gtask: remove hardcoded GTask thread-pool size
GTask used a 10-thread thread pool for g_task_run_in_thread() /
g_task_run_in_thread_sync(), but this ran into problems when task
threads blocked waiting for another g_task_run_in_thread_sync()
operation to complete. Previously there was a workaround for this, by
bumping up the thread limit when that case was detected, but deadlocks
could still happen if there were non-GTask threads involved. (Eg, task
A sends a message to thread X and waits for a response, but thread X
needs to complete task B in a thread before returning the response to
task A.)
So, allow GTask's thread pool to be expanded dynamically, by watching
it from the glib worker thread, and growing it (at an
exponentially-decreasing rate) if too much time passes without any
tasks completing. This should solve the deadlocking problems without
causing sudden breakage in apps that assume they can queue huge
numbers of tasks at once without consequences.

GListModel: roll back use of type redefinition

The giotypes.h approach is only used to avoid cyclic dependencies
between headers, which is not a problem in this case.
Type redefinition is a C11 feature, and although it was around in some
compilers before then, gcc 4.2.1 (from 2007) is apparently still in wide

Win32: Port Directory Monitoring to New GLocalFileMonitor
This WIP patch moves the Windows Directory Monitoring code to the new
GLocalFileMonitor mechanism, and adds file monitoring in the process.
Progress from previous patch:
-File renames are now properly supported, but G_FILE_MONITOR_EVENT_MOVED_IN
and G_FILE_MONITOR_EVENT_MOVED_OUT needs to be investigated, as
ReadDirectoryChangesW() seems to send FILE_ACTION_REMOVED when a file is
moved out of a directory.
-Events are handled for both the long and short (8.3) variants of the
filenames, and files monitored will report changes when it is changed
via its short or long filenames.
Things to be done:
-Perhaps find out about attribute changes in files in a monitored
directory; if a file is monitored, attribute changes are correctly
handled.
-Investigate on G_FILE_MONITOR_EVENT_MOVED_OUT,
G_FILE_MONITOR_EVENT_MOVED_IN, G_FILE_MONITOR_EVENT_PRE_UNMOUNT,
G_FILE_MONITOR_EVENT_UNMOUNTED.

In that case, we become "bored" with the event stream and add a backoff

(which is the common case) then leaving the event in the queue also lets
the kernel perform merging on it, so when we wake up, we will only see
the one event. Even in the case that the kernel is unable to perform
merging, the context switch overhead will be vastly reduced.
In testing, this cuts down on the number of wake ups during a large file

inotify: send CHANGES_DONE when new files 'appear'
We generally assume that an IN_CREATE event is the start of a series of
events in which another process is doing this:
fd = creat (...) -> IN_CREATE
write (fd, ..) -> IN_MODIFY
write (fd, ..) -> IN_MODIFY
close (fd) -> IN_CLOSE_WRITE
and as such, we use the CHANGES_DONE_HINT event after CREATED in order
to show when this sequence of events has completed (ie: when we receive
IN_CLOSE_WRITE when the user closes the file).
Renaming a file into place is handled by IN_MOVED_FROM so we don't have
to worry about that.
There are many other cases, however, where a new file 'appears' in a
directory in its completed form already, and the kernel reports
IN_CREATE. Examples include mkdir, mknod, and the creation of
hardlinks. In these cases, there is no corresponding IN_CLOSE_WRITE
event and the CHANGES_DONE_HINT will have to be emitted by an arbitrary
timeout.
Try to detect some of these cases and report CHANGES_DONE_HINT
immediately.
This is not perfect. There are some cases that will not be reliably
detected. An example is if the user makes a hardlink and then
immediately deletes the original (before we can stat the new file).
Another example is if the user creates a file with O_TMPFILE. In both
of these cases, CHANGES_DONE_HINT will still eventually be delivered via
the timeout.

Get rid of GLocalDirectoryMonitor. We will use a single class,
GLocalFileMonitor, for both directory and file monitoring. This will
prevent every single backend from having to create two objects
separately (eg: ginotifydirectorymonitor.c and ginotifyfilemonitor.c).
Introduce GFileMonitorSource as a thread-safe cross-context dispatch
mechanism. Put it in GLocalFileMonitor. All backends will be expected
to dispatch via the source and not touch the GFileMonitor object at all
from the worker thread.
Remove all construct properties from GLocalFileMonitor and remove the
"context" construct property from GFileMonitor. All backends must now
get the information about what file to monitor from the ->start() call
which is mandatory to implement.
Remove the implementation of rate limiting in GFileMonitor and add an
implementation in GLocalFileMonitor. gvfs never did anything with this
anyway, but if it wanted to, it would have to implement it for itself.
This was done in order to get the rate_limit field into the
GFileMonitorSource so that it could be safely accessed from the worker
thread.
Expose g_local_file_is_remote() internally for NFS detection.

gparamspecs: Recommend use of most specific GParamSpec types
It’s quite common to see a g_param_spec_pointer() used for GObject or
boxed types which, while not incorrect, does make memory management
unsafe, since no copying or reference counting can be performed
automatically.
Similarly, people often use g_param_spec_boolean() when an enum would be
more appropriate, cf.
http://blog.ometer.com/2011/01/20/boolean-parameters-are-wrong/
Using enums also means that the set of allowable values can be extended
in future if needed.
In the hope that people who write code like that read the documentation,
mention the more specific types in the documentation.

Use the /MP option so that each project can build multiple sources in

GContextSpecificGroup: fix deadlock
There was a theoretical deadlock between the worker trying to emit a
signal at the same time as we were waiting for it to shutdown the
notification (while holding the lock).
The deadlock was particularly annoying because we didn't really need to
wait for the shutdown and because it wasn't possible to signals to
arrive while waiting for a start. Attempting to deal with start and
stop in an asymmetric way could have lead to other weird situations,
however.
Drop the lock while waiting for the worker thread to start. This means
that we face the possibility of multiple waiters on the cond at the same
time, so we need to make more of a state machine.
