We don't want the popover to stay open when we open
an about dialog or shortcuts window. Since cascade-popdown
would also affect e.g. the context menu of the text widgets,
do this explicitly.
GtkBuildable's get_name()/set_name() methods may shadow
GtkWidget's methods. Avoid that by renaming the API to
get_buildable_id()/set_buildable_id(), which also reflects
the name of the XML attribute the API refers to.

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

The flowbox demo is otherwise less than useful,
if /usr/share/gnome/backgrounds isn't present.
At the same time, give the scale in the listbox
some function.
Change which rows in the listbox on page 2 are activatable,
and trigger a dialog. It did not really make sense that this
would happen when clicking on the spin button to focus it.
We have example cut/copy/paste actions for which we want
the usual shortcuts to show up in the menus, but they should
not break the expected shortcuts in entries. So, move them
to a capture phase shortcut controller.
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.
GtkBuilderScope is an interface that provides the scope that a builder
instance operates in.
It creates closures and resolves types. Language bindings are meant to
use this interface to customize the behavior of builder files, in
particular when instantiating templates.
A default implementation for C is provided via GtkBuilderCScope (to keep
with the awkward naming that glib uses for closures). It is derivable on
purpose so that languages or extensions that extend C can use it.
The reftest code in fact does derive GtkBuilderCScope for its own scope
implementation that implements looking up symbols in modules.
gtk-widget-factory was updated to use the new GtkBuilderCScope to add
its custom callback symbols.
So it does it different from gtk-demo, which uses the normal way of
exporting symbols for dlsym() and thereby makes the 2 demos test the 2
ways GtkBuilder uses for looking up symbols.
gtk_builder_connect_signals() is no longer necessary, because all the
setup that made it necessary to have this extra step is now done
automatically via the closure functions.
This is pretty unused and gets in the way of the next steps.
A potential side effect is that for templates the widget was passed as
the user data argument. If that turns out to be important, we have to
special case that situation.
