It doesn't make sense to keep them separate as GtkSizeRequest requires a
GtkWidget and GtkWidget implements GtkSizeRequest, so you can never have
one without the other.
It also makes the code a lot easier because no casts are required when
calling functions.
Also, the names would translate to gtk_widget_get_width() and people
agreed that this would be a too generic name, so a "preferred" was added
to the names.
So this patch moves the functions:
gtk_size_request_get_request_mode() => gtk_widget_get_request_mode()
gtk_size_request_get_width() => gtk_widget_get_preferred_width()
gtk_size_request_get_height() => gtk_widget_get_preferred_height()
gtk_size_request_get_size() => gtk_widget_get_preferred_size()
gtk_size_request_get_width_for_height() =>
gtk_widget_get_preferred_width_for_height()
gtk_size_request_get_height_for_width() =>
gtk_widget_get_preferred_height_for_width()
... and moves the corresponding vfuncs to the GtkWidgetClass.
The patch also renames the implementations of the vfuncs in widgets to
include the word "preferrred".
Dealing with bare pointers is problematic for language bindings,
using interned strings is much more straightforward and more than
good enough for what is needed here.

The keysyms create a lot of potential namespace conflicts for
C, and are especially problematic for introspection, where we take
constants into the namespace, so GDK_Display conflicts with GdkDisplay.
For C application compatiblity, add gdkkeysyms-compat.h which uses
the old names.
Just one user in GTK+ continues to use gdkkeysyms-compat.h, which is
the gtkimcontextsimple.c, since porting that requires porting more
custom Perl code.
GtkNotebook was filling widget->requisition directly at "size-request"
time instead of filling in the *requsition argument, also (more importantly)
at size_allocate time GtkNotebook was consulting the action widget's
widget->requisition directly instead of safely calling
gtk_widget_get_child_requisition(). This commit closes bgo #628068.
In certain cases the menu label of a notebook page will be reused after the
page was removed from the notebook, for instance when a page is dragged from
one notebook to another. For such cases make sure that the menu label isn't
destroyed as part of destroying the menu item it was in.
