As explained in the previous commit, GNU Coreutils 9.2 changes the behaviour
of `du --bytes` to only count regular files and symlinks.
The previous commit makes the test pass with GNU Coreutils >=9.2, but the
machine running the tests may have an older version, or perhaps even a
reimplementation such as uutils. So we can't rely on the size returned by `du`
to be the consistent across systems any more.
However, the plus side of the new behaviour is that the size reported by `du`
/ `G_FILE_MEASURE_APPARENT_SIZE` is now well-defined across filesystems
(as the sum of the sizes of regular files & symlinks), so we can hardcode it.

That’s what xdgmime uses for zero-sized files (see `XDG_MIME_TYPE_EMPTY`).
Historically, GLib explicitly used `text/plain` for empty files, to
ensure they would open in a text editor. But `text/plain` is not really
correct for an empty file: the content isn’t text because there is no
content. The file could eventually become something else when written
to.
Text editors which want to be opened for new, empty files should add
`application/x-zerosize` to their list of supported content types.
Users who want to set a handler for `application/x-zerosize` on their
desktop should use
```sh
gio mime application/x-zerosize # to see the current handler
gio mime application/x-zerosize org.gnome.gedit.desktop # to set it
```

`HAVE_COCOA` should be used only in the places where we’re actually
depending on the Cocoa toolkit. It should not be used as a general way
of detecting building on a Darwin-based OS such as macOS.
Conversely, there are a few places in the code where we do want to
specifically detect the Cocoa toolkit (and others where we specifically
want to detect Carbon), so keep `HAVE_COCOA` and `HAVE_CARBON` around.

This reverts commit 476e33c3f3.
We’ve decided to remove `G_OS_DARWIN` in favour of recommending people
use `__APPLE__` instead. As per the discussion on #2802 and linked
issues,
* Adding a new define shifts the complexity from “which of these
platform-provided defines do I use” to “which platform-provided
defines does G_OS_DARWIN use”
* There should ideally be no cases where a user of GLib has to use
their own platform-specific code, since GLib should be providing
appropriate abstractions
* Providing a single `G_OS_DARWIN` to cover all Apple products (macOS
and iOS) hides the complexity of what the user is actually testing:
are they testing for the Mach kernel, the Carbon and/or Cocoa user
space toolkits, macOS vs iOS vs tvOS, etc

In case the XDG database is not initialized yet we may try to sniff a
0-length data, making our content-type routines to mark non-empty files
as `application/x-zerosize`.
This is wrong, so in case the sniff size is not set, let's just
try to read the default value. To avoid false-application/x-zerosize
results (that are not something we want as per legacy assumptions).

While it's possible to create a directory synchronously via
g_dir_make_tmp(), there's no such API that performs it asynchronously.
So implement it using GFile, using a thread to perform such task.
The interface was ready for this API but it was not provided.
So implement this, using a thread that calls the sync API for now.

Since commit 87e19535fe, the ETag check when writing out a file through
a symlink (following the symlink) has been incorrectly using the ETag
value of the symlink, rather than the target file. This is incorrect
because the ETag should represent the file content, not its metadata or
links to it.

The `G_FILE_CREATE_REPLACE_DESTINATION` flag is equivalent to unlinking
the destination file and re-creating it from scratch. That did
previously work, but in the process the code would call `open(O_CREAT)`
on the file. If the file was a dangling symlink, this would create the
destination file (empty). That’s not an intended side-effect, and has
security implications if the symlink is controlled by a lower-privileged
process.
Fix that by not opening the destination file if it’s a symlink, and
adjusting the rest of the code to cope with
- the fact that `fd == -1` is not an error iff `is_symlink` is true,
- and that `original_stat` will contain the `lstat()` results for the
symlink now, rather than the `stat()` results for its target (again,
iff `is_symlink` is true).
This means that the target of the dangling symlink is no longer created,
which was the bug. The symlink itself continues to be replaced (as
before) with the new file — this is the intended behaviour of
`g_file_replace()`.
The behaviour for non-symlink cases, or cases where the symlink was not
dangling, should be unchanged.
Includes a unit test.

Expose a function that prepares an attribute query string to be passed
to g_file_query_info() to get a list of attributes normally copied with
the file. This function is used by the implementation of
g_file_copy_attributes, and it's useful if one needs to split
g_file_copy_attributes into two stages, for example, when nautilus does
a recursive move of a directory. When files are moved from the source
directory, its modification time changes. To preserve the mtime on the
destination directory, it has to be queried before moving files and set
after doing it, hence these two stages.

Sometimes this test was timing out due to the file monitor notifications
taking longer than the arbitrary 2s delay before ending the test and
checking its results at the end of `iclosed_cb()`.
Avoid that timing-dependence by ending the test when the expected file
monitor notifications are seen, or after a 10s timeout (if so, the test
is failed).
This makes the test run 4× faster in the normal case, as it’s no longer
waiting for a timeout to elapse if the file monitor notifications come
in sooner.

In the writev() tests, the handling of cancellation is tested. However,
the GCancellable was cancelled after the writev_async() call was
started. Depending on the implementation of the writev() vfunc, the
operation could be done in a thread or in callbacks on the current
thread’s main loop. If done in a separate thread, there’s a chance that
enough of the write could happen before cancellation reaches that thread
that the overall operation returns success with a short write.
That would cause the test to fail, sometimes.
Avoid that by cancelling the GCancellable before starting the writev()
operation.

Kqueue isn't good at detecting rapid file creation and deletion. It
tends to miss events because events returned by the kernel don't include
filename information. Since the size of struct kevent is fixed, it is
probably not possible to extend the API to include file names without
breaking ABI. Therefore, we disables the test here to avoid test failure
that is impossible to fix in a reliable way.
The test 'file' uses non-standard '--bytes' option when running du,
which may cause error on non-GNU systems. To keep the test working,
we skips the du check as if we don't find a du command when du fails.
The monitor_path comes from g_file_get_path(), so should be freed with
g_free() rather than free(). This makes no difference because they are
the same function in practice, but using free() is a bit confusing.

This is a variant of g_file_get_path() which returns a const string to
the caller, rather than transferring ownership.
I've been carrying `gs_file_get_path_cached()` in libgsystem and it
has seen a lot of use in the ostree and flatpak codebases. There are
probably others too.
I think language bindings like Python/Gjs could also use this to avoid
an extra malloc (i.e. we could transparently replace
`g_file_get_path()` with `g_file_peek_path()`.

2.56, change the function name and drop the locking.)
