GLib has a "diagnostic mode" switch that can be checked to enable debug
messages on deprecated properties and signals, as these are purely
run-time constructs, and as such cannot be caught by compiler warnings.
The diagnostic mode is toggled by a simple environment variable, and
can be used to ease porting of application code.

We can use something similar to mark deprecated virtual functions and
other run-time constructs; to avoid collisions, we should use our own
environment variable, CLUTTER_ENABLE_DIAGNOSTIC.
