One requirement of .ui files is that each object must have an ID,
even if it is never referred to or directly loaded from the code.
This makes editing .ui files much more onerous than it has to be,
due to the frequent need to invent new IDs, while avoiding
clashes.
This commit makes IDs optional in the XML. They only need to
be provided for objects which are referred to or explictly loaded
from the code. Since GtkBuilder needs IDs for its own internal
accounting, we create IDs of the form ___object_N___ if not
specified in the XML.

We toss a g_warning() if we can't find the user's signal handler. A good chunk
of the time this will be because they didn't use -rdynamic. Add a note about
that.
We've recently a number of classes wholly. For these cases,
move the headers and sources to gtk/deprecated/ and adjust
Makefiles and includes accordingly.
Affected classes:
GtkAction
GtkActionGroup
GtkActivatable
GtkIconFactory
GtkImageMenuItem
GtkRadioAction
GtkRecentAction
GtkStock
GtkToggleAction
GtkUIManager
GtkBuilder returns GError for _add_from_{file,resource,string}(),
implying that the user should be able to recover from these errors.
Mention in the docs that it's unreasonable to try to do this.

This commit implements the needed machinery for GtkWidget
to build it's composite content from GtkBuilder XML and
adds the following API:
o gtk_widget_init_template()
An api to be called in instance initializers of any
GtkWidget subclass that uses template XML to build it's components.
o gtk_widget_class_set_template()
API to associate GtkBuilder XML to a given GtkWidget subclass
o gtk_widget_class_automate_child()
API to declare an object built by GtkBuilder to be associated
with an instance structure offset and automatically set.
o gtk_widget_get_automated_child()
API for bindings to fetch a child declared to be automated by
gtk_widget_class_automate_child(), for the case where bindings
do not generate GObjects under the hood and cannot use structure
offsets to resolve composite object pointers.
o gtk_widget_class_declare_callback[s]()
Declare static functions to be used in signal callbacks from
a given class's template XML
o gtk_widget_class_set_connect_func()
API for bindings to override the signal connection machinery
for a given GtkWidget derived class.
This patch allows properties of type G_PARAM_CONSTRUCT to be set
on internal children or explicitly constructed objects (built
with <constructor>) while previously, G_PARAM_CONSTRUCT properties
being set on already constructed objects would result in an misinformed
warning that "construct-only properties cannot be set".
G_PARAM_CONSTRUCT_ONLY properties are still refused as parameters
to already constructed children.
This adds the definition of the <template> tag with some documentation
on the variant of the format.
_gtk_builder_extend_with_template() is to be used while GtkContainer
builds from composite templates. A couple of error codes are also added
to handle a few new possible failure cases.
DTD Files gtkbuilder.rnc and gtkbuilder.rng have been updated to include
the new <template> tag and it's attributes.
In preperation for composite objects, for better encapsulation
the following APIs are added to allow handling of signals declared
in the XML with callbacks declared statically.
o gtk_builder_add_callback_symbol[s]()
Adds a symbol to the internal symbol hash
o gtk_builder_lookup_symbol()
Looks up a symbol, exposed in case added symbols are used
in conjunction with gtk_builder_connect_signals_full()
The default implementation of gtk_builder_connect_signals() now
does not have a strong requirement on GModule (or a strong requirement
on symbols being declared in the global namespace). Instead GModule
is used as a fallback in the case that symbols are not declared
explicitly.
Replace the (invalid) DTD in the GtkBuilder docs by a
RELAX NG schema. Also install the schema in /usr/share/gtk-3.0,
so it can be used to validate GtkBuilder ui files.
There are new calls to load ui files from resources, and
you can now read pixbufs by using relative paths in a ui
file read from a resource, or by using absolute resource:/// uris.
This makes GtkBuilder accept a GMenuMarkup tree at the toplevel
(ie with <menu id='foo'> being a child of <interface>) and the resulting
GMenu object can be obtained via gtk_builder_get_object (builder, "foo").
