18a33f72db introspection: use (nullable) or (optional) instead of (allow-none)
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.

04bbf9df37 gdatagrambased: Clarify that connection-oriented ≠ stream-based
GDatagramBased allows connection-oriented and connection-less sockets,
but does not allow stream-based sockets (because it’s datagram-based).
So it supports SCTP and UDP, but not TCP.

Clarify that in the documentation, and people sometimes confuse
connection-oriented with stream-based, due to the prevalence of TCP.

4e631d2e5f gio: Add GDatagramBased interface and rebase GSocket on it
GDatagramBased is an interface abstracting datagram-based communications
in the style of the Berkeley sockets API. It may be contrasted to (for
example) GIOStream, which supports only streaming I/O.

GDatagramBased allows socket-like communications to be done through any
object, not just a concrete GSocket (which wraps socket()).

This adds the GDatagramBased interface, and implements it in GSocket.
