This is rarely what you want, so lets turn it off
by default.
Update the one place in our demos where we want to
draw a value, add support for this to gtk-builder-tool,
add a test and mention this change in the migration
guide.
For --3to4, replace GtkRadioButton by either GtkCheckButton
or GtkToggleButton, depending on the value of :draw-indicator.
Update the testsuite to cover this.
Rewrite expand/fill properties on GtkBox to
hexpand/halign/vexpand/valign on the child widget.
Rewrite GtkVBox and GtkHBox to GtkBox, setting the orientation
property.
Added a test for boxes.

ATK served us well for nearly 20 years, but the world has changed, and
GTK has changed with it. Now ATK is mostly a hindrance towards improving
the accessibility stack:
- it maps to a very specific implementation, AT-SPI, which is Linux and
Unix specific
- it requires implementing the same functionality in three different
layers of the stack: AT-SPI, ATK, and GTK
- only GTK uses it; every other Linux and Unix toolkit and application
talks to AT-SPI directly, including assistive technologies
Sadly, we cannot incrementally port GTK to a new accessibility stack;
since ATK insulates us entirely from the underlying implementation, we
cannot replace it piecemeal. Instead, we're going to remove everything
and then incrementally build on a clean slate:
- add an "accessible" interface, implemented by GTK objects directly,
which describe the accessible role and state changes for every UI
element
- add an "assistive technology context" to proxy a native accessibility
API, and assign it to every widget
- implement the AT context depending on the platform
