Suppress the cached charset from `g_get_charset()`, and widen the
suppression of the global random number `GRand` instance, since it can
be used outside test cases.

Fixes: #2134
An extra argument to g_win32_registry_key_get_value_w() and
g_win32_registry_key_get_value() indicates that RegLoadMUIStringW()
should be used instead of RegQueryValueExW(). It only works on
strings, and automatically resolves resource strings (the ones
that start with "@").
The extra argument is needed to find resource DLLs that are only
specified by their relative name.
If a transient worker thread calls it, the allocated memory is
definitely leaked when the thread exits. That’s intentional.

It's currently marked only as reachable but Valgrind also finds it as
possible:

Mark all the memcheck leaks as ‘reachable’, so the suppressions will not
apply if that memory is no longer reachable on exit(). This feature was
introduced in Valgrind 3.9, and is documented here:

Various memory allocations are still reachable when a process exits, as
they contain type system information which can’t be unloaded. Suppress
those using `glib.supp`.

Closes: #1879
There are some cases where valgrind turns up leaks that are already
suppressed in the file, but with a slight difference at the top of the
stack. Add suppressions for these cases as well.
This is a wrapper around g_private_set() which allocates the desired
amount of memory for the caller and calls g_private_set() on it.
This is intended to make it easier to suppress Valgrind warnings about
leaked memory, since g_private_set() is typically used to make one-time
per-thread allocations. We can now just add a blanket suppression rule
for any allocations inside g_private_set_alloc0().

Add a new internal function, g_set_user_dirs(), which will safely
override the values returned by g_get_user_data_dir() and friends, and
the value returned by g_get_home_dir().
This is intended to be used by unit tests, and will be hooked up to them
in a following commit.
This can be called as many times as needed by the current process. It’s
thread-safe. It does not modify the environment, so none of the changes
are propagated to any subsequently spawned subprocesses.

Split out the code which calculates each XDG variable value from the
code which caches it, so that GLib can internally recalculate the
variables if needed, without necessarily trashing the user-visible
cache.
This will be useful in a following commit to add support for explicitly
reloading the variables.
This commit necessarily reworks how g_get_user_runtime_dir() is
structured, since it was inexplicably structured differently from (but
equivalently to) the other XDG variable functions.
Future refactoring could easily share a lot more code between these
g_build_*() functions.

Sometimes valgrind doesn’t count the calloc() call at the innermost
stack frame, and counts it as g_type_create_instance() instead.

These were spotted by running the entire test suite under valgrind,
thanks to the magic of Meson: see the build rules in valgrind-x86_64 in

Valgrind will check that the third argument to ioctl() is a valid
pointer, but some ioctls interpret that argument as an integer, and that
is the case here (it's a file descriptor), so this is a false positive.

While we cannot get Valgrind to automatically load this suppression file
for applications which link to GLib
(https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=160905), we can at least install
it on systems in a shared directory, so that developers can use a
standardised (and up-to-date) suppressions file for GLib, rather than
rolling their own.
The file will typically be installed to:
/usr/share/glib-2.0/valgrind/glib.supp
Distributors: it is recommended that this suppression file be installed
as part of the development package for GLib in your distribution.
