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.

Very many testcases, some GLib tools (resource compiler, etc) and
GApplication were calling g_type_init().
Remove those uses, as they are no longer required.

Many (if not "almost all") programs that spawn other programs via
g_spawn_sync() or the like simply want to check whether or not the
child exited successfully, but doing so requires use of
platform-specific functionality and there's actually a fair amount of
boilerplate involved.
This new API will help drain a *lot* of mostly duplicated code in
GNOME, from gnome-session to gdm. And we can see that some bits even
inside GLib were doing it wrong; for example checking the exit status
on Unix, but ignoring it on Windows.
