Add support for g_auto(s)list to G_DECLARE'd types

Marco Trevisan requested to merge 3v1n0/glib:autolist-chainup into master

G_DECLARE_DERIVABLE_TYPE and G_DECLARE_FINAL_TYPE uses _GLIB_DEFINE_AUTOPTR_CHAINUP to declare glib_autoptr_cleanup_* functions, but they lack of support for lists.

Added such support, refactored a bit the code to avoid duplication (this last commit isn't the nicest maybe, so we can discuss how to get it nicer or just keep the duplication - this is also another option 3v1n0/glib@b0eafa16 that can be factorized more too), and added tests to check this.


EDIT: also, wondering... Wouldn't be the case to have G_DEFINE_AUTOPTR_CLEANUP_FUNC(char, g_free) as global to make possible to use g_autoptr(char) (which I don't like much to be honest, since we already have g_autofree for this, but instead we might set it only for gchar or define a new type), but most of all g_auto(s)list(char) set for everybody? Or better, adding a new G_DEFINE_AUTOPTR_LISTS_CLEANUP_FUNCS(char, g_free) or something like this in case we only want to serve the g_autolist case?
