I've been using this proposed glib2.0 update for a few days and I'd like
to upload it to unstable. There's nothing RC here, but it seems safer and
easier to do several small bugfix updates rather than one large one.

[ Reason ]
Pick up stable-branch changes from upstream, which are expected to be
released in 2.74.7 at some point.

[ Impact ]
If not accepted:
- Peer-to-peer D-Bus servers implemented with GLib, such as the ones in
  gvfs and ibus, won't interoperate properly with sd-bus clients
  (GNOME/glib#2916)
- Some multi-threaded uses of GDBus will have a use-after-free
  (GNOME/glib#2924)
- glib2.0 will FTBFS in non-minimal Docker containers (GNOME/glib#3307)

[ Tests ]
Automated tests continue to pass, and I've been using this version on my
laptop for several days. There is no specific test coverage for the changes.

[ Risks ]
High-visibility key package, but the changes are narrowly targeted.

[ Checklist ]
  [x] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
  [x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
  [x] attach debdiff against the package in testing
