`g_time_zone_new_identifier()` returns NULL in the FreeBSD test setup,
presumably because `TZ` isn’t set.

Use `g_time_zone_new_identifier()` instead so you can get error
checking.
Adapt the tests to match.

It doesn’t seem to be possible to use `only:changes` from a branch
pipeline extending `.only-default` and have it correctly trigger when
`*.sh` or `*.py` files are modified.
We possibly need to convert all our pipelines to be merge-request-only,
but that’s an avenue I’ve been down before and I couldn’t get it to
work. Using
[`workflow:rules`](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/yaml/README.html#workflowrules)
might fix that, but I don’t have time to rework the entire CI to use
that now.
So in the meantime, move the SH and Py checks into the existing
style-check job so we’re not always spinning up two additional container
instances on every merge request.

Spotted by shellcheck (warning SC1117): `\e` is not an actual escape
sequence, so it’s interpreted as `\\e`. Best make that explicit.

Half of the references to `init_state` in `gtype.c` already correctly
accessed it atomically, but a couple didn’t. Drop the `volatile`
qualifier from its declaration, as that’s not necessary for atomic
access.
Note that this is the `init_state` in `TypeData`, *not* the `init_state`
in `IFaceEntry`.

In the Windows destructor list, consistently access
`g_private_destructors` using atomic primitives.
`g_atomic_pointer_compare_and_exchange()` should be equivalent to
`InterlockedCompareExchangePointer()`, but is a bit more understandable
in a general GLib context, and pairs with `g_atomic_pointer_get()`. (I
can’t find a Windows API equivalent for that.)

`volatile` should not be used to indicate atomic variables, and we
shouldn’t encourage its use. Keep the tests, since they check that we
don’t emit warnings when built against incorrect old code which uses
`volatile`. But add a comment to stop copy/paste use of `volatile`
in the future.

This is an API break, but it should not affect third party code since
that code should not be interacting with the `data` member in a way that
invokes its `volatile` qualifier (such as copying to an intermediate

It’s not necessary and provides no thread safety guarantees.
The `volatile` qualifiers on the function arguments have to be kept, as
they are (unfortunately) part of the API.

The previous code consumed a larger additional amount of stack space.
That is because it would allocate the temporary buffer for GValues on
the stack with "g_newa (GValue, 1)" and thus the required stack
space grew with the number of arguments. Granted, this is already
a variadic C function, so the caller already placed that many elements
on the stack. For example, on the stack there are the property names
and the pointers to the arguments, which should amount to roughly
O(n_args * 16) (on 64 bit, with pointers being 8 bytes large).
That is not bad, because it means in the previous version the stack space
would grow linear with the already used stack space. However, a GValue is
an additional 24 bytes (on 64 bit), which probably more than doubles the
required stack space. Let's avoid that, by allocating the temporary list
on the heap after a certain threshold. This probably more than doubles the
number of possible arguments before the stack overflows.
Also, previously the heap allocated "params" array only grew one element
per iteration. Of course, it is likely that libc anyway reallocates
the buffers by growing the space exponentially. So realloc(ptr, 1)
probably does not O() scale worse than doubling the buffer sizes ourselves.
However, it seems clearer to keep track of the allocated sizes ourself, and
only call realloc() when we determine that we are out of space.
Especially because we need to update the value pointers on reallocation.
Note that we now require a heap allocation both for the "params" and the
"values" list. Theoretically that could be combined by using one buffer
for both. But that would make the code more complicated.
Now we pre-allocate buffers for 16 elements on the stack. That
is (16 * (16 + 24) bytes (or 640 bytes) on the stack. I think that
is still acceptable.
