    Add GBytes variants for GSocket receive methods · 7cb953da
    Emmanuele Bassi authored and Philip Withnall's avatar Philip Withnall committed 
    The current buffer API is pretty much C-specific, and cannot be
adequately described in a way that is friendly to introspection and
language bindings: the passed buffer is allocated by the caller, but the
written size of the buffer is in the return value.

Using GBytes, we get a better API at the cost of an additional
allocation.
