ext3 and ext4 (for quite some time) with default mount options don't
need fsync() to ensure safety of replace-by-rename. Stop doing that for
these filesystems.
Note: this patch also impacts ext2, which is probably not safe, but I
don't know of any way to check ext2. vs the others because they all have
the same magic numbers (short of opening /proc/mount).
This patch assumes that if BTRFS_SUPER_MAGIC is defined then so will be
EXT3_SUPER_MAGIC.

Use a normal write() system call instead of fdopen() and fwrite().
This will definitely work on UNIX system and should work on Windows as
well...
As an added bonus, we can use g_close() now as well.

g_file_set_contents() sets a GError in the event of various failures
that count occur. It uses g_filename_display_name() in order to get the
filename to include in the messages.
Factor out the error handling to make it easier to allocate the display
name only when we need it (instead of allocating it every time).

Extents-based filesystems like knowing in advance how much data will be
written to a file in order to prevent fragmentation. If we have it, use
posix_fallocate() before writing data in g_file_set_contents().

It is possible that the upstream servers return something, but
we then filter all results because they are of the wrong type.
In that case the API and subsequent GTask calls expect a GError
to be set.

Update G_LOG_DOMAIN to be "GLib-GObject" so that we are consistent with
the autotools builds, and that tests expecting the log domain to be
"GLib-GObject" would not fail.
Define the G_LOG_DOMAIN of the GLib DLL as "GLib", because:
-This makes it consistent with the autotools builds
-Some tests expect the log domain to be "GLib"
Ryan accidentally committed some debugging code a long time ago,
causing this file to always use futex emulation even when real futex
support was available. I noticed this a while later and pointed it out
to him, and assumed he was going to fix it, but I guess he assumed I
was going to fix it, and then neither of us did...

The GError should be initialized to NULL, otherwise we'll
"pile up" errors, then try to free an uninitialized pointer.

This partially reverts commit ce0022933c255313e010b27f977f4ae02aad1e7e.
It used to be safe to use g_spawn_sync() from processes that had their
own SIGCHLD handler because it simply called wait(). When it was
changed to depend on the GLib child watching infrastructure this meant
that GLib had to own the SIGCHLD handler.
This caused hangs in at least Pidgin.
The patch contained two other improvements to the child watch code which
we want to keep, so only revert the changes to gspawn itself.

gtk# also has a problem with the new interface-after-init restriction
that nobody noticed until now. Add an exception for them as well so
that they have a cycle or so to sort things out.

glibmm has a pretty difficult-to-solve problem caused by our recent
change to deny addition of interfaces to classes after initialisation.
They're looking for a long-term workaround for the problem, but in the
meantime we can allow the registration to succeed (with warning) if the
class looks like it's being defined by gtkmm.
