There were a couple of functions in `GDBusConnection` which take a
`user_data` argument, but which then leak it if they error out early.
A true positive spotted by scan-build!

scan-build thinks that the `atypes` array is leaked, but it’s not.
Ownership is transferred into the `ffi_cif` structure, and it’s
eventually freed in `gi_callable_info_destroy_closure()`.
Try and help the static analysis by adding an explicit ownership
transfer annotation. It probably won’t help.

There were some error paths where it wasn’t set, returning an
uninitialised value to the caller.

This enables `NULL` pointer dereference checking in the compiler. This
isn’t as good as static analysis, but it should hopefully catch some
simple errors without too high a false positive rate.
If the false positive rate is too high to be useful, we can always
disable it again.

Eventually, we do want to include them in static analysis (their code is
run in the same process as GLib, after all). But for now, that’s too
much work to get started.

It’s not highlighting severe bugs for us, and currently generates 132
out of 172 of the scan-build reports, so let’s disable it for now.

They cause too much noise at the moment. I want to make scan-build
messages fatal, and with 66 of 238 reports coming from the tests,
that’s not currently feasible.

It might not actually be needed (I haven’t checked if the default is
correct), but it certainly does no harm and makes things explicit.

This reverts commit 280c8d41fb.
It breaks the unit tests on macOS (see #3314) and no fix has been
forthcoming.
The alternate stack changes can be resubmitted once they include a
working unit test on macOS, as evidently its treatment of alternate
stacks differs from that on Linux, and hence needs testing.

Just like we already do in `GSocket`.
This is necessary when using `g_subprocess_communicate()` with a
subprocess which calls `close()` on its stdin FD at some point. `cat`
does this just before exiting, for example.
This causes a `write()` to the stdin pipe in the parent process to fail
with `EPIPE` and `SIGPIPE`. The condition is not detectable in advance,
because the `close()` call could happen after the `GMainContext` has
dispatched a `g_subprocess_communicate()` callback.
If it weren’t for the `SIGPIPE`,`g_subprocess_communicate()` would be
able to handle the `EPIPE` just fine. `SIGPIPE` seems like a default
error handling path which was useful in 1980 for writing pipe-heavy
command line apps, but which is more of a broken stair for writing
larger modern apps which have more than one data flow path.

Fixes: #3310
With the shell in nounset mode, an error is emitted on referencing
`schemadir` as it is not initialized in all code paths.
Initialize to an empty string to fix.
