Add g_main_context_ref_thread_default(), which always returns a
reffed GMainContext, rather than sometimes returning a (non-reffed)
GMainContext, and sometimes returning NULL. This simplifies the
bookkeeping in any code that needs to keep a reference to the
thread-default context for a while.

Make the options from an /etc/fstab entry available as public API -
this can be used to support options such as
comment=gvfs.name=Foo\040Bar
to e.g. set the name of an fstab mount in the UI to "Foo Bar".

All locks are now zero-initialised, so we can drop the G_*_INIT macros
for them.
Adjust various users around GLib accordingly and change the docs.

Take out the half-private g_private_init() stuff and replace it with a
G_PRIVATE_INIT macro that allows specifying a GDestroyNotify.
Expose the GPrivate structure in a public header.
Add a g_private_replace() to (sort of) match the functionality of
g_static_mutex_set().
Improve the documentation.
Deprecate g_private_new().
Replace it with g_thread_create_with_stack_size() and a real function
implementation of g_thread_create().
Modify a testcase that was calling g_thread_create_full()
inappropriately (it was using the default values anyway).
Create a deprecated/ directory that we can start moving ancient chunks
of code to. Start with GAllocator, GMemChunk and related APIs.
Also drop all mention of them from the docs.

Previously, we were returning an empty buffer for all filenames
where fstat() gives a size of 0. But this is only appropriate
for regular files.
Also improve the documentation around this issue. Based on a
patch by Ryan Lortie.

The boolean values to be returned by a GSourceFunc are always ambiguous,
and even in case of experienced developers then can lead to confusion.
The Perl bindings for GLib have two simple constants, mapping to TRUE
and FALSE, that make the return values less confusing: G_SOURCE_CONTINUE
and G_SOURCE_REMOVE respectively.

Only objects and interfaces should go in here. If enums are in here
then gtk-doc responds by outputting two anchors for the same name (which
results in many warnings being printed).
Some links were broken due to typos, because functionality was removed
in GLib 2.0 or for various other reasons. Fix up as many of them as is
reasonable.
Commit ab0e9dbfa7 introduced some changes
to the documentation Makefiles designed to clean-up the process of
deciding which headers get scanned for the docs.
Unfortunately, the gtk-doc Makefile doesn't use HFILE_GLOB for actually
generating the docs -- only for knowing when it needs to redo the
generation. Because of this, we need to use IGNORE_HFILES or otherwise
we get hundreds of symbols in the *-unused.txt files.
Revert the changes that that commit made to the docs Makefiles (but
leave the generation of the *-public-headers.txt files in place).
Change the unix signal watch API to match other sources in both
available functions, names of those functions and order of the
parameters to the _full function.
