Another step towards dropping GLib as a dependency of
libsysprof-capture.
Unlike the previous commit which replaced GLib integer types with the
bitwise equivalent C standard types, `stdbool` is potentially a different
width from `gboolean`, so this is an ABI break.
It therefore involves some changes to callback functions in the tests
and tools, and in libsysprof.

As preparation for dropping the GLib dependency from libsysprof-capture,
move the `GSource` which links a `MappedRingBuffer` to a `GMainContext`
from libsysprof-capture to libsysprof.
This requires adding one new piece of API to libsysprof-capture to check
whether the `MappedRingBuffer` is empty.

This removes the 8 bytes of framing data from the MappedRingBuffer which
means we can write more data without racing. But also this means that we
can eventually use the mapped ring buffer as our normal buffer for
capture writing (to be done later).
This is a source that will allow the inferior to call into Sysprof to
create a new mmap()'d ring buffer to share data. This allows significantly
less overhead in the child process as Sysprof itself will take care of
copying the data out of the inferior into the final capture file. There is
more copying of course, but less intrusive to the inferior itself.
