"we found that the const security_context_t declarations in libselinux
are incorrect; const char * was intended, but const security_context_t
translates to char * const and triggers warnings on passing const char *
from the caller. Easiest fix is to replace them all with const char *."

These variables were already (correctly) accessed atomically. The
`volatile` qualifier doesn’t help with that.

This should introduce no API changes. The
`g_dbus_error_register_error_domain()` function still (incorrectly) has
a `volatile` argument, but dropping that qualifier would be an API
break.

This should introduce no API changes; there are public functions
exported by `GDBusConnection` which still have some (incorrectly)

break.

And drop the `volatile` qualifier from the variables, as that doesn’t

It’s possible that the variables here are only marked as volatile
because they’re arguments to `g_once_*()`. Those arguments will be
modified in a subsequent commit.

These tests were originally written using the output directly from a
fuzzer which had triggered the bugs we’re testing for. However, that
means they’re liable to no longer test what they’re intended to test if
the `GDBusMessage` parsing code is changed to (for example) check for
certain errors earlier in future.
It’s better to only have one invalidity in each binary blob, so change
the test messages to all be valid apart from the specific thing they’re
testing for.
The changes were based on reading the D-Bus specification directly:
https://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-specification.html
During these changes I found one problem in
`test_message_parse_deep_header_nesting()` where it wasn’t actually
nesting variants in the header deeply enough to trigger the bug it was
supposed to be testing for. Fixed that.

Set counters for the number of running tasks and
for the max. threadpool size. These are meant to
get a sense for whether G_TASK_POOL_SIZE and related
constants are still suitable for current gio and
GTask usage patterns.
Previously it was considered a programming error to call these on
subprocesses created without the correct flags, but for bindings this
distinction is difficult to handle automatically.
Returning NULL instead does not cause any inconsistent behaviour and
simplifies the API.
As hidden file caches currently work, every look up on a directory caches
its .hidden file contents, and sets a 5s timeout to prune the directory
from the cache.
This creates a problem for usecases like Tracker Miners, which is in the
business of inspecting as many files as possible from as many directories
as possible in the shortest time possible. One timeout is created for each
directory, which possibly means gobbling thousands of entries in the hidden
file cache. This adds as many GSources to the glib worker thread, with the
involved CPU overhead in iterating those in its main context.
To fix this, use a unique timeout that will keep running until the cache
is empty. This will keep the overhead constant with many files/folders
being queried.
Continue to allow overriding the keyring dir, but don’t automatically
create it when running as root.

This is a regression from !1686. The tmp_error is no longer valid after
it is "considered" and cannot be used at this point. We should print the
error earlier instead.
Fixes#2233
This incidentally also exercises the intended pattern for sending fds in
a D-Bus message: the fd list is meant to contain exactly those fds that
are referenced by a handle (type 'h') in the body of the message, with
numeric handle value n corresponding to g_unix_fd_list_peek_fds(...)[n].
Being able to send and receive file descriptors that are not referenced by
a handle (as in OpenFile here) is a quirk of the GDBus API, and while it's
entirely possible in the wire protocol, other D-Bus implementations like
libdbus and sd-bus typically don't provide APIs that make this possible.

In the D-Bus wire protocol, the handle type (G_VARIANT_TYPE_HANDLE, h)
is intended to be an index/pointer into the implementation's closest
equivalent of GUnixFDList: its numeric value has no semantic meaning
(in the same way that the numeric values of pointers have no semantic
meaning), but a handle with value n acts as a reference to the nth fd
in the fd list.
GDBus provides a fairly direct mapping from the wire protocol to the
C API, which makes it technically possible to attach and use fds
without ever referring to them in the message body, and some
GLib-centric D-Bus APIs rely on this.
However, the other major implementations of D-Bus (libdbus and sd-bus)
transparently replace file descriptors with handles when building
messages, and transparently replace handles with file descriptors when
parsing messages. This means they cannot implement D-Bus APIs that do
not follow the conventional meaning of handles as indexes/pointers into
an equivalent of GUnixFDList.
For interoperability, we should encourage D-Bus API designers to follow
the convention, even though code written against GDBus doesn't strictly
need to do so.

Suppose we are sending a 5K message with fds (so data->blob points
to 5K of data, data->blob_size is 5K, and fd_list is non-null), but
the kernel is only accepting up to 4K with each sendmsg().
The first time we get into write_message_continue_writing(),
data->total_written will be 0. We will try to write the entire message,
plus the attached file descriptors; or if the stream doesn't support
fd-passing (not a socket), we need to fail with
"Tried sending a file descriptor on unsupported stream".
Because the kernel didn't accept the entire message, we come back in.
This time, we won't enter the Unix-specific block that involves sending
fds, because now data->total_written is 4K, and it would be wrong to try
to attach the same fds again. However, we also need to avoid failing
with "Tried sending a file descriptor on unsupported stream" in this
case. We just want to write out the data of the rest of the message,
starting from (blob + total_written) (in this exaple, the last 1K).
