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.

It's unnecessary, and only adds visual noise; we have been fairly
inconsistent in the past, but the semi-colon-less version clearly
dominates in the code base.

Change it to a running example of a file viewer application with a file
class and various derived classes and related interfaces. Hopefully the
reader can relate to this a little better than to their maman.

Use G_DECLARE_INTERFACE and G_DEFINE_INTERFACE. Fix a couple of typos.
Add some comments to empty functions to make it obvious they’re
intentionally empty.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744060
Restructure the section of the how-to which covers the header and source
code boilerplate for declaring and defining GObjects to use the new
G_DECLARE_*_TYPE macros. Present both final and derivable types.
Trim various supporting paragraphs.
Rename ‘class functions’ to ‘virtual functions’ to use consistent,
modern terminology.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744060
On initialisation, GObject guarantees to zero-fill
class/object/interface structures. Document this so people don’t spend
forever writing:
my_object->priv->some_member = NULL;
my_object->priv->some_other_member = NULL;

As it turns out, we have examples of internal functions called
type_name_get_private() in the wild (especially among older libraries),
so we need to use a name for the per-instance private data getter
function that hopefully won't conflict with anything.
Started off by using the new instance private data macro, ended up
cleaning up the obscure, out of date, or simply broken concepts and
paragraphs.

* Document how to override interfaces already implemented
in a base class, and also call those base class implementations
from a derived reimplementation.
* Don't recomend people use base_init() style functions to
initialize interface signals and properties, use default_init()
aka class_init() instead (as G_DEFINE_INTERFACE() uses).
* The above solves the interface init called multiple times
problem, so remove some needless naysaying about that.
* Document default_init() in the interface initialization discussion
* Linkify more stuff.
* Remove some crud and typos

Either g_type_register_static_simple (used by G_DEFINE_TYPE_EXTENDED)
and G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE use automatic variables for GTypeInfo and
GInterfaceInfo structs, while tutorials and source code often use
static variables. This commit consistently adopts the former method.

Some links were broken due to typos, because functionality was removed
in GLib 2.0 or for various other reasons. Fix up as many of them as is
reasonable.

Recommend macro type names such as NAUTILUS_TYPE_WINDOW (not
NAUTILUS_WINDOW_TYPE). Fixed text which erroneously stated that
superclass initializers don't run when an object is
instantiated. Fixed numerous spelling mistakes. Minor grammar
edits. (#490637, Adam Dingle)
