In particular, remove the libasyncns import, which was only used by
GUnixResolver, which is only used when threads are not available.
Likewise remove GWin32Resolver, and the hacky broken non-threaded
parts of GIOScheduler.

* Add 'invoke' style method, which can be used to call an interaction
from any thread. The interaction will be run in the appropriate
#GMainContext
* Sync methods can be called whether main loop is running or not.
* Derived classes can choose to implement only sync or async
interaction method, and the invoke method will fill in the blanks.
* Documentation for the above.
* Tests for the above.

* Load modules from paths listed in GIO_EXTRA_MODULES environment
variable first.
* Ignore duplicate modules based on module basename.
* Add the concept of GIOModuleScope which allows other callers to
skip duplicate loaded modules, or block specific modules based on
basename.
* Document behavior.

The main rationale for adding it was to avoid having gnome-shell
mmap'ing /etc/localtime once a second. However, we can just as easily
run inotify there, and given no one else was clamoring for a way to
detect when the time zone changes, I don't see a need for public API
here - at least not yet.
In the bigger picture, I just don't believe that the vast majority of
applications are going to go out of their way to instantiate and keep
around a random GTimeZoneMonitor class. And if they do, it's has the
side effect that for other bits of code in the process, local GDateTime
instances may start varying again!
So, if code can't rely on local GDateTime instances being in a
consistent state anyways, let's just do that always. The
documentation now says that this is the case. Applications have
always been able to work in a consistent local time zone by
instantiating a zone and then using it for GDateTime constructors.
We fix the "gnome-shell stats /etc/localtime once a second" issue by
using timerfd (in glib) and inotify (in gnome-shell).

The database is an abstract object implemented by the various TLS
backends, which is used by GTlsConnection to lookup certificates
and keys, as well as verify certificate chains.
Also add GTlsInteraction, which can be used to prompt the user
for a password or PIN (used with the database).

Also add convenience _with_unix_fd_list variants to GDBusConnection,
GDBusProxy and GDBusMethodInvocation types to easily support this.

This commit represents an API break to GAction in the following ways:
- the 'set_state' entry in the GActionInterface vtable has been
renamed to 'change_state'. The number and order of vtable items has
not otherwise changed.
- g_action_set_state() has been renamed to g_action_change_state() to
match the updated vtable entry.
- the "state" property of the GAction interface has been changed to
read-only to reflect the fact that g_action_set_state() no longer
exists.
- GSimpleActionClass has been hidden. GSimpleAction can no longer be
subclassed.
>> Rationale
g_action_set_state() has never been a true setter in the sense that
calling it will update the value of the "state" property. It has always
been closer to "request 'state' to be changed to this value" with
semantics defined by the implementor of the interface. This is why the
equivalent method in GActionGroup had its name changed from 'set' to
'change'. This change makes the two interfaces more consistent and
removes any implication about the effect that calling set_state() should
have on the 'state' property.
>> Impact
This incompatible API break was undertaken only because I strongly
suspect that it will go entirely unnoticed. If the break actually
affects anybody, then we will accommodate them (possibly going as far as
to revert this commit entirely).
The virtual table change only impacts implementors of GAction. I
strongly suspect that this is nobody (except for GSimpleAction).
The hiding of GSimpleActionClass only impacts impacts subclasses of
GSimpleAction. I strongly suspect that none of these exist.
The changing of the property to be read-only only affects people who
were trying to change the state by using GObject properties. I strongly
suspect that this is nobody at all.
The removal of the g_action_set_state() call is the most dangerous, but
I still suspect that it will impact nobody outside of GLib. If anybody
is impacted by this change then, at their request, I will reintroduce
the API as a deprecated alias for g_action_change_state().
These will validate the resulting line, and throw a conversion error.
In practice these will likely be used by bindings, but it's good
for even C apps too that don't want to explode if that text file
they're reading into Pango actually has invalid UTF-8.

The grouping in files/headers is not used anymore, and
the function attributes neither. Adapt abicheck scripts
and .def file generation rules accordingly.
.. and add a C setter to do this. Also make the C getter return a
reference since the property may be set from another thread. Also
change the constructor to _not_ take a GDBusConnection since this is
something you almost always want to do _after_ creating it. The
API/ABI break is fine as there has never been a GLib release with this
type.

Without getting into a debate about the reasons why you may or may not
want to use unsigned integers, it's sufficient to note that people have
been using them and requesting this functionality.
Bug #641755.
There are now fallback functions in the Win32 portion of
g_app_info that were previously only available under UNIX,
so add them here so that they can be exported as well.
The symbols are as follows:
g_app_info_get_fallback_for_type
g_app_info_get_recommended_for_type
This commit also changes (maintaining compatibility) the way
user-specified default applications are stored (as in, those for which
g_app_info_set_as_default_for_type() has been called.
We now store the default application for a content type in a new group
in the mimeapps.list keyfile, and "Added Associations" tracks only the
applications that have been added by the user, following a
most-recently-used first order.
This is useful in GtkAppChooser-like widgets to pre-select the last used
application when constructing a widget.

Make the certificate and peer-certificate properties virtual, and add
peer-certificate-errors as well. Change the documentation on
peer-certificate to say that it's not set until after the handshake
succeeds (which means notify::peer-certificate can be used to tell
when a handshake has completed).
Trying to do this as a signal won't work well with either
GTlsCertificateDB (in which case looking up a certificate in the db is
a blocking/asynchronous act) or session resumption support (in which
case the certificate or lack thereof is part of the session definition
and so needs to be known immediately). Make the caller use
g_tls_connection_set_certificate() ahead of time (or when retrying)
instead.
Add a method to verify a certificate against a CA; this can be used
for apps that need to test against non-default CAs.
Also make the GTlsCertificate::issuer property virtual
This adds an extension point for TLS connections to gio, with a
gnutls-based implementation in glib-networking.
Full TLS support is still a work in progress; the current API is
missing some features, and parts of it may still be changed before
2.28.

GProxyConnection is a class that was added for proxy support;
g_socket_client_connect() returns a GSocketConnection, but in some
cases (eg, encrypted SOCKS), GProxy might return a GIOStream that is
not a GSocketConnection. In that case, GSocketClient would wrap the
stream up in a GProxyConnection, which is a subclass of
GSocketConnection but uses the input/output streams of the wrapped
connection.
GTlsConnection is not a GSocketConnection, so it has the same problem,
so it will need the same treatment. Rename the class to
GTcpWrapperStream, and make it public, so people can extract the base
stream from it when necessary.
(This is not ideal and GSocketClient will need to be revisited as an
API at some point...)

When interfacing with APIs that expect unix-style async I/O, it is
useful to be able to tell in advance whether a read/write is going to
block. This adds new interfaces GPollableInputStream and
GPollableOutputStream that can be implemented by a GInputStream or
GOutputStream to add _is_readable/_is_writable, _create_source, and
_read_nonblocking/_write_nonblocking methods.
Also, implement for GUnixInput/OutputStream and
GSocketInput/OutputStream

g_cancellable_create_source() returns a GSource that triggers when its
corresponding GCancellable is cancelled. This can be used with
g_source_add_child_source() to add cancellability to a source.
Port gasynchelper's FDSource to use this rather than doing its own
cancellable handling, and also fix up its callback argument order to
be more normal.

Removing an extension point is an API and ABI break. In particular, it
causes (older) gvfs versions to fail loading with a linkage error from
ld which in turn makes the desktop unusable.
So this reinstate the extension point and API provided by it, but
deprecates and does not use it. So no functionality is changed.
This reverts parts of commit 9b262f1c5f.
