If c_marshaller is provided during g_signal_new() registration, the
automatic va_marshaller will not be set. If we leave the c_marshaller as
NULL in the simple cases, both a c_marshaller and va_marshaller will be
set for us.
This is particularly helpful when dealing with stack traces from Linux
perf, which often cannot unwind the stack beyond the ffi_call_unix64
stack-frame on x86_64.

Explain why we say "See new_stateful()" (although it's pretty obvious).
Drop a redundant copy of the argument description in the body text.
Add a # to the GVariant type name so that we can have a nice link.

If something is nullable, it's always helpful to identify what NULL
means. Also, this is not the parameter for the .activate() vfunc, as we
take that over: rather, it is the parameter for the ::activate signal.

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.
Currently the only way to set a state hint on an action is through a
subclass; add a g_simple_action_set_state_hint() method so that this
becomes easier for clients that already use GSimpleAction.

Since we are no longer using sgml mode, using /* */ to
escape block comments inside examples does not work anymore.
Switch to using line comments with //
If the action is stateful and the user doesn't have their own activate handler
then do some reasonable things for ourselves.
After a lot of experience using stateful GSimpleAction it turns out that
people almost always end up using it in the same ways:
A boolean-typed stateful action with no parameter is most likely going
to want to be toggled. Any other type of action that has the parameter
type equal to the state type probably intends for activation to
represent a request to change the state.
This patch implements those two cases. This will let people stop
writing their own trivial handlers over and over.

g_object_set() allowed us to bypass the usual checks that the state
doesn't change type and also leaked.
Fix that up by turning the state into a construct property (so that it
always gets set once during construction, even if only to NULL) and
then route the further sets through the C API so that they are subject
to the same checks.

GAction is a read-only interface (as is visible by the lack of _set() functions
on its API). The properties on the interface currently force implementors to
support writing of the properties at construct time, however.
Lift that restriction.
Take advantage of this from GSimpleAction by nuking the set_property
function and setting the fields directly in the constructor.
This commit represents an API break to GAction in the following ways:
- the 'set_state' entry in the GActionInterface vtable has been
renamed to 'change_state'. The number and order of vtable items has
not otherwise changed.
- g_action_set_state() has been renamed to g_action_change_state() to
match the updated vtable entry.
- the "state" property of the GAction interface has been changed to
read-only to reflect the fact that g_action_set_state() no longer
exists.
- GSimpleActionClass has been hidden. GSimpleAction can no longer be
subclassed.
>> Rationale
g_action_set_state() has never been a true setter in the sense that
calling it will update the value of the "state" property. It has always
been closer to "request 'state' to be changed to this value" with
semantics defined by the implementor of the interface. This is why the
equivalent method in GActionGroup had its name changed from 'set' to
'change'. This change makes the two interfaces more consistent and
removes any implication about the effect that calling set_state() should
have on the 'state' property.
>> Impact
This incompatible API break was undertaken only because I strongly
suspect that it will go entirely unnoticed. If the break actually
affects anybody, then we will accommodate them (possibly going as far as
to revert this commit entirely).
The virtual table change only impacts implementors of GAction. I
strongly suspect that this is nobody (except for GSimpleAction).
The hiding of GSimpleActionClass only impacts impacts subclasses of
GSimpleAction. I strongly suspect that none of these exist.
The changing of the property to be read-only only affects people who
were trying to change the state by using GObject properties. I strongly
suspect that this is nobody at all.
The removal of the g_action_set_state() call is the most dangerous, but
I still suspect that it will impact nobody outside of GLib. If anybody
is impacted by this change then, at their request, I will reintroduce
the API as a deprecated alias for g_action_change_state().
