The markup here was not only broken, it was also unnecessary,
since gtk-doc knows to apply <function></function> tags to things
that end with () already.
Add a little bit more room in the ABI for our synchronisation primatives
since we're going to need it when we add native implementations on
Linux.
Also: rename the pointer field and add /*< private >*/ annotations.
All locks are now zero-initialised, so we can drop the G_*_INIT macros
for them.
Adjust various users around GLib accordingly and change the docs.

Modify the POSIX implementation of the synchronisation primatives to use
the same ABI as Windows: one pointer for each type.
This frees us from having to #include <pthread.h> and avoids the problem
with pthread_rwlock_t not being defined under certain compiler defines.
A few more changes are expected to the ABI -- they will be committed
separately.

This commit moves GStaticPrivate, g_thread_foreach and all
related functions and variables to gthread-deprecated.c. We
introduce some internal API to make this possible.
g_thread_foreach is not a very useful function, since there is
virtually nothing you can do with a GThread*, and implementing
it requires us to keep a list of threads around.
GStaticPrivate has been made redundant by adding comparable
capabilities to GPrivate.

Deprecate both g_thread_create functions and add
g_thread_new() and g_thread_new_full(). The new functions
expect a name for the thread.
Change GThreadPool, GMainContext and GDBus to create named threads.

Take out the half-private g_private_init() stuff and replace it with a
G_PRIVATE_INIT macro that allows specifying a GDestroyNotify.
Expose the GPrivate structure in a public header.
Add a g_private_replace() to (sort of) match the functionality of
g_static_mutex_set().
Improve the documentation.
Deprecate g_private_new().
To avoid iterating threads in g_static_private_free(), defer freeing
the per-thread data to thread exit. The one complication here is
that it is possible for the static private index to be reused while
'old' data is still around. To deal with that case, store the 'owner'
with each per-thread data node, and free old data in
g_static_private_get() if the owner doesn't match. The remaining
possibility that a private index could be reused by a GStaticPrivate
with the same address is sufficiently unlikely that we can probably
ignore it.
With this change, per-thread data is now truly private again,
and we can drop the lock for it as well.

GVDB deals with empty lists by returning NULL for the list instead of a
zero-length (non-NULL) strv. We can work around that in GSettingsSchema
by checking for the NULL case and treating it like a zero-length list.
