The fix for bgo#651133 (commit 7e0f890e38) introduced a kind of weak
ref, which had to be thread-safe due to the fact that `GDBusProxy`
operates in one thread but can emit signals in another.
Since that commit, `GWeakRef` was added, which does the same thing. Drop
the custom code in favour of it; this should be functionally equivalent,
but using an RW lock rather than a basic mutex, which should reduce
contention.

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.

Names are a message bus feature, so it does not make sense to connect
to NameOwnerChanged when the underlying connection is not a message
bus.
Moreover, g_dbus_connection_signal_subscribe() will also enforce that
condition. Adding this extra check here is helpful to avoid a critical
warning when using GDBusProxy with peer-to-peer connections.

Currently, GDBusProxy:g-name-owner only notifies changes to the unique
name owner of the remote object in case the proxy was constructed for a
well-known name.
That sounds like an artificial restriction, and it's convenient to
connect to notify::g-name-owner if a proxy instance has already been
created for an unique name, instead of additionally using
g_bus_watch_name() to track the owner.
To fix this, always connect to NameOwnerChanged after the proxy is
initialized, instead of only doing so when the proxy was constructed for
a well-known name.

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.
proxy->priv->name_owner gets overwritten in async_init_data_set_name_owner() on the
assumption that it will always be NULL when we get there. However,
on_name_owner_changed() can run first, and it does set name_owner.

Commit f10b655 removed the inclusion of gasyncresult.h from gdbusproxy.c,
but gdbusproxy.c uses g_async_result_get_source_object(), which caused a
build warning/error. Fix that.
Sometimes the application doesn't want to autostart a service
when it creates a proxy, but wants the service autostarted when
it makes the first method call. Allow that behavior with a new
flag.

As it turns out, we have examples of internal functions called
type_name_get_private() in the wild (especially among older libraries),
so we need to use a name for the per-instance private data getter
function that hopefully won't conflict with anything.
Back in the far-off twentieth century, it was normal on unix
workstations for U+0060 GRAVE ACCENT to be drawn as "‛" and for U+0027
APOSTROPHE to be drawn as "’". This led to the convention of using
them as poor-man's ‛smart quotes’ in ASCII-only text.
However, "'" is now universally drawn as a vertical line, and "`" at a
45-degree angle, making them an `odd couple' when used together.
Unfortunately, there are lots of very old strings in glib, and also
lots of new strings in which people have kept up the old tradition,
perhaps entirely unaware that it used to not look stupid.
Fix this by just using 'dumb quotes' everywhere.

GDBusProxy sets an error on a GSimpleAsyncResult and then returns
without dispatching the result for completion (and leaks the result in
the process). Fix that.
Also add a testcase. Unfortunately, adding the testcase uncovered
bug #672248. We can work around that by reordering the tests.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=672249
Call g_simple_async_result_set_check_cancellable() after all
GSimpleAsyncResult creation in order to take advantage of the new
reliable cancellation feature.
The guarantee of reliable cancellation fixes a bug in dbusmenu (which
was already assuming that cancellation was reliable). See this bug:

This is needed for thread-safety ... yes, it would have been better to
make get_object() return a full reference and have something like a
peek_object() method return a borrowed reference for C convenience
(only a single vfunc would have been needed). But such an ABI break is
too late now...

Since it is valid for a D-Bus interface / service to add new methods,
signals or properties we must NEVER warn about unknown properties or
drop unknown signals or disallow unknown method invocations when we
have an expected interface.
So this means that the expected_interface machinery is only useful for
checking that the service didn't break ABI.
Also update the docs so it is clear exactly what it means to have an
expected interface.

This changes the meaning of "properties_lock" from "lock for D-Bus
properties" to "lock for GObject properties".
The most common problem, and the only one I've reproduced in a regression
test, is name_owner, which can be updated by the thread that owns
the GDBusProxy's main context (i.e. the thread-default main context of
the thread that constructed it) at the same time that a blocking call
is made. When a GDBusProxy is constructed in a thread-pool thread for
short-term use, the main context will typically be the global default
main context (which is actively running in the main thread!), making
this extremely problematic.
The interface info is perhaps a theoretical concern - one thread could
conceivably set it at the same time that another thread uses it, but only
in relatively pathological situations. The current API for this does have
the problem that it returns a borrowed ref, but interface info is
hopefully permanent anyway.
The default timeout is probably only a theoretical concern - it's just an
int, so writes are indivisible, and there's no worry about whether
something has been freed - but to be safe, let's hold the lock for that
too.
