g_task_set_name() was added in GLib 2.60, so only use it in the
overridden definition of g_task_set_source_tag() if the user has said
that they require GLib ≥ 2.60.
This is a follow up to commit b08bd04abe.

And improve them externally, where not otherwise set, by setting them
from the function name passed to `g_task_set_source_tag()`, if called by
third party code.
This should make profiling and debug output from GLib more useful.

Similarly to g_source_set_name(), this sets a name on a GTask for
debugging and profiling. Importantly, this name is propagated to the
GSource for idle callbacks for the GTask, ending the glorious reign of
`[gio] complete_in_idle_cb`.
The name can be queried using g_task_get_name(). Locking is avoided by
only allowing the name to be set before the GTask is used from another
thread.
Includes tests.

This can be used to query whether the task has completed, in the sense
that it has had a result set on it, and has already – or will soon –
invoke its callback function.
Notifications for this property are emitted immediately after the task’s
main callback, in the same main context as that callback. This allows
for multiple bits of code to listen for completion of the GTask, which
opens the door for blocking on cancellation of the GTask and improved
handling of ‘pending’ behaviour.

This allows compilation with clang without errors, even when
-Wformat-nonliteral is active (as long as there are no real cases of
non literal formatting).

GTask is a replacement for GSimpleAsyncResult and GIOScheduler, that
also allows for making cancellable wrappers around non-cancellable
functions (as in GThreadedResolver).
