inotify: Trivially add SPDX-License-Identifier to inotify files
The license and copyright are already stated in human-readable form in
these files, so this should be uncontroversial.

f60590534d License headers: "the Gnome Library" -> "this library"
Harmonize a little the license headers. In most of the license headers
in GLib, it is "this library".

It is also what is explained at:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/lgpl-2.1.html#SEC4
"How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries"

c5d5e2916b inotify: implement "boredom" algorithm
Use the "interesting" value from g_file_monitor_source_handle_event() to
decide if we're currently being flooded by a stream of boring events.

The main case here is when one or more files is being written to and the
change events are all being rate-limited in the GFileMonitor frontends.

In that case, we become "bored" with the event stream and add a backoff
timeout.  In the case that it is exactly one large file being written
(which is the common case) then leaving the event in the queue also lets
the kernel perform merging on it, so when we wake up, we will only see
the one event.  Even in the case that the kernel is unable to perform
merging, the context switch overhead will be vastly reduced.

In testing, this cuts down on the number of wake ups during a large file
copy, by a couple orders of magnitude (ie: less than 1% of the number of
wake ups).

779c809a3d inotify: rewrite inotify-kernel
Remove the hardwired 1 second event queue logic from inotify-kernel and
replace it with something vastly less complicated.

Events are now reported as soon as is possible instead of after a
delay.

We still must delay IN_MOVED_FROM events in order to look for the
matching IN_MOVED_TO events, and since we want to report events in order
this means that events behind those events can also be delayed.  We
limit ourselves, however:

 - no more than 100 events can be delayed at a time

 - no event can be delayed by more than 10ms

fd1e9938b3 Send CHANGES_DONE_HINT on file moves if no IN_CLOSE_WRITE is emitted
This patch makes GFileMonitor to emit EVENT_CHANGES_DONE_HINT when
EVENT_CREATED is emitted but the file is not opened for writing.

On file moves across different mounted volumes, inotify will always emit
IN_CREATE and IN_CLOSE_WRITE (plus other events).
This translates into GIO's _EVENT_CREATED and _EVENT_CHANGES_DONE_HINT.

On file moves across the same mounted volumes, inotify will emit
IN_MOVED_FROM/IN_MOVED_TO which will be translated into
_EVENT_DELETED/_EVENT_CREATED GIO's side. No _EVENT_CHANGES_DONE_HINT is
emited afterwards.
Under such circumstances a file indexer does not know when actually the
file is ready to be indexed, either waiting too much or triggering the
indexing twice. On small devices it's not advisable.
