Give the macro wrapper treatment to g_once_init_enter() and leave() in
the same style that we did for gatomic.
It is now possible to use these macros with any pointer-sized object,
and not just gsize. The leave() macro ensures that the initialisation
result is a compatible type with the pointer that it is being written
to.
Just like with gatomic, there could be problems caused by use of (void*)
casts. We'll see how that goes, and reevaluate if necessary.

Add a little bit more room in the ABI for our synchronisation primatives
since we're going to need it when we add native implementations on
Linux.
Also: rename the pointer field and add /*< private >*/ annotations.
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.

This commit moves GStaticPrivate, g_thread_foreach and all
related functions and variables to gthread-deprecated.c. We
introduce some internal API to make this possible.
g_thread_foreach is not a very useful function, since there is
virtually nothing you can do with a GThread*, and implementing
it requires us to keep a list of threads around.
GStaticPrivate has been made redundant by adding comparable
capabilities to GPrivate.

Deprecate both g_thread_create functions and add
g_thread_new() and g_thread_new_full(). The new functions
expect a name for the thread.
Change GThreadPool, GMainContext and GDBus to create named threads.

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().
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.
