G_MODULE_SUFFIX is deprecated now because you will get the wrong
results using it most of the time:
1. The suffix on macOS is usually 'dylib', but it's 'so' when using
Autotools, so there's no way to get the suffix correct using
a pre-processor macro.
2. Prefixes also vary in a platform-specific way. You may or may not have
a 'lib' prefix for the name on Windows and on Cygwin the prefix is
'cyg'.
3. The library name itself can vary per platform. For instance, you may
want to load foo-1.dll on Windows and libfoo.1.dylib on macOS. This
is for libraries, not modules, but that is still a use-case that
people use the GModule API for.
g_module_build_path() does take care of (2) on Cygwin, but it
fundamentally cannot handle the possibility of multiple options for
the module name, since it does not do any I/O. Hence, it is also
deprecated.
Instead, g_module_open() has been improved so that it takes care of
all this by searching the filesystem for combinations of possible
suffixes and prefixes on each platform. Along the way, the
documentation for it was also improved to make it clearer what it
does.

The behaviour of `g_variant_byteswap()` is largely dominated by its call
to `g_variant_get_normal_form()`, but it does do an additional call to
`g_variant_serialised_byteswap()` which we should probably be fuzzing.

We were regressing on Python style too often. Since Python code style is
a lot easier to enforce than C code style, split it (and the shellcheck
checks) out from `style-check-diff` into a new CI job which is allowed
to fail the pipeline.
Only trigger it when .sh or .py files have changed, which should reduce
resource consumption.

Inspired by libglnx's glnx_close_fd() and glnx_autofd, these let us
have the same patterns as g_clear_object() and g_autoptr(GObject), but
for file descriptors. g_clear_fd() is cross-platform, while g_autofd
is syntactic sugar requiring a supported compiler (gcc or clang).
Now that g_close() checks for EBADF as a programming error, we can
implement the equivalent of glnx_autofd as an inline function without
needing to have errno and EBADF in the header file.
g_clear_fd() is like glnx_close_fd(), but with error checking.
The private _g_clear_fd_ignore_error() function used to implement
g_autofd is a closer equivalent of glnx_close_fd().

C99 guarantees that va_copy() exists, so use it, instead of probing
for __va_copy(), va_copy(), or a reimplementation from first principles.

There is usually no reason to use the GLib-specific type names here,
other than consistency. The GLib-specific one-word type names can
sometimes be a little more convenient when generating a family of
function names from macros.
Because these types are simple aliases for a hard-coded standard C type,
there should be no API or ABI issues caused by changing existing code to
use the standard C names: a `char **` can already be used interchangeably
with `gchar **`, and name-mangling for a C++ method that takes an `int`
parameter is equivalent to a `gint` parameter.

Introduce support for terminals executing commands without an option,
i.e., the command is passed directly as argument to the terminal emulator.
This is needed for xdg-terminal-exec.
Get rid of multiple conditionals branch by using a loop and storing the
options needed by particular terminal emulators directly in an array.
Remove intermediate variable term_argv as we don't need it.
Advantages:
- simpler logic, less branching
- the terminal emulator list is more readable, by virtue of being
condensed in one array. Launch options to execute a terminal program
are also more explicitly specified
- the logic become independent from the order
- one less allocation
The gversionmacros.h header is referenced from glib/, so it needs to go
into glib's include directory, not in the top-level alongside glib.h,
glib-object.h, gmodule.h, and glib-unix.h.
The function adjusting private struct size to private struct offset
should be `g_type_class_adjust_private_offset`, instead of the
previously misspelled `g_type_class_add_instance_private` in comment.
Fixes#2791
