Add support for serialising a GIcon to a GVariant and deserialising the
result back to a GIcon.
This solves a number of problems suffered by the existing to_string()
API, primarily these:
- not forcing the icon to be a utf8 string means that we can
efficiently encode a PNG (ie: just give the array of bytes)
- there is no need to ensure that proper types are loaded before using
the deserialisation interface. 'Foreign' icon types will probably
emit a serialised format the deserialises to a GBytesIcon.
We additionally clearly document what is required for being a consumer
or implementation of #GIcon.
Further patches will be required to GdkPixbuf and GVfsIcon to bring
their implementations in line with the new rules (essentially: introduce
implementations of the new serialize() API).

Hiding the object/class structs in the source file makes this class not
subclassable.
Move them to the public header, and add a property for the icon, so that
subclasses can just use
g_object_new (DERIVED_TYPE,
"gicon", icon,
NULL);
to create an emblemed icon.

So that if we already have a list of emblems we know we want to add to
the icon, we can use e.g. a for loop to add them all, without picking
the first and looping from the second.

Move all the annotations over from gobject-introspection.
They will not be used directly by the introspection scanner for now,
instead they will be extracted by a script and updated manually
until introspection is properly integrated into the glib build
