Overview of changes in GLib 2.76.1, 2023-03-22
==============================================
* Fix build failures in third party C++ projects using `g_strdup()` via C++
qualified symbol lookup
* Downgrade critical warnings from `GFileInfo` about missing attributes to debug
messages, as it was affecting too many apps; the critical warnings will be
reinstated early in the 2.78 cycle, so apps should continue to fix their
ambiguous use of `GFileInfo` API

condition (Owen Taylor)

- Possible regression in 2.75.3 when used from C++ due to g_strdup
becoming a macro
- Meson fails TAP test when g_test_message is called before g_test_init
(Philip Withnall)
- gio list triggers 'GFileInfo created without …' warnings for trash,
smb and google-drive GVFS backends (Philip Withnall)
- inotify: Avoid empty root directory string
- tests: Change the time function used in the bookmark tests
- gmacros: Add GCC < 5 fallback for __always_inline__
- fuzzing: do not build tests if build_tests is false
- tests: only build messages-low-memory if RTLD_NEXT is available
- tests: Fix timeout sources in gdbus-auth and gapplication tests
- tests: Reduce number of iterations in queue test
- gdesktopappinfo: Add a missing NULL check
