Commit ab0e9dbfa7 introduced some changes
to the documentation Makefiles designed to clean-up the process of
deciding which headers get scanned for the docs.
Unfortunately, the gtk-doc Makefile doesn't use HFILE_GLOB for actually
generating the docs -- only for knowing when it needs to redo the
generation. Because of this, we need to use IGNORE_HFILES or otherwise
we get hundreds of symbols in the *-unused.txt files.
Revert the changes that that commit made to the docs Makefiles (but
leave the generation of the *-public-headers.txt files in place).
* Load modules from paths listed in GIO_EXTRA_MODULES environment
variable first.
* Ignore duplicate modules based on module basename.
* Add the concept of GIOModuleScope which allows other callers to
skip duplicate loaded modules, or block specific modules based on
basename.
* Document behavior.

Rework property getters to use a vfunc so we can take the fast path
and avoid allocating memory for both the skeleton and the proxy
cases. This requires some special case because of how GVariant expects
you to free memory in some cases, see #657100. Add test cases for
this.
Document the _get_ functions as not being thread-safe and also
generate _dup_ C getters (which are thread-safe).
Mark all the generated _get_, _dup_ and _set_ as (skip) as non-C
languages should just use GObject properties and not the (socalled)
"C binding".

The main rationale for adding it was to avoid having gnome-shell
mmap'ing /etc/localtime once a second. However, we can just as easily
run inotify there, and given no one else was clamoring for a way to
detect when the time zone changes, I don't see a need for public API
here - at least not yet.
In the bigger picture, I just don't believe that the vast majority of
applications are going to go out of their way to instantiate and keep
around a random GTimeZoneMonitor class. And if they do, it's has the
side effect that for other bits of code in the process, local GDateTime
instances may start varying again!
So, if code can't rely on local GDateTime instances being in a
consistent state anyways, let's just do that always. The
documentation now says that this is the case. Applications have
always been able to work in a consistent local time zone by
instantiating a zone and then using it for GDateTime constructors.
We fix the "gnome-shell stats /etc/localtime once a second" issue by
using timerfd (in glib) and inotify (in gnome-shell).

The database is an abstract object implemented by the various TLS
backends, which is used by GTlsConnection to lookup certificates
and keys, as well as verify certificate chains.
Also add GTlsInteraction, which can be used to prompt the user
for a password or PIN (used with the database).

Also add convenience _with_unix_fd_list variants to GDBusConnection,
GDBusProxy and GDBusMethodInvocation types to easily support this.

This is possible now that we have better support for object path
arrays, see

Note that this breaks the ABI of generated code but since
gdbus-codegen(1) has never yet been in a stable GLib release, this is
fine.

This commit represents an API break to GAction in the following ways:
- the 'set_state' entry in the GActionInterface vtable has been
renamed to 'change_state'. The number and order of vtable items has
not otherwise changed.
- g_action_set_state() has been renamed to g_action_change_state() to
match the updated vtable entry.
- the "state" property of the GAction interface has been changed to
read-only to reflect the fact that g_action_set_state() no longer
exists.
- GSimpleActionClass has been hidden. GSimpleAction can no longer be
subclassed.
>> Rationale
g_action_set_state() has never been a true setter in the sense that
calling it will update the value of the "state" property. It has always
been closer to "request 'state' to be changed to this value" with
semantics defined by the implementor of the interface. This is why the
equivalent method in GActionGroup had its name changed from 'set' to
'change'. This change makes the two interfaces more consistent and
removes any implication about the effect that calling set_state() should
have on the 'state' property.
>> Impact
This incompatible API break was undertaken only because I strongly
suspect that it will go entirely unnoticed. If the break actually
affects anybody, then we will accommodate them (possibly going as far as
to revert this commit entirely).
The virtual table change only impacts implementors of GAction. I
strongly suspect that this is nobody (except for GSimpleAction).
The hiding of GSimpleActionClass only impacts impacts subclasses of
GSimpleAction. I strongly suspect that none of these exist.
The changing of the property to be read-only only affects people who
were trying to change the state by using GObject properties. I strongly
suspect that this is nobody at all.
The removal of the g_action_set_state() call is the most dangerous, but
I still suspect that it will impact nobody outside of GLib. If anybody
is impacted by this change then, at their request, I will reintroduce
the API as a deprecated alias for g_action_change_state().
Rather than having the gtk-doc build machinery have a list of header
files to exclude, change the GLib build to dump a list of public
header files generated from the maintained Makefile.am files for
each of glib/, gobject/, gio/.
Also, for glib, always install glib-unix.h, even on non-Unix
platforms, for the same reason we install gwin32.h even on Unix.

See https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37890#c6 where it was
discovered that dbus-send(1) actually doesn't work (either libdbus-1's
flush implementation or dbus-send(1)'s usage of it is broken) so it's
useful to have here.

This avoids the generated types (e.g. ExampleAnimal, ExampleCat,
ExampleObject and ExampleObjectManagerClient) being referenced in the
core gio docs. This was requested by Matthias.

For example, if setting a property on a skeleton from another thread
than where it was constructed, the idle handler responsible for
emitting the PropertiesChanged() signal could run immediately and
clear skeleton->priv->changed_properties_idle_source causing
g_source_unref() to be called with a NULL pointer. This race was
easily be fixed by adding a lock to the skeleton object.
In addition to fixing this race, also move the code for setting up the
idle handler to a class handler for the GObject::notify signal. This
change allows use of g_object_freeze_notify() and g_object_thaw_notify()
to perform atomic property changes from another thread than the one
that the skeleton was created in.

.. and add a C setter to do this. Also make the C getter return a
reference since the property may be set from another thread. Also
change the constructor to _not_ take a GDBusConnection since this is
something you almost always want to do _after_ creating it. The
API/ABI break is fine as there has never been a GLib release with this
type.

And use this for a) documentation purposes; and b) to preserve C ABI
when an interface is extended. See
