This can be used to query whether the task has completed, in the sense
that it has had a result set on it, and has already – or will soon –
invoke its callback function.
Notifications for this property are emitted immediately after the task’s
main callback, in the same main context as that callback. This allows
for multiple bits of code to listen for completion of the GTask, which
opens the door for blocking on cancellation of the GTask and improved
handling of ‘pending’ behaviour.

When running a task in a thread, GTask may still be internally holding
a ref on the task in that thread even after the callback is called in
the original thread (depending on thread scheduling). Fix the test to
handle that by using a weak notify that signals a GCond, and wait for
that GCond from the main thread. (And add a corresponding check to
test_return_on_cancel().)

If tasks block waiting for other tasks to complete then the system can
end up starved for threads. Avoid this by bumping up max-threads in
that case.
This also reverts 7b1f8c58 and reverts max-threads for GTask's
GThreadPool back to 10.

Very many testcases, some GLib tools (resource compiler, etc) and
GApplication were calling g_type_init().
Remove those uses, as they are no longer required.

GTask is a replacement for GSimpleAsyncResult and GIOScheduler, that
also allows for making cancellable wrappers around non-cancellable
functions (as in GThreadedResolver).
