Dan Winship 82d914d808 gio: add g_async_result_is_tagged()
Rather than doing a two step first-check-the-GAsyncResult-subtype-then-
check-the-tag, add a GAsyncResult-level method so that you can do them
both at once, simplifying the code for "short-circuit" async return
values where the vmethod never gets called.

/**
* SECTION:gasyncresult
* @short_description: Asynchronous Function Results
* @include: gio/gio.h
* @see_also: #GSimpleAsyncResult
*
* Provides a base class for implementing asynchronous function results.
*
* Asynchronous operations are broken up into two separate operations
* which are chained together by a #GAsyncReadyCallback. To begin
* an asynchronous operation, provide a #GAsyncReadyCallback to the
* asynchronous function. This callback will be triggered when the
* operation has completed, and will be passed a #GAsyncResult instance
* filled with the details of the operation's success or failure, the
* object the asynchronous function was started for and any error codes
* returned. The asynchronous callback function is then expected to call
* the corresponding "_finish()" function, passing the object the
* function was called for, the #GAsyncResult instance, and (optionally)
* an @error to grab any error conditions that may have occurred.
*
* The "_finish()" function for an operation takes the generic result
* (of type #GAsyncResult) and returns the specific result that the
* operation in question yields (e.g. a #GFileEnumerator for a
* "enumerate children" operation). If the result or error status of the
* operation is not needed, there is no need to call the "_finish()"
* function; GIO will take care of cleaning up the result and error
* information after the #GAsyncReadyCallback returns. You can pass
* %NULL for the #GAsyncReadyCallback if you don't need to take any
* action at all after the operation completes. Applications may also
* take a reference to the #GAsyncResult and call "_finish()" later;
* however, the "_finish()" function may be called at most once.
*
* Example of a typical asynchronous operation flow:
* |[
* void _theoretical_frobnitz_async (Theoretical *t,
* GCancellable *c,
* GAsyncReadyCallback *cb,
* gpointer u);
*
* gboolean _theoretical_frobnitz_finish (Theoretical *t,
* GAsyncResult *res,
* GError **e);
*
* static void
* frobnitz_result_func (GObject *source_object,
* GAsyncResult *res,
* gpointer user_data)
* {
* gboolean success = FALSE;
*
* success = _theoretical_frobnitz_finish (source_object, res, NULL);
*
* if (success)
* g_printf ("Hurray!\n");
* else
* g_printf ("Uh oh!\n");
*
* /<!-- -->* ... *<!-- -->/
*
* }
*
* int main (int argc, void *argv[])
* {
* /<!-- -->* ... *<!-- -->/
*
* _theoretical_frobnitz_async (theoretical_data,
* NULL,
* frobnitz_result_func,
* NULL);
*
* /<!-- -->* ... *<!-- -->/
* }
* ]|
*
* The callback for an asynchronous operation is called only once, and is
* always called, even in the case of a cancelled operation. On cancellation
* the result is a %G_IO_ERROR_CANCELLED error.
