Instead of just dropping address types that we're not specifically
handling we return a GNativeSocketAddress which is just a dummy
container for the stuct sockaddr.

This allows the caller to know when a socket has been bound so that
it can for instance set the SO_SENDBUF and SO_RECVBUF socket options
before listen is called

Fix a few typical problems, and also stop wrapping the inline definition
of g_steal_pointer in parens, since it is not necessary and it confuses
gtk-doc.
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 is a singleton, but we have a function called _new() to get it.
What's worse is that the documentation makes no mention of this, and
actually specifically says that a new monitor will be created each time.

This is *significantly* more pleasant to use from C (while handling
errors and memory cleanup).
While we're here, change some ugly, leaky code in
tests/desktop-app-info.c to use it, in addition to a test case
in tests/file.c.

g_application_bind_busy_property() had the restriction that only one
property can be bound per object, so that NULL could be used to unbind.
Even though this is enough for most uses, it is a weird API.
Lift that restriction and add an explicit unbind function.

Balancing g_application_{un,}mark_busy() is non-trivial in some cases.
Make it a bit more convenient by allowing to bind multiple boolean
properties (from different objects) to the busy state. As long as these
properties are true, the application is marked as busy.

This is made by doing a build with --rebuild-types option,
then manually remove those functions:
g_win32_input_stream_get_type
g_win32_output_stream_get_type
g_io_extension_get_type
Maybe Makefile.am could remove them automatically so we can
remove gio.types from git and rely on --rebuild-types option?
Add g_list_store_insert_sorted() which takes a GCompareDataFunc to
decide where to insert. This ends up being a very trivial function,
thanks to GSequence.

Add g_auto() and g_autoptr() as helpers for declaring variables with
automatic cleanup.
Add some macros to help types define cleanup functions for themselves.
Going forward it will be an expectation that people use this macro when
creating a new type, even if they do not intend to use the auto-cleanup
functionality for themselves.
These new macros only work on GCC and clang, which is why we resisted
adding them for so long. There exist many people who are only
interested in writing programs for these compilers, however, and a
similar API in libgsystem has proven to be extremely popular, so let's
expose this functionality to an even wider audience.
We ignore deprecation warnings when emitting the free functions, which
seems suspicious. The reason that we do this is not because we want to
call deprecated functions, but just the opposite: sometimes the free
function will be an _unref() function that is only AVAILABLE_IN newer
versions, and these warnings are also implemented as deprecation
warnings.

GListModel is an interface that represents a dynamic list of GObjects.
Also add GListStore, a simple implementation of GListModel that stores
all objects in memory, using a GSequence.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=729351
Add G_DECLARE_DERIVABLE_TYPE() and G_DECLARE_FINAL_TYPE() to allow
skipping almost all of the typical GObject boilerplate code.
These macros make some assumptions about GObject best practice that mean
that they may not be usable with older classes that have to preserve
API/ABI compatibility with a time before these practices existed.

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.

Along the same lines as g_clear_object(), g_set_object() is a
convenience function to update a GObject pointer, handling reference
counting transparently and correctly.
Specifically, it handles the case where a pointer is set to its current
value. If handled naïvely, that could result in the object instance
being finalised. In the following code, that happens when
(my_obj == new_value) and the object has a single reference:
g_clear_object (&my_obj);
my_obj = g_object_ref (new_value);
It also simplifies boilerplate code such as set_property()
implementations, which are otherwise long and boring.
Test cases included.
