Add a new test which checks that atomically replacing a file that
is being monitored by GFileMonitor produced the expected events.
The test can easily be expanded to cover other file monitoring
scenarios.
After the big file monitoring rewrite, we only put the IN_MOVED_FROM event
in the queue for such pairs. It matches INOTIFY_DIR_MASK and thus we call
ip_dispatch_event on it, but that function was filtering it out because
the filename in the 'from' event is the one of the temp file, not the
one we are monitoring. That name is in the 'to' event, so compare it as
well, and let the event passin that case.
There is another instance of this check in glocalfilemonitor.c, which is
corrected here as well.

It seems to be common for people to use g_warning() or g_error() as pre-
and post-condition error reporting functions, which is not really what
they’re intended for. Similarly, it is generally a sign of bad API
design to use g_warning() to report errors — use GError instead.
Try and suggest this to the user in the hope that nice code results.

It’s quite common to see naked g_signal_connect() calls without a paired
g_signal_handler_disconnect(). This is commonly a bug which could lead
to uses of the callback user data after it’s been freed.
Document the best practices for avoiding this kind of bug by properly
disconnecting all signal handlers.

It’s very common to see code where a timeout is scheduled using
g_timeout_add(), yet the owning object could be destroyed shortly
afterwards, before the timeout is fired, leading to use-after-free.
Try and prevent this happening with new code by documenting best
practices for memory management of user data for GSource callbacks.

Make it a little easier to find the GType conventions page, which I
guess should be the canonical guide to how to name things.
This adds a brief mention of the valid characters in a type name to the
conventions page.

It’s unfortunately common to see worker threads being spawned all over
the place to do operations which could be brought into the main thread
with an async call, simplifying everything.

…and friends. The ‘String precision pitfalls’ section is already linked
to from all the relevant printf()-style functions, so this documentation
should hopefully be easy to find.

This is a binding-friendly version of g_dbus_connection_register_object.
Based on a patch by Martin Pitt and the code of g_bus_watch_name_with_closures.

exit-on-close for a DBus connection is a completely normal thing. On
a regular GNOME login, gdm retains the X server, but terminates the
session login bus and associated helpers like gnome-settings-dameon,
the a11y tools, etc.
I've seen several downstream reports of confusion as to what these
apparent error messages mean in the system log. It doesn't help
that they're so obtuse.
We're also printing them to stderr, when this is not an error.
The reason this was introduced is presumably some people were confused
as to why their process exited when the system bus did. But the
solution for that I believe is documentation, not printing stuff to
everyone's system log in normal operation.

The previous commit introduced a possible memory leak in cases
where we get a G_IO_ERROR_CLOSED error. Make sure to always
free an error, if we got one.

There are real world cases where emitting signals can fail, such
as if the DBus connection closes. Asserting and aborting the process
in these cases is just plain lazy.
Ignore the errors when the connection is closed, and turn the
others into warnings.

The memory vtables no longer work, because glib contructors are called
before main(), so there is no way to set it them before use. This stops using
the vtable at all, and deprecates and stubs out the related functions.

Add a property to GNetworkMonitor indicating if the network
is metered, e.g. subject to limitations set by service providers.
The default value is FALSE

A signal accumulator can return TRUE to continue signal emission, and
FALSE to stop signal emission. handle-local-options callbacks can return
« return a non-negative option if you have handled your options and
want to exit the process ».
Currently, g_application_handle_local_options_accumulator (the
accumulator for the handle-local-options signal) returns TRUE on
non-negative return value (ie continue signal emission), and returns
FALSE on negative return values (ie when the default option processing
should continue).
This return value seems backward as on >= 0 values, subsequent
handle-local-options callbacks could overwrite the 'exit request' from
the handler, while on < 0 values, the handle-local-options processing
could end up early if several callbacks are listening for this signal.
In particular, the default handler for this signal
(g_application_real_handle_local_options) always returns -1 and will
overwrite >= 0 return values from other handlers.
This commit inverts the check so that signal emission stops early when
one of the handle-local-options callbacks indicates it wants processing
to stop and the process to exit.

Merge the parts that has things to do with stdint.h and inttypes.h with
the !_MSC_VER portions, and add initial support for Visual Studio 2015,
which added support for C99 snprintf() and vsnprintf().
Not too sure about the !_MSC_VER for C99 snprintf() and vsnprintf(), but
since this file is mainly for Visual Studio builds, anyways...
