This avoids walking the construct params list
one extra time just to count when constructing
objects, for a small speedup of object construction
in the presence of construct params.
Sysprof recently cleaned up it's build configuration options. This is
perhaps a good time to update GLib to point at an updated commit'ish and
use the new options.
If now is not a good time to do the update, that is completely fine, but
I wanted to give you a turn-key MR nonetheless.
Move the `if` into the precondition assertion, eliminating one line of
code and making the function preconditions clearer to static analysers.

Avoid GValue transformation when we can, using
the new value_is_valid vfunc.
This is particularly useful for string properties,
where g_value_transform will make a copy of the string.
Since Meson 0.54.0, `dependency('zlib')` will fallback on systems
without a pkg-config dependency, to a system dependency lookup that
performs the necessary `find_libary('z')` (or MSVC zlib/zlib1) and
`has_header('zlib.h')` checks.
This means all the manual lookups are no longer needed, and a single
dependency lookup covers all cases, and also clarifies the log lookup by
not sometimes listing "not found" a couple times.
In constrast to value_validate, this one does not
modify the passed-in value, so we can avoid the cost
of copying the GValue beforehand.
It is optional, but we set it for most of the
builtin pspec types.
This is more efficient than calling
g_datalist_id_remove() multiple times
in a row, since it only takes the locks
once.
Allow up to 16 keys to be removed in one go.
That is enough for the use we have in GObject,
and it avoids any danger of blowing the stack.
In several places we do paired calls of g_value_init
and g_value_unset, both of which peek the value table.
We can avoid half of that cost by remembering the value
table, instead of looking it up again.
This uses the new G_VALUE_COLLECT_INIT2 macro.
The user data parameters in callbacks need to be named user_data to
generate correct closure attributes in the introspection data. This
updates parameters missed in GNOME/glib!2633.
As noticed by Christian Hergert: We can reduce
some overhead by checking for exact type
equality first. According to Christian, around
3% of g_type_is_a calls are exact equalities.
Using prefixed property names like GtkWidget::visible
is very deprectated and basically never done. So avoid
paying the strchr cost before doing the first lookup.
