To build a better world sometimes means having to tear the old one down.
-- Alexander Pierce, "Captain America: The Winter Soldier"
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

Make GtkScaleButton a widget that has a toggle button
as a child, just like all the other button widgets now.
The immediate benefit of this arrangement is to avoid
the "double focus" problem when we pop up the popup.
Update accessible, demos and tests to match.
It is enough to just set the parent (and make the parent
call gtk_native_check_resize in size_allocate).
This commit removes the relative_to argument to the
constructors of GtkPopover and GtkPopoverMenu, and
updates all callers.
If we set c_marshaller manually, then g_signal_newv() will not setup a
va_marshaller for us. However, if we provide c_marshaller as NULL, it will
setup both the c_marshaller (to g_cclosure_marshal_VOID__VOID) and
va_marshaller (to g_cclosure_marshal_VOID__VOIDv) for us.
Call gtk_native_check_resize() from size_allocate,
as is required now. This gets volume buttons closer
to working again (dragging the slider still doesn't
work).
Change the reorder api to insert after a sibling,
so that moving to first place becomes reorder (... NULL).
And add a insert_after api that can replace the common
container_add / reorder_after (... NULL) combination.
Update all callers.
Currently, gtk_event_controller_scroll_handle_event() always returns
TRUE if it is handled, which stops the propagation of the event. If
there’s a single GtkEventControllerScroll in the widget hierarchy, that
means that no others will run, depending on the propagation phase. In
Nautilus, this can be observed when adding a scroll controller to the
GtkScrolledWindow (ctrl-scrolling controls the zoom level) - either the
scrolling or the zooming breaks.

Remove all the old 2.x and 3.x version annotations.
GTK+ 4 is a new start, and from the perspective of a
GTK+ 4 developer all these APIs have been around since
the beginning.
Instead, add a function gtk_image_set_icon_size() for the cases where
overriding the icon size is necessary.
Treat icon sizes the same way as pixel sizes, too. So gtk_image_clear()
no longer unsets the icon size.
We now rely on toplevels receiving and forwarding all the events
the windowing should be able to handle. Event masks are no longer a
way to determine whether an event is deliverable ot a widget.
Events will always be delivered in the three captured/target/bubbled
phases, widgets can now just attach GtkEventControllers and let those
handle the events.
In https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=601425 the annotations
were changed to int as they not only take the predefined enum values
but also user defined values registered through gtk_icon_size_register()
As a result the typelib doesn't contain any information about
GtkIconSize for those arguments and the Python docstring only
shows the corresponding Python type "int".
This changes the argument docs to mention the type explicitly
so the Python doc generator can add a link to Gtk.IconSize
which contains the most useful predefined values.

Instead of just listing the return type of get_plus_button() and
get_minus_button() in the documentation, we can use the (type)
annotation to ensure that the introspection data reflects the actual
type of the returned widget.
