Matthias Clasen 7447ef0fc2 Make 3.0 parallel-installable to 2.x
In particular, rename

  - libraries to lib*-3.0.so
  - pc files to *-3.0.pc
  - include paths to /usr/include/gtk-3.0/*
  - module paths to /usr/lib/gtk-3.0/*
  - rc files names to gtk-3.0/gtkrc
  - commandline utilities to *-3.0
  - adjust documentation

Also change the install location for unix-print headers to
/usr/include/gtk-3.0/unix-print/gtk.

<!-- ##### SECTION Title ##### -->
GtkProgressBar
<!-- ##### SECTION Short_Description ##### -->
A widget which indicates progress visually
<!-- ##### SECTION Long_Description ##### -->
<para>
The #GtkProgressBar is typically used to display the progress of a long
running operation. It provides a visual clue that processing
is underway. The #GtkProgressBar can be used in two different
modes: percentage mode and activity mode.
</para>
<para>
When an application can determine how much work needs to take place
(e.g. read a fixed number of bytes from a file) and can monitor its
progress, it can use the #GtkProgressBar in percentage mode and the user
sees a growing bar indicating the percentage of the work that has
been completed. In this mode, the application is required to call
gtk_progress_bar_set_fraction() periodically to update the progress bar.
</para>
<para>
When an application has no accurate way of knowing the amount of work
to do, it can use the #GtkProgressBar in activity mode, which shows activity
by a block moving back and forth within the progress area. In this mode,
the application is required to call gtk_progress_bar_pulse() perodically
to update the progress bar.
</para>
<para>
There is quite a bit of flexibility provided to control the appearance
of the #GtkProgressBar. Functions are provided to control the
orientation of the bar, optional text can be displayed along with
the bar, and the step size used in activity mode can be set.
</para>
<note>
<para>
The #GtkProgressBar/#GtkProgress API in GTK 1.2 was bloated, needlessly complex
and hard to use properly. Therefore #GtkProgress has been deprecated
completely and the #GtkProgressBar API has been reduced to the following 10
functions: gtk_progress_bar_new(), gtk_progress_bar_pulse(),
gtk_progress_bar_set_text(), gtk_progress_bar_set_fraction(),
gtk_progress_bar_set_pulse_step(), gtk_progress_bar_set_orientation(),
gtk_progress_bar_get_text(), gtk_progress_bar_get_fraction(),
gtk_progress_bar_get_pulse_step(), gtk_progress_bar_get_orientation().
These have been grouped at the beginning of this section, followed by
a large chunk of deprecated 1.2 compatibility functions.
