Add a new GDtlsConnection interface, plus derived GDtlsClientConnection
and GDtlsServerConnection interfaces, for implementing Datagram TLS
support in glib-networking.
A GDtlsConnection is a GDatagramBased, so may be used as a normal
datagram socket, wrapping all datagrams from a base GDatagramBased in
DTLS segments.
Test cases are included in the implementation in glib-networking.

GDatagramBased is an interface abstracting datagram-based communications
in the style of the Berkeley sockets API. It may be contrasted to (for
example) GIOStream, which supports only streaming I/O.
GDatagramBased allows socket-like communications to be done through any
object, not just a concrete GSocket (which wraps socket()).
This adds the GDatagramBased interface, and implements it in GSocket.

GListModel is an interface that represents a dynamic list of GObjects.
Also add GListStore, a simple implementation of GListModel that stores
all objects in memory, using a GSequence.

There are a number of nice things this class brings:
0) Has a race-free termination API on all platforms (on UNIX, calls to
kill() and waitpid() are coordinated as not to cause problems).
1) Operates in terms of G{Input,Output}Stream, not file descriptors
2) Standard GIO-style async API for wait() with cancellation
3) Makes some simple cases easy, like synchronously spawning a
process with an argument list
4) Makes hard cases possible, like asynchronously running a process
with stdout/stderr merged, output directly to a file path

Add a new type of GAction that represents the value of a property on an
object. As an example, this might be used on the "visible-child-name"
property of a GtkStack.

GBytesIcon is an icon that has a GBytes inside of it where the GBytes
contains some sort of encoded image in a widely-recognised file format.
Ideally this will be a PNG.
It implements GLoadableIcon, so GTK will already understand how to use
it, but we will add another patch there to make things more efficient.

Add GSimpleProxyResolver, for letting people do static proxy
resolution, and to use as a base class for other resolvers (such as
GProxyResolverGnome).

GTask is a replacement for GSimpleAsyncResult and GIOScheduler, that
also allows for making cancellable wrappers around non-cancellable
functions (as in GThreadedResolver).

Move g_pollable_source_new() here from gpollableinputstream.c, add
g_pollable_source_new_full(), and add some new methods to do either
blocking or nonblocking reads depending on a boolean argument.

GResource is a bundle of files combined into a single binary blog.
The API lets you access the files the resource contains by
using resource paths. You can also register resources with a
global list and access these globally in a merged resource namespace.
The normal way this is used is to link in the resources into your
application/library and have it be automatically registred.
Resources are compiled from an xml description using
glib-compile-resources.
This interfaceifies the extra functions that were on GDBusActionGroup
for dealing with platform data.
The two main benefits of doing this:
- no longer have to do a silly song and dance in GApplication to avoid
calling GDBusActionGroup API from non-dbus-aware code
- the interface can be reused by the action group exporter to avoid
ugly and unbindable hook callbacks

Add GNetworkMonitor and its associated extension point, provide a base
implementation that always claims the network is available, and a
netlink-based implementation built on top of that that actually tracks
the network state.

The main rationale for adding it was to avoid having gnome-shell
mmap'ing /etc/localtime once a second. However, we can just as easily
run inotify there, and given no one else was clamoring for a way to
detect when the time zone changes, I don't see a need for public API
here - at least not yet.
In the bigger picture, I just don't believe that the vast majority of
applications are going to go out of their way to instantiate and keep
around a random GTimeZoneMonitor class. And if they do, it's has the
side effect that for other bits of code in the process, local GDateTime
instances may start varying again!
So, if code can't rely on local GDateTime instances being in a
consistent state anyways, let's just do that always. The
documentation now says that this is the case. Applications have
always been able to work in a consistent local time zone by
instantiating a zone and then using it for GDateTime constructors.
We fix the "gnome-shell stats /etc/localtime once a second" issue by
using timerfd (in glib) and inotify (in gnome-shell).

The database is an abstract object implemented by the various TLS
backends, which is used by GTlsConnection to lookup certificates
and keys, as well as verify certificate chains.
Also add GTlsInteraction, which can be used to prompt the user
for a password or PIN (used with the database).

The necessary review and integration work has not happened, and
we don't want to enshrine it in this unproven state.
It will be back when the world is ready for it.
This adds an extension point for TLS connections to gio, with a
gnutls-based implementation in glib-networking.
Full TLS support is still a work in progress; the current API is
missing some features, and parts of it may still be changed before
2.28.

GProxyConnection is a class that was added for proxy support;
g_socket_client_connect() returns a GSocketConnection, but in some
cases (eg, encrypted SOCKS), GProxy might return a GIOStream that is
not a GSocketConnection. In that case, GSocketClient would wrap the
stream up in a GProxyConnection, which is a subclass of
GSocketConnection but uses the input/output streams of the wrapped
connection.
GTlsConnection is not a GSocketConnection, so it has the same problem,
so it will need the same treatment. Rename the class to
GTcpWrapperStream, and make it public, so people can extract the base
stream from it when necessary.
(This is not ideal and GSocketClient will need to be revisited as an
API at some point...)

When interfacing with APIs that expect unix-style async I/O, it is
useful to be able to tell in advance whether a read/write is going to
block. This adds new interfaces GPollableInputStream and
GPollableOutputStream that can be implemented by a GInputStream or
GOutputStream to add _is_readable/_is_writable, _create_source, and
_read_nonblocking/_write_nonblocking methods.
Also, implement for GUnixInput/OutputStream and
GSocketInput/OutputStream
