This release series of GLib began using features that are provided in
the Windows 8 SDK and later for Visual Studio builds. This also means
that it is no longer possible to build GLib with Visual Studio 2008 nor
2010 since the Windows 8+ SDKs do not work with those compiler versions.
Mention that people that still need to use those Visual Studio versions
should continue sticking on to glib-2.66.x, and so remove the section
about the workarounds that need to be applied for Visual Studio 2008
builds, since they are no longer applicable.
Meson incorrectly detects strcasecmp, strncasecmp on clang-cl if 'prefix:'
is not specified for cc.has_function().

Before this change:
msvc was using _stricmp()
gcc on mingw was using strcasecmp()
gcc on linux was using strcasecmp()
clang-cl was trying to use strcasecmp()
After this change:
msvc is using _stricmp()
gcc on mingw is using strcasecmp()
gcc on linux is using strcasecmp()
clang-cl is using _stricmp()
Tests are still failing to build with clang-cl, but that's a separate issue.
The doc used different phrasing for the same thing, e.g. "if any thread"
vs "any other thread."
Also make it clear that trying to take a write lock while already having
a lock, or trying to take a read lock while having a write lock, is
undefined.
For non-Linux UNIX systems, the label 'close_libutil:' in
'test_pollable_unix_pty()' will have no statement that goes with that
label. Just do a 'return' on non-Linux UNIX systems.
When included inside an `extern "C"` block, this causes build failures
that look something like:
/usr/include/c++/10/type_traits:2930:3: error: template with C linkage
2930 | template<typename _Fn, typename... _Args>
| ^~~~~~~~
../../disas/arm-a64.cc:20:1: note: ‘extern "C"’ linkage started here
20 | extern "C" {
| ^~~~~~~~~~
Commit 4273c43902 made this opt in for
projects which are defining `GLIB_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED`, but the include
of `<type_traits>` via `gmacros.h` was not included in this. If we move
the include out to the places where `glib_typeof` is called, we can make
it covered by this macro too, and save a few consumers from FTBFSing.
That also means that, if you don't want to fix your use of the headers,
and as long as this version is sufficient for you, a quick workaround is
to define `GLIB_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED` to `GLIB_VERSION_2_66` or lower.

File monitor creation may fail. We should check for this, rather than
ignoring it and then spewing criticals upon improperly assuming that we
have a valid GFileMonitor rather than NULL.
In practice, creating the GFileMonitors here fail when opening a large
number of tabs in Epiphany. I'm still investigating to see why, but it
doesn't matter for the purposes of this commit.
Expand an existing unit test to check that the target FD of a
`g_subprocess_launcher_take_fd()` call doesn’t get closed when
`g_subprocess_launcher_close()` is called. Only the source FD should be
closed by the parent process.

This is a regression introduced in commit 67a589e505. Previously, the
source/target FD pairs were stored in `needdup_fd_assignments`, in
consecutive entries, so source FDs had even indices and target FDs had
odd indices.
I didn’t notice that the array index was being incremented by 2 when
closing FDs, when porting from the old code. So previously the code was
only closing the source FDs; after the port, it was closing source and
target FDs.
That’s incorrect, as the target FDs are just integers in the parent
process. It’s only in the child process where they are actually FDs —
and `g_subprocess_launcher_close()` is never called in the child
process.
This resulted in some strange misbehaviours in any process which used
`g_subprocess_launcher_take_fd()` with target FDs which could have
possibly aliased with other FDs in the parent process (and which weren’t
equal to their mapped source FDs).
Thanks to Olivier Fourdan for the detailed bug report.

This was correctly annotated for proper return values but in case of out
parameters it was only annotated as (optional) and not additionally as
(nullable).
The `source_fds`/`target_fds` functionality is not supported on Windows
at the moment.

This should introduce no functional changes, but condenses the variants
of the internal spawn implementation down to be more like `gspawn.c`.

I realise Windows uses handles rather than PIDs, but given that there
are multiple platform-specific implementations of the public
`g_spawn_*()` API, I think it is less confusing for them all to use the
same naming scheme.
This introduces no functional changes.

This improves performance by eliminating the use of a
`GSpawnChildSetupFunc` in the common case (since that setup code has now
moved into `g_spawn*()` itself), and enables the use of the fix to avoid
the child error reporting FD being overwritten by target FD mappings,
introduced via `g_spawn_async_with_pipes_and_fds()`.
It reworks how the source/target FD mapping is stored within
`GSubprocessLauncher` to match what `g_spawn*()` uses. The two
approaches are equivalent.

This is a simple wrapper around the new source/target FD mapping
functionality in `fork_exec()`.

If `stdout_fd` was set to (say) 6, and `stderr_fd` was set to 1, the
`set_cloexec()` call for setting up `stderr` would set the new `stdout`
for the forked process to be closed in the pending `exec()`.
This would cause the child process to error when writing to `stdout`.
This situation happens when using `G_SUBPROCESS_FLAGS_STDERR_MERGE`.
Add some conditions to prevent setting `CLOEXEC` in such cases.

It was previously possible to specify the FD number which
`child_err_report_fd` was assigned, as a target FD in the FD mapping set
up using `g_subprocess_launcher_take_fd()`.

This effectively moves some of the functionality of `GSubprocess`
(`g_subprocess_launcher_take_fd()`) into `g_spawn*()`, which should make
implementation a little simpler.

This is an internal change which won’t affect the public API. It should
introduce no functional changes, but simplifies the code a little.
The arguments from `fork_exec_with_pipes()` have been added to
`fork_exec_with_fds()`. `child_close_fds` has been dropped since it’s
now an implementation detail within the function.
