Meson has the ability to classify tests according to "suites", a list of
tags. This is especially useful when we want to run specific sets of
tests — e.g. only GLib's tests — instead of the whole test suite. It
also allows us to classify special tests, like "slow" ones, so that we
can only run them when needed.
-export-dynamic is a libtool flag. It is also supported by GCC as an
undocumented flag, but it is not supported by Clang. Since we don't use
libtool in meson, we should use -Wl,--export-dynamic instead.
On non-glibc platforms gettext is provided by extra libintl dependency.
We wrongly thought libintl is an internal dependency and applications
needs to explicitly link on it, but turns out that breaks many
applications and with autotools the .pc generated actually has -lintl in
public "Libs:".

This fix undefined symbol link error when building for non-glibc
platform. Applications must link on libintl, it is not a public
dependency of libglib.
On glibc platforms libintl is a not found dependency and is just ignored
by meson, so it doesn't hurt to always have it.

When using g_network_monitor_get_default() from another thread, it’s
possible for network-changed events to be processed after an instance of
GNetworkMonitor has been disposed, causing use-after-free problems.
Fix that by moving some of the initialisation into the GInitable.init()
chain, rather than in a main context idle callback.
This includes a unit test which probabilistically reproduces the bug
(but can’t do so deterministically due to it being a race condition).

In order to enrich information displayed by GApplication command line
handling when --help is invoked, 3 new methods are proposed:
. g_application_set_option_context_parameter_string
. g_application_set_option_context_summary
. g_application_set_option_context_description
Those methods interact with the GApplication's internal GOptionContext
which is created for command line parsing in g_application_parse_command_line.
(please refer to the GOptionContext class for more information about option
context, parameter string, summary and description.)
To illustrate the 3 methods, an example is provided:
. gapplication-example-cmdline4.c
This is needed by gnome-control-center and gnome-settings-daemon; it
makes existing checks from gunixmounts.c public.

Add testcase for function g_file_query_filesystem_info()
reporting outdated info for "filesystem::readonly" attribute
when said attribute was different in a previous mounted
partition in the same device (as GIO maintains a mounts cache
per 'st_dev' stat() member).
To trigger a mount operation, testcase uses program 'bindfs'
instead of 'mount --bind' as bindfs does not require root
privileges. And 'fusermount -u' command is used to unmount said
bindfs mount.
As a reference in Fedora, 'bindfs' is installed from 'bindfs'
package and 'fusermount' from 'fuse' package (this one is installed
by default as being part of 'System Tools' group).
The test creates a directory with a file in it, then mounts it
readonly over another directory (the mountpoint), it then checks
that g_file_query_filesystem_info() for the file in it indeed reports
"filesystem::readonly" as TRUE. Then unmounts and mounts again this
time rw (not readonly), it then checks again if g_file_query_filesystem_info()
is reporting "filesystem::readonly" as TRUE, if that's the case, it
confirms the bug by opening said file in write mode.
Testcase is only added for Unix builds.

Some of the dependencies' build systems for Visual Studio do not provide a
pkg-config file upon build, so we use find_library() for them when the
corresponding pkg-config files are not found during Visual Studio builds,
so that one will not need to make up pkg-config files for them, which
could be error-prone. These .lib names match the names that are built
with the officially supported build system that is used by their
respective Visual Studio support.
For ZLib, this will make gio-2.0.pc reflect on the zlib .lib based on
what is found, or whether we use the fallback/bundled ZLib, when we
don't have a pkg-config file for ZLib on MSVC. We still need to depend
on Meson to be updated to put the correct link argument for linking ZLib
in the pkg-config case.

With meson from git dependencies of dependencies are no
longer added automatically and recursively to the linker
lines. Meaning dependencies that are used have to be
passed directly and explicitly or we'll get linker errors.
Need to fix up some of the tests a little, because the
test binary will not necessarily be run from the current
build sub-directory, and the build directory structure
might not always be a mirror of the source directory
structure, so pass location of glib-mkenums and
glib-compile-scheme and such directly.
giomodule test needed symbol visibility pragmas added. This is needed on
Windows anyway, so it's better to do it this way rather than disabling
-fvisibility=hidden for the test modules.
Disable gio tests on Windows, fix .gitignore to not ignore
config.h.meson, and add more things to it.
Rename the library file naming and versioning to match what Autotools
outputs, e.g., libglib-2.0.so.0.5000.2 on Linux, libglib-2.0-0.dll and
glib-2.0-0.dll on Windows with MSVC.
Several more tiny fixes, more executables built and installed, install
pkg-config and m4 files, fix building of gobject tests.
Changes to gdbus-codegen to support out-of-tree builds without
environment variables set (which you can't in Meson). We now add the
build directory to the Python module search path.
