The hash table used exclusively for looking up types by name used to map
quarks => types. But we can easily make it map strings => types, which
avoids the quark lookup. And that in trun avoids taking a lock and
consulting another hash table. So this change should make
g_type_from_name() roughly twice as fast.

keyfile: fill parse buffer in line sized chunks
When loading a keyfile the incoming bytes are fed

The code that fills the line buffer does it inefficiently,
one byte at a time.
This commit changes that code to look ahead at the incoming
bytes for the next '\n' character and then fill the line buffer

clear skeleton->priv->changed_properties_idle_source causing
g_source_unref() to be called with a NULL pointer. This race was

In addition to fixing this race, also move the code for setting up the

gdbus-codegen: gracefully handle property get on proxy with no cached property
This can easily happen if the owner of the remote object vanishes. Of
course, when that happens, user code is already notified (by e.g. the
notify::g-name-owner signal) so it can avoid using the proxy but
requiring that is a bit harsh. IOW, before this patch this critical
error was printed
GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_dbus_gvariant_to_gvalue: assertion `value != NULL' failed
when that happened. With this patch, we just avoid setting the GValue
so the user will get the default value for its type instead. So, for
example, if the user code is getting a GVariant property on such a
defunct proxy, then he gets a NULL back. So unless said user code
checks the return value, criticals will still be printed if the NULL
GVariant is used for anything interesting.

GFilterInputStream: close-base-stream should not be construct-only
This is a runtime changable property (by the methods for it), must
be a cut and paste error.

Use SIGTRAP (via G_BREAKPOINT()) if G_DEBUG=fatal-warnings
On Linux with gdb, it's much more convenient to debug programs using
G_DEBUG=fatal-warnings if we send SIGTRAP instead of abort() by
default. The default handler for both is to terminate the process.
In particular this makes it more easily possible to debug a warning
that's not the first in a program; you can skip past it and
go to the warning you care about.
The "aborting..." message is removed since it's no longer accurate,
and anyways was never very useful; crashes should show up in ABRT/apport
type crash catching systems.

glib-unix: New API to watch some Unix signals
This new API allows watching a few select Unix signals;
looking through the list on my system, I didn't see anything
else that I think it'd reasonable to watch.
We build on the previous patch to make the child watch helper thread
that existed on Unix handle these signals in the threaded case.
In the non-threaded case, they're just global variables.

glib-unix: New Unix-specific API
GLib historically has been designed to be "mostly" portable; there
are some functions only available on Unix like g_io_channel_unix_new(),
but these are typically paired with obvious counterparts for Win32.
However, as GLib is used not only by portable software, but components
targeting Unix (or even just Linux), there are a few cases where it
would be very convenient if GLib shipped built-in functionality.
This initial patch is a basic wrapper around pipe2(), including
fallbacks for older kernels. This pairs well with the
existing g_spawn_*() API and its child_setup functionality.
However, in the future, I want to add a signal() wrapper here,
complete with proxying the signal to a mainloop. I have initial code
for this, but doing it sanely (including factoring out gmain.c's
private worker thread), is a complex task, and I don't want to block
on that.
See also gwin32.h for Win32 specific functionality.
