Back in the far-off twentieth century, it was normal on unix
workstations for U+0060 GRAVE ACCENT to be drawn as "‛" and for U+0027
APOSTROPHE to be drawn as "’". This led to the convention of using
them as poor-man's ‛smart quotes’ in ASCII-only text.
However, "'" is now universally drawn as a vertical line, and "`" at a
45-degree angle, making them an `odd couple' when used together.
Unfortunately, there are lots of very old strings in glib, and also
lots of new strings in which people have kept up the old tradition,
perhaps entirely unaware that it used to not look stupid.
Fix this by just using 'dumb quotes' everywhere.

Add support for serialising a GIcon to a GVariant and deserialising the
result back to a GIcon.
This solves a number of problems suffered by the existing to_string()
API, primarily these:
- not forcing the icon to be a utf8 string means that we can
efficiently encode a PNG (ie: just give the array of bytes)
- there is no need to ensure that proper types are loaded before using
the deserialisation interface. 'Foreign' icon types will probably
emit a serialised format the deserialises to a GBytesIcon.
We additionally clearly document what is required for being a consumer
or implementation of #GIcon.
Further patches will be required to GdkPixbuf and GVfsIcon to bring
their implementations in line with the new rules (essentially: introduce
implementations of the new serialize() API).

Split out the 'simple string format' cases of URIs, file paths and
themed icons to a separate function.
This function will be shared by g_icon_deserialize().
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=688820
Note: Since we export types with Iface in the name rather than
Interface we have to use some typedefs to make this work. New
interfaces should probably use Interface as the public name.
