gio: Remove fam file monitor support

Philip Withnall requested to merge pwithnall/glib:2614-bye-bye-gamin into main

libgamin was last released in 2007 and is dead upstream. Distributions may still ship it (although Fedora no longer does), but we want people to use inotify on Linux since it’s actively supported.

BSDs use kqueue. Windows uses win32filemonitor.

FAM might still be used on some commercial Unix distributions, but there are no contributors from those distributions, and certainly no CI for them to prevent regressions.
