Philip Withnall d951db4236 gobject: Add g_set_object() convenience function to set GObject pointers ...

Along the same lines as g_clear_object(), g_set_object() is a
convenience function to update a GObject pointer, handling reference
counting transparently and correctly.

Specifically, it handles the case where a pointer is set to its current
value. If handled naïvely, that could result in the object instance
being finalised. In the following code, that happens when
(my_obj == new_value) and the object has a single reference:
    g_clear_object (&my_obj);
    my_obj = g_object_ref (new_value);

It also simplifies boilerplate code such as set_property()
implementations, which are otherwise long and boring.

Test cases included.
