It's unnecessary, and only adds visual noise; we have been fairly
inconsistent in the past, but the semi-colon-less version clearly
dominates in the code base.

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.
The documentation of g_file_info_copy_into() was misleading. The
attributes are not just copied, @dest_info is also cleared at the
beginning. So any previously set attributes in @dest_info are lost.
There was a bug in gedit about this function, where some metadata were
not saved. So it might make sense to change the implementation to not
clear @dest_info, and copy one by one the attributes from @src_info to
@dest_info.

Add various (nullable) and (optional) annotations which were missing
from a variety of functions. Also port a couple of existing (allow-none)
annotations in the same files to use (nullable) and (optional) as
appropriate instead.
Secondly, add various (not nullable) annotations as needed by the new
default in gobject-introspection of marking gpointers as (nullable). See
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=729660.
This includes adding some stub documentation comments for the
assertion macro error functions, which weren’t previously documented.
The new comments are purely to allow for annotations, and hence are
marked as (skip) to prevent the symbols appearing in the GIR file.

This is meant for opaque, non-POSIX-like backends to indicate that the
URI is not persistent. Applications should look at
G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_STANDARD_SYMLINK_TARGET for the persistent URI.
Examples of such backends could be a portal for letting sandboxed
applications access the file-system, or a database-backed storage like
Google Drive.
In these cases, the user visible file and folder names are different
from the real identifiers, used by the backend. So, a request to
create google-drive://user@gmail.com/foo/New\ File, would actually
lead to google-drive://user@gmail.com/foo/bar on the server even though
the user visible name is still "New File". Since the server-defined URI
is persistent and sanity-checked by the backend, it is recommended that
applications switch to it as soon as possible. Backends will try to
keep a mapping from "fake" to "real" URIs, but those are only on a
best effort basis. They might not be persistent or have the same
guarantees as the "real" URIs.

For the GPtrArray example, several variables declared on the same line
is harder to read and to work with (to move, remove or comment a single
variable declaration).
This indicates whether the thumbnail (given by G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_THUMBNAIL_PATH)
is valid — i.e. to represent the file in its current state. If
G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_THUMBNAIL_IS_VALID is FALSE (for a normal _or_ failed
thumbnail) it means the file has changed since the thumbnail was generated, and
the thumbnail is out of date.
Part of checking thumbnail validity (by the spec) involves parsing
headers out of the thumbnail .png so we include some (small) code to do
that in a separate file. We will likely want to copy this code to gvfs
to do the same for GVfsFile.
Heavily based on a patch from Philip Withnall <philip.withnall@collabora.co.uk>
who suggested the feature and designed the API.

We now sort the matchers and remove unnecessary duplicates (like
removing standard:type when we already match standard:*), so that we can
do more complex operations on them easily in later commits.
* gio/gfileattribute.c: (_g_file_attribute_value_get_string,
_g_file_attribute_value_set_string): These use
G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_TYPE_STRING, which is documented as UTF-8, so
document these private functions as using UTF-8.
* gio/gfileinfo.c: (g_file_info_get_attribute_string,
g_file_info_set_attribute_string, and stringv versions):
Document that the strings are UTF-8 because the implementation uses
those private functions, that use UTF-8.
This helps language bindings (such as glibmm) whose API
distinguishes between known and unknown encodings.
This patch and the previous ones fixes the performance issues noted in
Bug 587089 – lookup_attribute() takes too much CPU
It increases performance for querying attributes by ~15% in my tests.
