We're using Meson for GLib itself, and we recommend people to use it
for their own projects, so it would be good to have our documentation
present examples on how to use Meson with our tools.

Let's move the template example into its own section while we're at it,
since it's referenced by both Meson and Autotools examples.

This has the side effect of always rebuilding the doc at each build when
gtk_doc option is enabled (not by default). Most importantly, this will
enable doc check on our CI.
There is (at most) a single GType that is instantiable and a
prerequisite for an interface. This function returns that type.
This type is necessary in particular when dealing with GValues because a
GValue contains an instance of a type.
Add the private members referred to in the property setting/getting
example, and a finalize function for them, to make the tutorial code
more self-contained.

The class has used `G_DECLARE_FINAL_TYPE` for a while now, so doesn’t
have a `priv` struct. Private members are declared inline.

This means that if you compile with `-Wswitch-enum`, the compiler will
warn you about properties which you’ve forgotten to handle in
`set_property()` or `get_property()`.

It allows to disconnect a signal handler from GObject instance and at the same
time to nullify the signal handler.
Provided also a macro for handler type conversion.
Some of these have a negative master/slave connotation, and they add no
value. Change or drop them.

Those lists were getting very long. We can’t quite entirely automate the
list generation since Meson doesn’t have a range() function, but we can
at least combine three of them into one.

So long, and thanks for everything. We’re a Meson-only shop now.
glib-2-58 will remain the last stable GLib release series which is
buildable using autotools.
We continue to install autoconf macros for autotools-using projects
which depend on GLib; they are stable API.

They should either be generated at build time, or ignored completely,
depending on the presence of --[enable|disable]-man.

The tool was ported to Python, but we should not mention the programming
language used, in case we port it to some other language in the distant
future.
Weak-pointers are currently lacking g_set_object() & g_clear_object()
helpers equivalent. New functions (and macros, both are provided) are
convenient in many case, especially for the property's notify-on-set
pattern:
if (g_set_weak_pointer (...))
g_object_notify (...)
Inspired by Christian Hergert's original implementation for
gnome-builder.

The example code defines an interface with three methods. The preceding text
reads 'This interface defines two methods'. This appears to be because the
example code was changed without updating the surrounding text.

We should show how to properly use glib-mkenums with Autotools, in
the hope that fewer people will be caught cargo-culting rules written
in the late '90s.

By default, only build man pages and gtk-doc if the build-deps were
found. To force-enable, pass -Dwith-docs=yes and -Dwith-man=yes.
Also use a foreach loop for man pages instead of listing them all
manually
