when they don't need to.

On closer reading of `man 3 timezone`, it’s actually permissible for
`TZ` to contain an absolute path which points to a tzfile file outside
the system time zone database. This is indeed what happens when building
GLib under Fedora’s toolbox, so relax that check in the tests.

There are a lot of Unix-like systems which have not implemented the
os-release spec. On such system, we can use POSIX uname function as a
fallback to get basic information of the system.
/etc/os-release is a spec designed for Linux. While other OSes can
implement it, it doesn't make sense to use Linux as the default value
on systems which don't use Linux.
Previously we were keeping a pointer to the `GFileMonitor` in a
`GFileMonitorSource` instance, but since we weren’t keeping a strong
reference, that `GFileMonitor` instance could be finalised from another
thread at any point while the source was referring to it. Not good.
Use a weak reference, and upgrade it to a strong reference whenever the
`GFileMonitorSource` is referring to the file monitor.

It’s not enough to unref the monitor, since the GLib worker thread might
still hold a reference to it.

`DesktopFileDir` pointers are passed around between threads: they are
initially created on the main thread, but a pointer to them is passed to
the GLib worker thread in the file monitor callback
(`desktop_file_dir_changed()`).
Accordingly, the `DesktopFileDir` objects either have to be
(1) immutable;
(2) reference counted; or
(3) synchronised between the two threads
to avoid one of them being used by one thread after being freed on
another. Option (1) changed with commit 99bc33b6 and is no longer an
option. Option (3) would mean blocking the main thread on the worker
thread, which would be hard to achieve and is against the point of
having a worker thread. So that leaves option (2), which is implemented
here.

Most of the info returned is static, the only thing that changes
is the OS version.
This code relies on g_win32_check_windows_version() providing
accurate information (hopefully, MS won't nix RtlGetVersion() on
which we use for that) and supplements it with information from the
registry for Windows >= 8.1.
When the _g_dbus_worker_flush_sync() schedules the 'data' and releases
the worker->write_lock, it is possible for the GDBus worker thread thread
to finish the D-Bus call and acquire the worker->write_lock before
the _g_dbus_worker_flush_sync() re-acquires it in the if (data != NULL) body.
When that happens, the ostream_flush_cb() increases the worker->write_num_messages_flushed
and then releases the worker->write_lock. The write lock is reacquired by
the _g_dbus_worker_flush_sync(), which sees that the while condition is satisfied,
thus it doesn't enter the loop body and immediately clears the data members and
frees the data structure itself. The ostream_flush_cb() is still ongoing, possibly
inside flush_data_list_complete(), where it accesses the FlushData, which can be
in any stage of being freed.
Instead, add an explicit boolean flag indicating when the flush is truly finished.

In many places the pattern
static gboolean warned_once = FALSE;
if (!warned_once)
{
g_warning ("This and that");
warned_once = TRUE;
}
is used to not spam the same warning message over and over again. Add a
helper in glib for this, allowing the above statement to be changed to
g_warning_once ("This and that");
os-release(5) is widely implemented on Linux, but not necessarily
ubiquitous: unusual or minimal Linux distributions might not have it.
It could in principle be implemented by any other Unix OS, but in
practice this has not yet happened.

Document that g_vasprintf and g_strdup_printf are guaranteed to return a
non-NULL string, unless the format string contains the locale sensitive
conversions %lc or %ls.
Further annotate that the output parameter for g_vasprintf and the
format string for all functions must be non-NULL.
