GdkContentFormatsBuilder is currently not introspectable, as it does not
have a GType. We can turn it into a boxed type, but we need to implement
memory management for it.
The current gdk_content_formats_builder_free() function returns a newly
constructed value, so we cannot use it as a GBoxedFreeFunc; additionally
copying a GdkContentFormatsBuilder contents would make it a bit odd, as
you could get multiple identical GdkContentFormats out of the copies.
A simple approach is to model the GdkContentFormatsBuilder API to follow
the GBytes one: use reference counting for memory management, and have
a function to release a reference, return a GdkContentFormats, and reset
the GdkContentFormatsBuilder state.
For language bindings, we can provide a get_formats() function that
returns the GdkContentFormats instance and resets the builder instance,
leaving the reference count untouched.
For C convenience we can keep gdk_content_formats_builder_free(), and
make it a wrapper around gdk_content_formats_builder_get_formats(), with
the guarantee that it'll free the builder instance regardless of its
current reference count.

Without selections, drags can't have them either.
Also included is removing the selection from GtkSelectionData.
Includes a bunch of crude cleanups to Wayland code that no longer has to
care about selection atoms.
Instead, pass the actions as part of gdk_drag_begin() and insist DND is
always managed.
A new side effect is that gdk_drag_begin() can now return %NULL.
Traditionally (and on most backends) there's a single master pointer driven
by all pointing devices. The notable exception is Wayland though, where
master pointing devices are created per capability in the case of
pointer/touch, and one for each drawing tablet.
This function call makes it easy to access all these.

This API allows specifying a GType and va_args of a value of that type
to set the clipboard contents. This massively simplifies setting weird
object types into the clipboard.
2 example patches included in this patch are the GtkTextBuffer and the
file list in the file chooser.
Using gobject-introspection, this should work without specifying the
type, so that you can literlally say
clipboard.set ("Hello World")
or
clipboard.set (pixbuf)
which is why I've also marked all other setters as (skip). They just
exist in C as wrappers for type safety reasons.
Instead of having just one function that has the gtype and mime type as
out arguments, have 3 functions: 1 that finds any match, 1 that finds a
GType match and one for a mime type match.
This makes the API way more convenient to use.
This is not used by anything yet, but add it now, so people looking at
this new code can make sense of it.
Plus, the documentation mentions it, so better have the docs make sense.
It will be used once we add support for conversions to GDK and allow
doing cipboard/dnd by GValue.
