Following on from #978, it seems that #1232 is another instance of the
same problem: signals emitted across threads can’t guarantee their user
data is kept alive between committing to emitting the signal and
actually invoking the callback in the relevant thread.
Fix that by using weak refs to the `GDBusObjectManagerClient` as the
user data for its signals, rather than no refs. Strong refs would create
an unbreakable reference count cycle.

Using the generic marshaller has drawbacks beyond performance. One such
drawback is that it breaks the stack unwinding from the Linux kernel due
to having unsufficient data to walk past ffi_call_unixt64. That means that
performance profiling by application developers looks grouped among
seemingly unrelated code paths.
While we can't fix the kernel unwinding here, we can provide proper
c_marshallers and va_marshallers for objects within Gio so that
performance profiling of applications is more reliable.

priv->map_object_path_to_object_proxy must be protected to avoid
concurrent access by multiple threads. Move the hash table insertion

It's unnecessary, and only adds visual noise; we have been fairly
inconsistent in the past, but the semi-colon-less version clearly
dominates in the code base.

If we have an input parameter (or return value) we need to use (nullable).
However, if it is an (inout) or (out) parameter, (optional) is sufficient.
It looks like (nullable) could be used for everything according to the
Annotation documentation, but (optional) is more specific.
When establishing a D-Bus connection failed, g_dbus_object_manager_client_finalize()
calls g_object_ref(manager->priv->connection) when that pointer is NULL,
which is considered and logged as error by glib.

D-Bus versions < 1.6.18 (i.e. all current versions) have a bug with the
path_namespace='/' match rule key. It should conceptually match everything,
but actually matches nothing. This results in no property change (or other)
signals being forwarded to the D-Bus client.
The work-around implemented in GDBusObjectManagerClient is to remove the
path_namespace match key if its value is ‘/’.
For the upstream D-Bus bug, see:

As it turns out, we have examples of internal functions called
type_name_get_private() in the wild (especially among older libraries),
so we need to use a name for the per-instance private data getter
function that hopefully won't conflict with anything.
If we don't connect to the control proxy's 'g-signal' signal, we won't have
'object-added' or 'object-removed' signals. So, connect to the 'g-signal' not
only when there already is a name-owner, but always.

If the GDBusObjectManagerClient doesn't get a name owner during its lifetime,
`on_control_proxy_g_signal' will never be connected to any signal, so we
shouldn't dump any warning in that case.

This is needed because the proxy may need to update its internal state
which a signal handler connected to the manager may rely on.

To help cross compilation, don't use glib-genmarshal in our
build. This is easy now that we have g_cclosure_marshal_generic().
In gobject/, add gmarshal.[ch] to git (making the existing entry
points stubs).
In gio/, simply switch to using g_cclosure_marshal_generic().
