* Represents an immutable reference counted block of memory.
* This is basically the internal glib GBuffer structure exposed,
renamed, and with some additional capabilities.
* The GBytes name comes from python3's immutable 'bytes' type
* GBytes can be safely used as keys in hash tables, and have
functions for doing so: g_bytes_hash, g_bytes_equal
* GByteArray is a mutable form of GBytes, and vice versa. There
are functions for converting from one to the other efficiently:
g_bytes_unref_to_array() and g_byte_array_free_to_bytes()
* Adds g_byte_array_new_take() to support above functions

At Tracker we want to mmap files using O_NOATIME. With GMappedFile this is at
the moment impossible. For that reason I added the constructor new_from_fd to
the GMappedFile type.

* glib/glib.h: #define __GLIB_H_INSIDE__ around including
everything.
* glib/*.h: check for that define instead of __G_LIB_H__ if
G_DISABLE_SINGLE_INCLUDES is defined.
* glib/gdatasetprivate.h: #include <glib.h> instead of
<glib/gdataset.h>

* glib/*.h: make it possible to disable single-file includes by
defining G_DISABLE_SINGLE_INCLUDES when building against GLib.
Approved by Tim Janik.
* glib/glib.h: include <glib/gslice.h>.
* glib/gi18n.h
* glib/gi18n-lib.h
* glib/gprintf.h: include <glib.h> so the above works when these
files are included without including <glib.h> first.
