Previously, `-Dman=false` was the default, because the generated man
pages were shipped in the distribution tarball already, so the option
actually mostly controlled whether to *re*build them.
The generated pages are no longer shipped in the tarball (and probably
haven’t been since the port to Meson, though I haven’t checked), so it
makes sense to change the default to encourage building the man pages if
the right tooling (`rst2man`) is available.

In most CI builds. (Not all of them, though, so we can also test the
build works with it disabled.)
This is needed for the upcoming libgirepository tests, as they need some
GIR files to test against.

The `%E` modifier causes dates to be formatted using an alternative era
representation for years. This doesn’t do anything for most dates, but
in locales such as Thai and Japanese it causes years to be printed using
era names.
In Thai, this means the Thai solar calendar
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thai_solar_calendar). In Japanese, this
means Japanese era names
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_era_name).
The `%E` modifier syntax follows what’s supported in glibc — see
nl_langinfo(3).
Supporting this is quite involved, as it means loading the `ERA`
description from libc and parsing it.
Unit tests are included.

And update all the CI builds to use the latest micro release from that
series, 1.2.3.
This version bump means we can:
- Drop some backwards-compatibility Meson checks
- Fix a periodic CI failure caused by a now-fixed Meson bug
(https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/pull/10633)
It’s in line with our [Meson version policy](./docs/meson-version.md),
as Meson 1.2.1 is available in
[Debian Trixie](https://packages.debian.org/source/trixie/meson) and the
[freedesktop SDK](c95902f2ed/elements/components/meson.bst).

The alt-digits are loaded from `nl_langinfo()` in a `GOnce` section,
which means `nl_langinfo()` is not re-queried after the process changes
locale (if that happens).
So, change the `GOnce` to a mutex and store the locale of the alt-digits
alongside them. This will introduce contention when calling
`format_number()` is called, but how often are multiple threads trying
to format dates at the same time?
If this does get highlighted as a performance problem, the other
approach I considered was a `GPrivate` struct containing all the
locale-specific cached data. That comes at the cost of using a
`GPrivate` slot (although that’s only particularly expensive on Windows,
and the locale code is quite different for Windows, so perhaps that
could be avoided entirely). It does mean that all locale printing could
be lock-free and still safely update cached data on a locale change.

The files here are copied from the docs-gtk-org
branch of gtk.
This adds gi-docgen to the CI Dockerfiles and ensures the new versions
(including the OS upgrades from the previous commit) are used during CI.

That means Debian Bookworm and Fedora 37.
Also rework the mingw Dockerfile to be based on the Fedora one, so that
the underlying layers can be shared. This should reduce the disk
consumption of the registry a little.
`.gitlab-ci.yml` has not been updated to use the new images in this
commit, as the images will be modified further in the following commit.

This reverts commit 91f14cd058.
The freedesktop SDK, which is used by gnome-build-meta, only has Meson
0.63. Bumping GLib’s Meson dependency to 0.64 means that, at the moment,
GLib is not buildable in gnome-build-meta and hence can’t be tested in
nightly pipelines against other projects, etc.
That’s bad for testing GLib.
It’s arguably bad that we’re restricted to using an older version of
Meson than shipped by Debian Testing, but that’s a separate discussion
to be had.
Revert the Meson 0.64 dependency until the freedesktop SDK ships Meson ≥
0.64. This also means reverting the simplifications to use of
`gnome.mkenum_simple()`.

This is in preparation for porting `GRegex` to libpcre2, which is
happening in !2529. It’s a big port, though, and specially rebuilding
the CI images to add libpcre2 for it is a pain.
Add libpcre2, and then !2529 can drop the old libpcre dependencies when
the port lands.

This will be useful in general, for manually debugging failures if we
need (without having to rebuild the CI images to do so).
It will also be useful for the `assert-msg-test` test, which is being

This is the oldest still-supported version of Fedora.
It no longer ships gamin.
This should fix the installed-tests, which rely on version 0.19 of

Run `systemd-machine-id-setup` when creating the image, so that
`/etc/machine-id` is created with a valid ID. Since systemd isn’t
started when running the CI image with podman/Docker, it’s not created
otherwise. This causes some tests to fail.

This is required to be able to build the doc. The debian docker is still
pinned to 0.49.2 which ensure we can build with both versions of meson.
Meson 0.52.0 warns about adding -Wall flag manually, we can remove that
because warning_level=1 (the default) option already implies it.
