Add a pair of functions for returning strings that don't need to be
freed. This is a bit of a hack but it will turn the 99% case of using
these functions from:
gchar *tmp;
tmp = g_test_build_filename (...);
fd = open (tmp, ...);
g_free (tmp);
to:
fd = open (g_test_get_filename (...), ...);
which is a pretty substantial win.

Both g_[file|bytes]_icon_load() leave the `type' out parameter
untouched, while the async methods g_[file|bytes]_icon_load_finish()
always set it to NULL.
For consistency's sake NULLify it in the sync methods too.

Update G_LOG_DOMAIN to be "GLib-GObject" so that we are consistent with
the autotools builds, and that tests expecting the log domain to be
"GLib-GObject" would not fail.
Define the G_LOG_DOMAIN of the GLib DLL as "GLib", because:
-This makes it consistent with the autotools builds
-Some tests expect the log domain to be "GLib"
We previously hold a lock in the loop that collects the arguments for
g_signal_emit(), which we drop before calling into the argument
collection functions and reacquire again at the bottom of the loop (ie:
one release/acquire pair for each argument collected). To make matters
worse, the lock is just released again after the loop.
Presumably that was done to protect the access to the parameter array,
but it's pretty unlikely that this is needed because the only way it
changes is if the signal is unloaded. That only happens when unloading
types which is quite unlikely to happen while we are emitting on an
instance of that type (and, as an aside, never happens anymore anyway).
If we move the unlock below the loop up above it and remove the
acquire/release pair from the loop, we improve performance in the new
arg-collecting performance tests by ~15% (more like ~18% in the case
where we only emit to one handler -- where argument collection dominates
more).

While those strings ("Expecting 1 control message, got %d" and
"Expecting one fd, but got %d\n") have same singular/plural form
in english, it is not necessarily the case in other languages.

It's a recipe for race conditions and error; on some hardware
architectures one thread isn't guaranteed to see the results
of writes from another thread without a cache flush.

Windows doesn't define STDOUT_FILENO and STDERR_FILENO, and they're
not even guaranteed to be 1 and 2. So just use stdio instead. Also fix
a counting error. Pointed out on gtk-devel-list.
The test /gdbus/connection/large_message waits for a dbus name to appear.
The dbus name is created by a another process executed in the background.
If for some reason this fails, the test will likely wait forever.
This will avoid this situation by making the test fail if the dbus service
has not appeared after 10 seconds.

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.
