It adds support for source-specific multicast IGMPv3.
Allow receiving data only from a specified source when joining
a multicast group.
g_socket_join_multicast_group_ssm can be called multiple times
to allow receiving data from more than one source.
Support IPv4 and IPv6.
Fixes https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=740791
Add support for receiving multiple messages with a single system call,
using recvmmsg() if available. Otherwise, fall back to looping over
g_socket_receive_message().
This adds new API, g_socket_receive_messages(), and corresponding unit
tests.

Allows sending of multiple messages (packets, datagrams)
in one go using sendmmsg(), thus drastically reducing the
number of syscalls when sending out a lot of data, or when
sending out the same data to multiple recipients.

Add the GLIB_AVAILABLE_IN_ALL annotation to all old functions (that
haven't already been annotated with the GLIB_AVAILABLE_IN_* macros or a
deprecation macro).
If we discover in the future that we cannot use only one macro on
Windows, it will be an easy sed patch to fix that.

Add g_socket_get_option() and g_socket_set_option(), wrapping
getsockopt/setsockopt for the case of integer-valued options. Update
code to use these instead of the underlying calls.

Previously if a GSocketConnection had a blocking GSocket, it would
sometimes block during asynchonous I/O, and if it had a non-blocking
socket, it would sometimes return G_IO_ERROR_WOULD_BLOCK from
synchronous I/O. This fixes the connection to not depend on the socket
state.

- Make GCredentials instance and class structures private so it can't
be subclassed and we don't have to worry about ABI compat
issues. This also allows us to get rid of the GCredentialsPrivate
struct.
- Add a GCredentialsType enumeration that is used whenever exchanging
pointers with the user. This allows us to support OSes with
multiple native credential types. In particular, it allows
supporting OSes where the native credential evolves or even changes
over time.
- Add g_socket_get_credentials() method.
- Add tests for g_socket_get_credentials(). Right now this is in the
GDBus peer-to-peer test case but we can change that later.
- Move GTcpConnection into a separate gtk-doc page as was already
half-done with GUnixConnection. Also finish the GUnixConnection
move and ensure send_credentials() and receive_credentials()
methods are in the docs. Also nuke comment about GTcpConnection
being empty compared to its superclass.

Currently, to implement cancellability correctly, all synchronous
calls to GSocket must be preceded by a g_socket_condition_wait() call,
(even though GSocket does this internally as well) and all
asynchronous calls must do occasional manual
g_cancellable_is_cancelled() checks. Since it's trivial to do these
checks inside GSocket instead, and we don't particularly want to
encourage people to use the APIs non-cancellably, move the
cancellation support into GSocket and simplify the existing callers.

The whole protocol name thing is pretty weird. The getprotobyname functions
seem to only specify one mapping for name <-> ids, so all families/types
must use the same values. Plus the values used for the protocols are
standardized by IANA, so are always the same.
So, we drop using names for protocols, intead introducing an enum with
a few commonly availible and used protocols.
We want to use the protocol id for lookup in the GSocketConnection
code, so we expose it. We also make GSocket store the protocol
as an int for less memory use and to allow platform specific protocols
to be specified.
Also added g_socket_protocol_id_lookup_by_name() to allow the higher
level code to specify the name by string, and g_socket_get_protocol_name()
to get it.
This adds:
GInitable - failable object constructor interface
GAsyncInitable - async failable object constructor interface
GSocket - Platform independent lowlevel berkely socket style object
GSocketControlMessage - For passing control messages over GSocket
GUnixFDMessage - unix fd passing socket control message
Some changes were done during the import from gnio to make things
work in glib. For instance, types were moved to other headers, header
file boiler plate were updated to glib style and gio.symbols stuff
was added.
