Using the generic marshaller has drawbacks beyond performance. One such
drawback is that it breaks the stack unwinding from the Linux kernel due
to having unsufficient data to walk past ffi_call_unixt64. That means that
performance profiling by application developers looks grouped among
seemingly unrelated code paths.
While we can't fix the kernel unwinding here, we can provide proper
c_marshallers and va_marshallers for objects within Gio so that
performance profiling of applications is more reliable.

This is simpler and more robust than DBUS_COOKIE_SHA1, which relies
on assumptions about random numbers and a secure home directory.

Authentication is about proving who I am; authorization is about
whether, given the knowledge of who I am, I am allowed to do something.
GDBusServer and GDBusConnection carry out authentication automatically,
but rely on the library user to carry out authorization.

It's unnecessary, and only adds visual noise; we have been fairly
inconsistent in the past, but the semi-colon-less version clearly
dominates in the code base.

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.
To help cross compilation, don't use glib-genmarshal in our
build. This is easy now that we have g_cclosure_marshal_generic().
In gobject/, add gmarshal.[ch] to git (making the existing entry
points stubs).
In gio/, simply switch to using g_cclosure_marshal_generic().

E.g. move these C structures out of public header files and into their
respective C files. Also nuke padding since this is no longer needed.
This leaves only GDBusProxy as an extendable type.

Things compile and the test-suite passes. Still need to hook up
gio.symbols and docs. There are still a bunch of TODOs left in the
sources that needs to be addressed.
