Threads safer objects

Marco Trevisan requested to merge 3v1n0/gjs:safer-toggle into master

While gjs operates in the single-thread JS world, we've to deal with GObjects and callbacks that may come from different threads, and we were not dealing perfectly with them.

So:

  • Switch ToggleQueue to handle ObjectInstances instead
  • Make ToggleQueue usage safer when we're handling it from different threads
  • Related cleanups to make sure we're always thread safe in multi-thread places
  • Finally add another CI job using ThreadSanitizer for most of our tests

Bonus points, close #297 (closed) #404 (closed) and #406 (closed)
