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.
Since all element markup is now gone from the doc comments,
we can turn off the gtk-doc sgml mode, which means that from
now on, docbook markup is no longer allowed in doc comments.
To make this possible, we have to replace all remaining
entities in doc comments by their replacement text, & -> &
and so on.
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.
Install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to include
the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not really
abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in particular,
are incompatible.
gnetworkingprivate.h now contains just a few internal URI-related
functions
Also add a g_networking_init() function to gnetworking.h, which can be
used to explicitly initialize OS-level networking, rather than having
that happen as a side-effect of registering GInetAddress.

In the deserialise function, GUnixFDMessage was comparing 'level' to
both SOL_SOCKET and SCM_RIGHTS. It is correct to compare 'type' to
SCM_RIGHTS. The code passed tests only because:
1) it's a "should always be OK" double-check
2) SOL_SOCKET and SCM_RIGHTS, by chance, both have the value '1' on
Linux systems.
This adds:
GInitable - failable object constructor interface
GAsyncInitable - async failable object constructor interface
GSocket - Platform independent lowlevel berkely socket style object
GSocketControlMessage - For passing control messages over GSocket
GUnixFDMessage - unix fd passing socket control message
Some changes were done during the import from gnio to make things
work in glib. For instance, types were moved to other headers, header
file boiler plate were updated to glib style and gio.symbols stuff
was added.
