Meson 1.5.1 is available in the fd.o SDK and in Debian testing, so the
glib Meson policy says we can update. Update the minimum only as far as
1.4.0 because we don't yet have a need for 1.5.0.
This allows us to:
- Use file.full_path() to avoid deprecation warnings on str.format(file).
- Set c_std=gnu99,c99 to avoid deprecation warnings with gnu99 on MSVC.
Update all the CI builds to use the latest 1.4.x patch release, 1.4.2.
The FreeBSD runner cannot be updated via `gitlab-ci.yml`, so will be
broken for now.
Similarly, the macOS build will not work unless `-Dc_std=gnu99` is
specified at configure time, due to
https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/13639.
The WSAEnumNetworkEvents API is called every time the socket
needs to be checked for status changes. Doing this in an application
with several sockets could generate a high cpu usage since
this call is done for each socket at each iteration of the main loop.
Since there is also a WSAEvent that gets signaled when there is
a change in the status of the socket, checking its status and
calling the WSAEnumNetworkEvents API only if the event is signaled,
can reduce the overall cpu usage.
The value returned when generating a collation key is an opaque binary
blob that is only meant to be used for byte-wise comparisons; we should
not imply it's a nul-terminated, UTF-8 string.
This is especially true for language bindings that try to convert C
strings returned by GLib into UTF-8 encoded strings.
Ideally, the collation functions should return a byte array, but the
closest thing we have is the OS native encoding type that we use for
paths and environment variables.

When the child process is going to exit on error after fork() but before
exec(), let's close the child_err_report_fd. The practical value of this
is to placate valgrind --track-fds=yes.
The new merge request link only works when logged in to a GitLab
account, unfortunately. Make that clear in the readme.

When we invoke a shell script directly, the system selects a bash binary
that might be different from the one detected by find_program('bash').
Explicitly use the one detected by Meson, matching the behavior of our
other test() invocations on shell scripts.
