The list of roles is taken from the WAI-ARIA 1.2 specification:
https://w3c.github.io/aria/
Some of these roles do not make entirely sense from a GTK application
perspective, but we can remove them before finalizing the API.
To build a better world sometimes means having to tear the old one down.

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

We are using floats for rgb, and we don't need more precision
for hsl colors either. We use hsl for computing color expressions
like shade(), lighter() and darker(), which are not precisely
specified anyway.
This commit updates the one test where the output changes a
tiny bit due to this.
Setting a width request is not quite enough, since
gtk_widget_set_size_request() only queues a resize
when the widget is visible. Explicitly force one
here. Without this, the popup sometimes shows up
too small.
This is truly a russian doll of documentation formats:
a string containing <> inside an xml fragment in an |[ ]|
gtk-doc example in markdown in a doc comment.
Sadly, something gets escaping wrong, so the <> end up
literally in the docbook and mess up the last step of
our document formatting, even after turning them into
entities.
Work around this with an extra level of entities that
really shouldn't be necessary.
This flag causes pandoc to emit a proper doctype
declaration and, crucially, namespace declarations
for the xlink namespace that it insists on using
for href attributes. Without this, putting external
links in md documents doesn't survive the journey
through xml.
Commit 0145809a94 replace the response-requested
signal with an action, but didn't actually remove the emission
of that no-longer-existing signal.
Fixes: #2942
Add a table mapping event signals to their event controller
replacements, and a table mapping former GtkContainer
subclasses to their gtk_container_add replacement.
