In locales with something else than a dot as the decimal separator, the
combination of perl >= 5.20 and Gtk2 lead to errors wherever perl tried to
parse version numbers, as in "use 5.8.0" or "use Encode 0.5".  Fix by making
sure we notify perl when the locale might have changed behind its back.

In certain environments, they either hang or cause crashes.  There is only a
diminishingly small chance that this behaviour is due to bugs in the bindings,
so simply disable the tests by moving them into "xt", the directory for "author
tests".

gdk-pixbuf 2.30.3 unified sniff buffer sizes across loaders, effectively
meaning that we now don't get any signals until at least 4096 bytes have
been written to the loader.  Use a bigger test file to work around this.

- Created %meta_merge which follows v2 of meta-spec

In particular, test that they are used for all equivalent spellings of a signal
name.

We need to require Glib 1.280 for this to work.

Following Gtk+ commit 1070c5849e45433ad66c076e0bf692d936813a31, add_item
is even more asynchronous than before, and doesn't necessarily emit the
changed signal immediately, so GtkRecentChooser won't see the added
items.  Emit the changed signal manually to work around this.

Hopefully, this makes it easier to track down this failure:

- added more changes for the next release from commit notes

A test in t/GdkDnd.t moved the pointer to the (0,0) position on the screen.
This triggered gnome-shell's overlay view in which it would then sometimes get
stuck.  Simply use different coordinates to avoid this.

This means we can revert commit 17e4ca2e,
"Disable a few potentially annoying tests".

Specifically, those in Makefile.PL and gtk-demo/main.pl.

Glib now does this for us.

Updated copyright notices on files that have changed since the
beginning of the year

In particular, provide a definition of the Newx() macro if needed, and
don't rely on code block signatures working.

This avoids a redefinition warning.

In particular, one of these seems to sometimes trip gnome-shell over.
