Port all existing calls in GLib to the new API so that they can receive
more detailed error information (although none of them actually make use
of it at the moment).
This also serves to test the new API better through use.

This makes use of the string we now have from glib-private.h in the
last commit so that setlocale() sets the default system locale
correctly and therefore show the translated messages properly.
Fixes issue #1169.
GIO modules should include their name into their exported symbols to
make them unique. This avoids symbol clash when building modules
statically.
extract_name() function is copied from GStreamer which recently
switched to the same symbol naming scheme.

Prevent the situation where errno is set by function A, then function B
is called (which is typically _(), but could be anything else) and it
overwrites errno, then errno is checked by the caller.
errno is a horrific API, and we need to be careful to save its value as
soon as a function call (which might set it) returns. i.e. Follow the
pattern:
int errsv, ret;
ret = some_call_which_might_set_errno ();
errsv = errno;
if (ret < 0)
puts (strerror (errsv));
This patch implements that pattern throughout GLib. There might be a few
places in the test code which still use errno directly. They should be
ported as necessary. It doesn’t modify all the call sites like this:
if (some_call_which_might_set_errno () && errno == ESOMETHING)
since the refactoring involved is probably more harmful than beneficial
there. It does, however, refactor other call sites regardless of whether
they were originally buggy.

Since we're dynamically loading objects, after the g_type_init()
change, we now need to ensure people building with --as-needed don't
lose the DT_NEEDED on libgobject.

Very many testcases, some GLib tools (resource compiler, etc) and
GApplication were calling g_type_init().
Remove those uses, as they are no longer required.

If there are no modules installed then the most appropriate thing is to
have no cachefile instead of an empty one. This unbreaks the "clean
directory after 'make uninstall'" check that automake does.
