This was mostly machine generated with the following command:
```
codespell \
--builtin clear,rare,usage \
--skip './po/*' --skip './.git/*' --skip './NEWS*' \
--write-changes .
```
using the latest git version of `codespell` as per [these
instructions](https://github.com/codespell-project/codespell#user-content-updating).
Then I manually checked each change using `git add -p`, made a few
manual fixups and dropped a load of incorrect changes.
There are still some outdated or loaded terms used in GLib, mostly to do
with git branch terminology. They will need to be changed later as part
of a wider migration of git terminology.
If I’ve missed anything, please file an issue!

g_date_time_add_seconds() and g_date_time_add_full() use floating-point
seconds, which can result in the value varying slightly from what's
actually on disk. This causes intermittent test failures in
gio/tests/g-file-info.c on Debian i386, where we set a file's mtime
to be 50µs later, then read it back and sometimes find that it is only
49µs later than the previous value.
I've only seen this happen on i386, which means it might be to do with
different floating-point rounding when a value is stored in the 80-bit
legacy floating point registers rather than in double precision.
g_date_time_add() takes a GTimeSpan, which is in microseconds;
conveniently, that's exactly what we get from the GFileInfo.

The actual parameter name in g_file_attribute_matcher_new()
attributes, so change the param reference to match. This way,
doc tools can create a proper link.
g_file_info_set_modification_time() and
g_file_info_set_modification_date_time() set the
G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_TIME_MODIFIED_USEC attribute in addition to
G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_TIME_MODIFIED, so microsecond precision is available
when provided by the caller, so mention both attributes in the docs.
When future porting deprecated code to use
g_file_info_get_modification_date_time() we risk a number of breakages
because the current implementation also requires the additional use of
G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_TIME_MODIFIED_USEC. This handles that situation gracefully
and returns a GDateTime with less precision.
Applications that want the additional precision, are already using the
additional attribute.
(Minor tweaks by Philip Withnall.)
They use the deprecated GTimeVal type, which is not year 2038 safe, so
have to be deprecated.

These are alternatives to g_file_info_{get,set}_modification_time(),
which will soon be deprecated due to using the deprecated GTimeVal
type, which is not year 2038 safe.
The new APIs take a GDateTime instead.

G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DOS_IS_MOUNTPOINT allows mountpoints
(NTFS reparse points with IO_REPARSE_TAG_MOUNT_POINT tag) to
be told apart from symlinks (NTFS reparse points with
IO_REPARSE_TAG_SYMLINK tag), even though both are reported
by glib as "symlinks".
G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DOS_REPARSE_POINT_TAG allows the exact
reparse tag value to be obtained by the user. This way
even more exotic reparse points can be identified and
handled by the user (glib itself currently has no code
to work with any reparse points that are not symlinks
or mountpoints).
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.

If we have an input parameter (or return value) we need to use (nullable).
However, if it is an (inout) or (out) parameter, (optional) is sufficient.
It looks like (nullable) could be used for everything according to the
Annotation documentation, but (optional) is more specific.
The documentation of g_file_info_copy_into() was misleading. The
attributes are not just copied, @dest_info is also cleared at the
beginning. So any previously set attributes in @dest_info are lost.
There was a bug in gedit about this function, where some metadata were
not saved. So it might make sense to change the implementation to not
clear @dest_info, and copy one by one the attributes from @src_info to
@dest_info.

Add various (nullable) and (optional) annotations which were missing
from a variety of functions. Also port a couple of existing (allow-none)
annotations in the same files to use (nullable) and (optional) as
appropriate instead.
Secondly, add various (not nullable) annotations as needed by the new
default in gobject-introspection of marking gpointers as (nullable). See
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=729660.
This includes adding some stub documentation comments for the
assertion macro error functions, which weren’t previously documented.
The new comments are purely to allow for annotations, and hence are
marked as (skip) to prevent the symbols appearing in the GIR file.

This is meant for opaque, non-POSIX-like backends to indicate that the
URI is not persistent. Applications should look at
G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_STANDARD_SYMLINK_TARGET for the persistent URI.
Examples of such backends could be a portal for letting sandboxed
applications access the file-system, or a database-backed storage like
Google Drive.
In these cases, the user visible file and folder names are different
from the real identifiers, used by the backend. So, a request to
create google-drive://user@gmail.com/foo/New\ File, would actually
lead to google-drive://user@gmail.com/foo/bar on the server even though
the user visible name is still "New File". Since the server-defined URI
is persistent and sanity-checked by the backend, it is recommended that
applications switch to it as soon as possible. Backends will try to
keep a mapping from "fake" to "real" URIs, but those are only on a
best effort basis. They might not be persistent or have the same
guarantees as the "real" URIs.

For the GPtrArray example, several variables declared on the same line
is harder to read and to work with (to move, remove or comment a single
variable declaration).
This indicates whether the thumbnail (given by G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_THUMBNAIL_PATH)
is valid — i.e. to represent the file in its current state. If
G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_THUMBNAIL_IS_VALID is FALSE (for a normal _or_ failed
thumbnail) it means the file has changed since the thumbnail was generated, and
the thumbnail is out of date.
Part of checking thumbnail validity (by the spec) involves parsing
headers out of the thumbnail .png so we include some (small) code to do
that in a separate file. We will likely want to copy this code to gvfs
to do the same for GVfsFile.
Heavily based on a patch from Philip Withnall <philip.withnall@collabora.co.uk>
who suggested the feature and designed the API.

We now sort the matchers and remove unnecessary duplicates (like
removing standard:type when we already match standard:*), so that we can
do more complex operations on them easily in later commits.
* gio/gfileattribute.c: (_g_file_attribute_value_get_string,
_g_file_attribute_value_set_string): These use
G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_TYPE_STRING, which is documented as UTF-8, so
document these private functions as using UTF-8.
* gio/gfileinfo.c: (g_file_info_get_attribute_string,
g_file_info_set_attribute_string, and stringv versions):
Document that the strings are UTF-8 because the implementation uses
those private functions, that use UTF-8.
This helps language bindings (such as glibmm) whose API
distinguishes between known and unknown encodings.
