[Bug 1956059] [NEW] Backport gspawn fixes to impish

[Dan Nicholson]

Public bug reported:

A few changes for gspawn landed in the 2.67 series that had some bugs
which were later fixed and backported to 2.70 as seen in
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/merge_requests/2394. These bugs
are present in 2.68 as on impish, but that series won't see any more
updates upstream.

Currently this is causing a bug in the OSTree test suite as seen in
https://github.com/ostreedev/ostree/issues/2495 with
https://github.com/ostreedev/ostree/issues/2495#issuecomment-1000247260
confirming from glib's maintainer that these bugs are likely the issue.

Attached is a debdiff with the 3 patches that were backported to 2.70.

** Affects: glib2.0 (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Attachment added: "Debdiff for 3 gspawn backport patches"
