Correct the info on G_PLATFORM_WIN32, now that we only define it when
GLib is built for native Windows, not Cygwin. Make it clear that it
should not be used to check for conditional compilation for Cygwin
builds of GLib.
clang++ says it supports _Static_assert but then will
complain that it's a C11 extension and that you should not use
it in C++ code (which imho is fair enough)
So try to detect a C++ compiler first and then the C compiler,
similarly to what is done for the G_NORETURN case
Previously, `-Wl,--export-dynamic` was in `Libs` key of `gmodule-2.0.pc`,
even though `-Wl` is a compiler flag, rather than a linker one.
This caused issues with API reference builds in evolution-data-server,
which passes the output of `pkg-config --libs` through `--ldflags`
argument of `gtkdoc-scan`, which are forwarded unchanged to `ld`:
ld: unrecognized option '-Wl,--export-dynamic'
Let’s move the flag to `Cflags` so that the compiler can deal with it.

proxy-libintl defines ngettext() as a define in the header that points
to the actual symbol in the library which is g_libintl_ngettext().
Same with bind_textdomain_codeset().
Create the wakeup pipe using the `O_NONBLOCK` flag for `pipe2()`, where
possible.
This saves a couple of `fcntl()` syscalls every time a wakeup pipe is
created, which is at least once per `GMainContext`.
This uses the `O_NONBLOCK` support added to `g_unix_open_pipe()` in the
previous commit.

Add support for it, but don’t use it anywhere yet — this is an API
addition, but currently doesn’t cause any functional changes. It’ll be
used in the next commit.

The `inotify_init1()` API has supported this flag for a long time
(possibly since it was first introduced, although I haven’t bothered
doing the archaeology).
This saves a syscall when first connecting to inotify.

Both `GPollableInputStream` and `GPollableOutputStream` are dynamic
interfaces, in that their implementation on a class may only be
functional if certain prerequisites are met at runtime. For example,
a `GConverterInputStream` is only pollable if its base stream is
pollable, and that’s determined at runtime rather than compile time.
As such, both interfaces have a `can_poll()` method. If that method
returns `FALSE`, the behaviour of all other methods on the interface is
undefined.
That was mentioned in the documentation for `can_poll()`, but not any of
the other documentation for the interfaces, which made it a bit hard to
find.
Mention it more widely.

If the libc and kernel support `SOCK_NONBLOCK`, we can specify that in
the `socket()` flags, and avoid a subsequent call to `fcntl()` to set
`O_NONBLOCK`.
For modern Linux distributions, this will save a syscall when creating a
socket.

This should split the code up into logical blocks a bit better, and make

This makes the exit conditions for each main loop clearer, and
eliminates use of global variables. It introduces no functional changes.

If the first part of the test takes less than 3s (which is normal), the
timeout for it is not removed, and could spuriously fire during the
second part of the test, causing a false failure.
Instead of relying on source IDs, just use (and explicitly destroy) a
`GSource` for the timeouts.

The test thought that calling `g_app_info_get()` was a bit of a hack,
but actually it (or calling another `g_app_info_*()` function) is the
right way to use the `GAppInfoMonitor` API.
See the documentation improvements a couple of commits back for details.
The remaining FIXME higher up in the test should probably be fixed by
getting `g_app_info_monitor_get()` to arm the signal. That requires
changes in `g_app_info_monitor_get()` to call `desktop_file_dir_init()`.
That will have to happen another time.

It hasn’t been used for years, and isn’t really needed since we changed
to explicitly exporting symbols (using `GLIB_AVAILABLE_IN_*`) rather than
implicitly exporting them unless they were hidden.

This partially reverts ed8e86a7d4.
The change to add the criticals (commit ed8e86a7d4) is correct, but
landed too late in the cycle. Let’s downgrade the criticals to debugs
for now, to stop applications seeing a lot of new criticals in their
output. Those criticals are particularly disruptive for command line
applications and unit tests.
Early in the next cycle, the debugs will be re-upgraded to criticals.
This will give applications a whole additional cycle to fix their
ambiguous use of API.
It turned out that a lot of applications have latent bugs around
calling `g_file_info_get_*()` without checking whether an attribute
is set first, and were hence relying on the ‘unknown’ return value
also being an appropriate default for them.
This was compounded by the fact that several non-local GVFS backends
were not setting `GFileInfo` attributes all the time, which caused the
‘missing attribute’ code path to be hit more frequently. For example,
they would only call `g_file_info_set_is_hidden()` with a true value and
never bother with a false one.
It was further compounded by the fact that, while this change landed for
the 2.75.4 release, there did not seem to be extensive integration
testing of that release, and distributions and downstreams went straight
to 2.76.0. That meant we missed the window between 2.75.4 and 2.76.0 to
change, fix or revert this behaviour. GLib relies on distros and
downstreams doing integration testing of unstable releases. We test with
downstream GNOME as part of gnome-build-meta, but do not have the
resources to do integration testing for everybody.

Before commit ed8e86a7d4, this function would have silently returned a
zero-valued `GTimeVal` if the correct attributes weren’t present.
That partially regressed in commit ed8e86a7d4, which made it return with
a critical warning, but without zeroing the `GTimeVal`. The critical
warning can be ignored by users (it doesn’t abort the process unless
`G_DEBUG=fatal-criticals` is set), but the change in behaviour of
zeroing the `GTimeVal` could cause bugs.
