This adds two new helpers that allow for inserting pre-allocated GList
elements to the queue similar to existing helpers. This may be advantagous
in some situations such as statically allocated GList elements.
Some of these have a negative master/slave connotation, and they add no
value. Change or drop them.

dep-list.c isn’t generated, but contains non-documentation gtk-doc-style
comments which are probably better left in place, since the code is
partially external to GLib.

Those lists were getting very long. We can’t quite entirely automate the
list generation since Meson doesn’t have a range() function, but we can
at least combine three of them into one.

Install a Vectored Exception Handler[0]. Its sole purpose is to catch
some exceptions (access violations, stack overflows, illegal
instructions and debug breaks - by default, but it can be made to catch
any exception for which a code is known) and run a debugger in response.
This allows W32 glib applications to be run without a debugger,
but at the same time allows a debugger to be attached in case
something happens.
The debugger is run with a new console, unless an environment variable
is set to allow it to inherit the console of the crashing process.
The short list of handleable exceptions is there to ensure that
this handler won't run a debugger to "handle" utility exceptions,
such as the one that is used to communicate thread names to a debugger.
The handler is installed to be called last, and shouldn't interfere
with any user-installed handlers.
There's nothing fancy about the way it runs a debugger (it doesn't even
support unicode in paths), and it deliberately avoids using glib code.
The handler will also print a bit of information about the exception
that it caught, and even more information for well-known exceptions,
such as access violation.
The whole scheme is similar to AeDebug[1] and, in fact, the signal-event
gdb command was originally implemented for this very purpose.

The g_app_info_launch_uris_async() and g_app_info_launch_uris_finish()
functions are crucial to fix g_app_info_launch_default_for_uri_async()
to be really asynchronous.
This patch also adds GDesktopAppInfo implementation of that vfuncs.
The implementation may still use some synchronous calls to local MIME DB.

This allows returning WOULD_BLOCK without allocating a GError, and
should later be used for various functions of GPollableOutputStream,
GPollableInputStream and anything else that can potentially block.
So long, and thanks for everything. We’re a Meson-only shop now.
glib-2-58 will remain the last stable GLib release series which is
buildable using autotools.
We continue to install autoconf macros for autotools-using projects
which depend on GLib; they are stable API.

The behaviour of the Meson build has changed a little vs what we did in
autotools. In autotools, --enable-debug was a tristate (yes, no,
undefined), with all three options resulting in different macro
definitions.
In Meson, we have a bistate of --buildtype={debug,debugoptimized} vs
--buildtype=(anything else). There is no way to automatically define
G_DISABLE_ASSERT or G_DISABLE_CHECKS while building GLib — you need to
define them in your CPPFLAGS in your environment instead.

Drop mentions of autotools. In particular, update the list of configure
options to reflect what’s available in the Meson build.
Further work is needed as a follow-up to improve our handling of (what
was formerly) the --enable-debug option.

Right now this can only be set at construction but not read back.
That seems unnecessarily restrictive, and we'll need to read these
flags from outside of gdbusconnection.c in the next commit, so let's
just make it public.

Add option to not encode resource data into the C source file
in order to embed the data using `ld -b binary`. This improves compilation
times, but can only be done on Linux or other platforms with a
supporting linker.
(Rebased by Philip Withnall, fixing minor rebase conflicts.)
Fixes#1489
There was no distinction between literals which need to be typed, and
normal words in the prose.
