This adds "child source" support to GSource. A child source behaves
basically like a GPollFD; when you add a source to a context, all of
its child sources are added with the same priority; when you destroy a
source, all of its child sources are destroyed; and when a child
source triggers, its parent source's dispatch function is run.
Use cases include:
- adding a GTimeoutSource to another source to cause the source to
automatically trigger after a certain timeout.
- wrapping an existing source type with a new type that has
a different callback signature
- creating a source that triggers based on different conditions
at different times.

Add some helpers for freeing a linked list along with its elements by
providing a GDestroyNotify to call on each of them.
Add a test.
Based on a patch from Cosimo Cecchi.
Timezone handling is complicated. Really complicated.
In order to simplify it a little bit, we need to expose the GTimeZone
structure.
First of all, we allow creating time zone information directly from the
offset and the DST state, and then pass it to the g_date_time_new_full()
constructor. We also need to clean up the mess that is UTC-vs.-localtime
for the other constructors.
We also allow creating a GTimeZone from the Olson zoneinfo database
names; a time zone created like this will be "floating": it will just
reference the zoneinfo file - which are mmap()'ed, kept in a cache and
refcounted. Once the GTimeZone has been associated with a GDateTime, it
will be "anchored" to it: the offset will be resolved, as well as the
DST state.

Remove some symbols from glib-sections.txt that gtk-doc has no idea
about.
Add proper callback typedefs for GTester (gtk-doc dislikes inline
function types).
Fix some other minor issues.
- add G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING, _BYTESTRING_ARRAY, _STRING_ARRAY
- remove g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array functions
- add g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring{,_array} functions
- remove undocumented support for deserialising arrays of objectpaths
or signature strngs using g_variant_get_strv()
- add and document new format strings '^ay', '^&ay', '^aay' and '^a&ay'
- update GApplication to use the new API
- update GSettings binding code to use the new API
- add tests
Merge GVariant variable arguments support and put it under tests.
Also, remove the hack of the test case directly '#include'ing .c files
from glib/. Instead, create a non-installed gvariant-internal.h that
the tests can include and make the symbols in it visible on the symbol
table of the shared library. These symbols (as they are present in no
installed header files) are not part of the API of GLib.
Increase test coverage in a few other areas.
Add support for a mutex lock that consumes only one bit of storage
inside of an integer on systems that support futexes. Futex is emulated
(at a higher cost) on systems that don't have it -- but only in the
contended case.
