Stef Walter d789e78dff giomodule: When loading GIO_EXTRA_MODULES skip duplicates
* 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.

* This method will not be called in normal use, however it may be
* called when probing existing modules and recording which extension
* points that this modle is used for. This means we won't have to
* load and initialze this module unless its needed.
*
* If this function is not implemented by the module the module will
* always be loaded, initialized and then unloaded on application startup
* so that it can register its extension points during init.
*
* Note that a module need not actually implement all the extension points
* that g_io_module_query returns, since the exact list of extension may
* depend on runtime issues. However all extension points actually implemented
* must be returned by g_io_module_query() (if defined).
*
* When installing a module that implements g_io_module_query you must
* run gio-querymodules in order to build the cache files required for
* lazy loading.
*
* Returns: (transfer full): A %NULL-terminated array of strings, listing the supported
* extension points of the module. The array must be suitable for
* freeing with g_strfreev().
*
* Since: 2.24
