[ QA ]

Upstream release, so QA already performed by maintainers

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates/GNOME

This upload will trigger many autopkgtests that we expect to not be
regressed by this upload.

[ Regression potential ]

Various fixes in multiple places so multiple apps could be affected.
Pretty much all parts of GNOME use GLib, so test anything in the desktop
that you can. If you reboot the machine and can get to the desktop,
that's already tested GLib extensively. But also run applications like
GNOME terminal, Files and Epiphany.
