Scroll events can have history too, so make a
getter that works for both. This drops the
gdk_scroll_event_get_history getter that was
added a few commits earlier, since we now
store scroll history in the same way as
motion history.
Update the docs, and all callers.
GdkEvent has been a "I-can't-believe-this-is-not-OOP" type for ages,
using a union of sub-types. This has always been problematic when it
comes to implementing accessor functions: either you get generic API
that takes a GdkEvent and uses a massive switch() to determine which
event types have the data you're looking for; or you create namespaced
accessors, but break language bindings horribly, as boxed types cannot
have derived types.
The recent conversion of GskRenderNode (which had similar issues) to
GTypeInstance, and the fact that GdkEvent is now a completely opaque
type, provide us with the chance of moving GdkEvent to GTypeInstance,
and have sub-types for GdkEvent.
The change from boxed type to GTypeInstance is pretty small, all things
considered, but ends up cascading to a larger commit, as we still have
backends and code in GTK trying to access GdkEvent structures directly.
Additionally, the naming of the public getter functions requires
renaming all the data structures to conform to the namespace/type-name
pattern.
Restructure the getters for event fields to
be more targeted at particular event types.
Update all callers, and replace all direct
event struct access with getters.
As a side-effect, this drops some unused getters.
We want to make events readonly, so stop translating
their coordinates and instead pass the translated
coordinates separately, when propagating events.
This adds specific marshallers for all of the locations where a generic
marshaller is being used. It also provides va_marshallers to reduce the
chances that we get stack traces from perf going through ffi_call_unix64.
This is forward ported from gtk-3-24.

The idea is that GTK+ 4 will be an epoch, API-wise.
Everything that was around for 4.0 has been there
since the beginning of the epoch and doesn't need
markers.
This is a GtkGesture done to deal with stylus events from drawing tablets.
Those have a special number of characteristics that extend a regular
pointer, so it makes sense to wrap that.
