Overview of changes in GLib 2.60.7
* Bugs fixed:
- Invalid characters in Open Location dialog crashes GIMP
- Setting GLIB_VERSION_{MIN_REQUIRED, MAX_ALLOWED} to before 2.56 triggers warnings
- Backport !1009 “gapplication: remove inactivity_timeout source on finalize” to glib-2-60
- Backport !1008 “gmessages: Only use structured logs if GLIB_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED is ≥2.56” to glib-2-60
- Backport !966 “Resolve "Invalid characters in Open Location dialog crashes GIMP"” to glib-2-60

The motivation is to consider meson as an application, so there is only
one copy on the system, and as a python 3 program, it can build python 2
packages.

GLib's move to meson from autotools means we are effectively starting
from scratch with non-linux build fixes. Support for python 2 has
also been dropped (given that meson requires python 3). I replaced
sysutils/gio-fam with a build option.
The full lengthy list of changes is available from:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/tags/2.60.2
Some highlights:
* Improve network status detection with NetworkManager (!781)
* Add async GIO API: g_file_query_default_handler_async(), g_app_info_launch_uris_async() (#1249, #1347)
* Add overlay support to g_resources_get_info(). (#1445)
* Add writev() and writev_all() APIs to GOutputStream and GPollableOutputStream,
and provide implementations of them for many subclasses. (#1431)
* Hide bind mounts from GIO mount listings. (#1271)
* Automatically realign data passed to `g_variant_new_from_bytes()` or
`g_variant_new_from_data()` if it is not correctly aligned. This prevents
misaligned accesses on architectures which don’t support them. Callers should
still aim to correctly align data to get higher performance. (#1342)
* Support `ld -b binary` (on platforms which support it; i.e. Linux) to provide
large pre-compiled `GResource` resources with a fast compilation time. (#1489+* Drop Python 2 support and require Python 3.4+. See discussion on
https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2018-July/msg00004.html.
(!196)
* Various fixes to eliminate thread races, found by thread sanitizer (tsan).

Do it for all packages that
* mention perl, or
* have a directory name starting with p5-*, or
* depend on a package starting with p5-
like last time, for 5.18, where this didn't lead to complaints.
Let me know if you have any this time.
gdbus-codegen has grown a --xml-files option for introspection XML files.

a) refer 'perl' in their Makefile, or
b) have a directory name of p5-*, or
c) have any dependency on any p5-* package
Like last time, where this caused no complaints.
Among many bugfixes, changes and translations:
* GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
* GTask (the new GAsyncResult implementation) has landed
* We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
particular, are incompatible.
See NEWS file http://git.gnome.org/browse/glib/plain/NEWS?id=2.36.1 for details.
