. The specification specifically states that the
default values should be computed based on the HOME environment
variable, whereas we were basing them on the value from /etc/passwd.
The change was agreed to by all in attendence at the November 29 Gtk+
developer meeting.

The G_OBJECT_WARN_INVALID_PROPERTY_ID() macro uses a local variable
named "_object"; work around this by using "object" as the variable we
pass in.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=689377
At least GDBus had code that had "_object" as a parameter to one of
its functions, but this clashes with the GObject macro
G_OBJECT_WARN_INVALID_PROPERTY_ID() which created a local "_object".
Since many of us cargo cult around copies of objects, let's be
defensive here and use local variable names less likely to clash with
application code.

When running a test program (ie, if g_test_init() has been called),
don't pop up a dialog box when a fatal error occurs. Just print the
message to stderr and exit.

This makes sure not to ifdef _g_io_win32_get_module() out when glib is
built as a static lib, and also fixes it to work when DllMain isn't
available.
The implementation uses GetModuleHandleEx() which is only available on
Windows XP and later, so this commit effectively drops the Windows 2000
support in glib. Earlier commit 731b4699 already took care of defining
_WIN32_WINNT to support the Windows XP API.

Now that we're directly accessing the memory holding a message blob,
we can access strings directly while reading them. This speeds up
read_string significantly, since we no longer malloc/memcpy/free.
The three processes this test creates need to be executed
in order, and g_usleep was used to guarantee that.
However, under heavy load, that is not enough. Instead,
wait until the children start by making sure they have
written to stdout before proceeding any further.

GData*Streams incur significant overhead, and we do not need all of the
functionality that they provide, since we only ever read from/write to
memory when handling message blobs, so it is more performant to use a
simple structure.

... and g_content_type_get_generic_icon_name(). The new functions are
implemented for Win32 since commit dace477c, so we no longer need to
guard them with G_OS_UNIX.
Just like g_timeout_add() and friends, we want to hide the unintrospectable
g_unix_signal_add() from GI bindings and present g_unix_signal_add_full() as
GLib.unix_signal_add() to them.
Really, the memory output stream API is too warped around the model
where it's a fixed size buffer that you've already allocated. Even in
C, I find myself always wanting to use it to just accumulate data into
an arbitrary-sized buffer it allocates.
Unfortunately, it's also not usable from bindings because it's not
common to bind g_free() and g_realloc(), but if you just pass NULL, you
get the default of a fixed size, which is useless as per above.
I am going to use this from a gjs test case, and the GSubprocess test
cases also will use it.

Add a pair of new APIs: one to GFile to create a new file from a
commandline arg relative to a given cwd and one to
GApplicationCommandLine to create a GFile from an arg, relative to the
cwd of the invoking commandline.

The gobject tools (glib-genmarshal and gobject-query) were linking
against libgthread. Stop that.
Also, remove the gthread_INCLUDES internal automake substitution.
Add aliases for codesets supported by iconv and included in locales.
Ifdef-out tests in glib/tests/gdatetime.c which fail because on OSX only
ASCII numbers or symbols are returned for the format.
Even though nl_langinfo does weird things on Darwin in some cases, it
still acts correctly when LANG/LC_ALL is set to a supported
locale.codeset.
If we fail to start (and don't register() or call startup()) then also
don't call shutdown(). This happens in the case of failing to parse
commandline arguments, for example.
Using "int main (int argc, char** argv)" in this test causes GCC to
issue two warnings about unused variable if CFLAGS envvar has
-Wunused-parameter (or just -Wextra). Those warnings are not related
to the attribute checking but they can make the test fail anyway.
gnome-session needs to know the startup id that was given to
a started app; this was not available via GAppLaunchContext.
This commit adds a ::launched signal to get this information.
At the same time, turn the launch_failed vfunc into a signal
as well.
