the GObject docs cover-to-cover might expect.

It's been 4 years and 8 development cycles since we introduced
G_ADD_PRIVATE and offset-based private data access. It is now
time to finally deprecate the old mechanism.
Closes: #699
The -fstack-protector-strong used in many distributions by default has a
rather drastic slowdown of the fast path in generated _get_type()
functions using G_DEFINE_* macros. The amount can vary by architecture,
GCC version, and compiler flags.
To work around this, and ensure a higher probability that our fast-path
will match what we had previously, we need to break out the slow-path
(registering the type) into a secondary function that is not a candidate
for inlining.
This ensures that the common case (type registered, return the GType id)
is the hot path and handled in the prologue of the generated assembly even
when -fstack-protector-strong is enabled.

The *_init() functions have prototypes incompatible with *InitFunc types they
are being cast to. This upsets GCC 8's -Wcast-function-type that's enabled by
default with -Wextra.
Let's not have the public header files emit a warning and neutralize it by
doing a void(*)(void) cast first.

Conceptually, these functions clearly ought to be fine for a const
structure. This avoids _G_TYPE_CVH (the implementation of
G_TYPE_CHECK_VALUE_TYPE, G_VALUE_HOLDS, G_VALUE_HOLDS_BOXED etc.)
needing to cast to a mutable GValue, which causes
G_VALUE_HOLDS (cv, type) to issue warnings under gcc -Wcast-qual if
cv is a const GValue *.

The macros differ in their handling of NULL values — some macros ignore
them and pass through (e.g. G_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE_CAST) while others
will explicitly emit a warning if passed NULL (e.g.
G_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE).
Document their behaviour, so people don’t end up putting unnecessary
NULL checks in their code when doing checked type casts.

This reverts commit a3a9664ed2.
Constifying the autogenerated get_instance_private functio makes C++
compilers and GCC with -Wcast-qual warn during compilation of GLib and
projects depending on GLib.
Since using const with GObject instances is not a common coding
practice, it's better to revert than trying to make every sigle GType
function const-safe (and possibly add more compiler warnings in the
process).

Add various (nullable) and (optional) annotations which were missing
from a variety of functions. Also port a couple of existing (allow-none)
annotations in the same files to use (nullable) and (optional) as
appropriate instead.
Secondly, add various (not nullable) annotations as needed by the new
default in gobject-introspection of marking gpointers as (nullable). See
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=729660.
This includes adding some stub documentation comments for the
assertion macro error functions, which weren’t previously documented.
The new comments are purely to allow for annotations, and hence are
marked as (skip) to prevent the symbols appearing in the GIR file.

Use the (private) _GLIB_DEFINE_AUTOPTR_CHAINUP macro for
G_DECLARE_DERIVABLE_TYPE and G_DECLARE_FINAL_TYPE so that we will
attempt to typedef and define items necessary for GCC
__attribute__((cleanup)) on, well, GCC only.
This fixes the build on non-GCC.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=743640
Automatically add support for the new cleanup macros to the type
declaration macros.
This is an API break because now your parent class needs to support
cleanup if you want to use G_DECLARE_*_TYPE. These macros are only 1
day old, however, so that's probably not a big problem (and we are
already busy adding the macros all over GLib and Gtk+).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=743640
Add G_DECLARE_DERIVABLE_TYPE() and G_DECLARE_FINAL_TYPE() to allow
skipping almost all of the typical GObject boilerplate code.
These macros make some assumptions about GObject best practice that mean
that they may not be usable with older classes that have to preserve
API/ABI compatibility with a time before these practices existed.

On initialisation, GObject guarantees to zero-fill

Apple's GCC compilers cannot deal well with 64-bit pointers in
transparent unions on ppc64, so compilation of
_G_DEFINE_BOXED_TYPE_BEGIN was failing. Fortunately glib already
provides a fallback for compilers that can't deal with it; this adds
this specific case to the check.

When using the GLIB_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED macro to define the upper bound
of allowed API the G_DEFINE_TYPE_EXTENDED starts warning about the newly
added g_type_class_adjust_private_offset() function; this effectively
introduces a run-time dependency on GLib 2.38 even if we don't use its
API explicitly.

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.
