- add G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING, _BYTESTRING_ARRAY, _STRING_ARRAY
- remove g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array functions
- add g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring{,_array} functions
- remove undocumented support for deserialising arrays of objectpaths
or signature strngs using g_variant_get_strv()
- add and document new format strings '^ay', '^&ay', '^aay' and '^a&ay'
- update GApplication to use the new API
- update GSettings binding code to use the new API
- add tests
E.g. move these C structures out of public header files and into their
respective C files. Also nuke padding since this is no longer needed.
This leaves only GDBusProxy as an extendable type.

While this a dangerous thing to allow (collissions, reply_serial not
matching up etc.), the added flexibility makes this a good trade-off -
for example, with this feature, it's now a lot easier to build message
routers.

Also emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed when dropping (when the
name owner vanishes) or populating (when loading properties) the
property cache.

Note that things work exactly like libdbus, e.g. from the
dbus-launch(1) man page:
Whenever an autolaunch occurs, the application that had to start a
new bus will be in its own little world; it can effectively end up
starting a whole new session if it tries to use a lot of bus
services. This can be suboptimal or even totally broken, depending
on the app and what it tries to do.
[...]
You can always avoid autolaunch by manually setting
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS. Autolaunch happens because the default
address if none is set is "autolaunch:", so if any other address is
set there will be no autolaunch. You can however include autolaunch
in an explicit session bus address as a fallback, for example
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS="something:,autolaunch:" - in that case if
the first address doesn't work, processes will autolaunch. (The bus
address variable contains a comma-separated list of addresses to
try.)
