With the new API introduced int d1c4457f,
we next need to port all plug-ins using
the argument macros to functions.
This will allow us to remove the macros
as part of the 3.0 API clean-up.
Hence avoiding the stderr messages. These are going to be localized with
centrally installed catalogs "gimp*-std-plugins", "gimp*-script-fu" and
"gimp*-python".
We now handle core plug-in localizations differently and in particular,
with kind of a reverse logic:
- We don't consider "gimp*-std-plugins" to be the default catalog
anymore. It made sense in the old world where we would consider the
core plug-ins to be the most important and numerous ones. But we want
to push a world where people are even more encouraged to develop their
own plug-ins. These won't use the standard catalog anymore (because
there are nearly no reasons that the strings are the same, it's only a
confusing logic). So let's explicitly set the standard catalogs with
DEFINE_STD_SET_I18N macro (which maps to a different catalog for
script-fu plug-ins).
- Doing something similar for Python plug-ins which have again their own
catalog.
- Getting rid of the INIT_I18N macro since now all the locale domain
binding is done automatically by libgimp when using the set_i18n()
method infrastructure.
The initial attempt of this commit was to remove the `GtkAction` usage,
but grew a bit wider than that. The following happened:
* The dialog became a proper GObject, rather than being a big chunk of
static variables that were hopefully initialized before you used them.
* The dialog now uses `GAction`s to implement actions, and converted
some signal handlers to actions as well.
* The plug-in run procedure now uses `GtkApplication`. This is one hand
necessary to be able to set accelerators for actions, but on the other
hand is more future-proof, as GTK4 removes `gtk_main()`
GLib has a specific type of NULL-terminated string arrays:
`G_TYPE_STRV`, which is the `GType` of `char**` aka `GStrv`.
By using this type, we can avoid having a `GimpStringArray` which is a
bit cumbersome to use for both the C API, as well as bindings. By using
`GStrv`, we allow other languages to pass on string lists as they are
used to, while the bindings will make sure to do the right thing.
In the end, it makes the API a little bit simpler for everyone, and
reduces confusion for people who are used to working with string arrays
in other C/GLib based code (and not having 2 different types to denote
the same thing).

Warning
g_thread_init has been deprecated since version 2.32 and should not be used in newly-written code. This function is no longer necessary. The GLib threading system is automatically initialized at the start of your program.

Bug 577024 – help-browser plugin crashes when used with webkit 1.1.3
* plug-ins/help-browser/help-browser.c (run): call g_thread_init().
Seems to be needed with newer versions of webkit.

* all files with a GPL header and all COPYING files:
Change licence to GPLv3 (and to LGPLv3 for libgimp).
Cleaned up some copyright headers and regenerated the parsers in
the ImageMap plugin.

* plug-ins/help/help.c (load_help_idle): don't show progress for
local help lookups, they are fast enough.
* plug-ins/help-browser/help-browser.c: added the same progress
code here. Might want to move it to the dialog window later.

* configure.in: removed check for gtkhtml2 and added a check for
wekbit instead.
* INSTALL: document the changed dependency.
* plug-ins/help-browser/Makefile.am
* plug-ins/help-browser/dialog.[ch]: ported the help-browser to
webkit. Offers the same functionality as before and some more.
* plug-ins/help-browser/help-browser.c: some cleanup.

* plug-ins/help/gimphelpprogress-private.h: new files providing a
simple framework for progress indication and cancellation.

as progress for now). Also updated copyright headers.
* plug-ins/help-browser/help-browser.c: same here.
* plug-ins/help/gimp-help-lookup.c: use the new API and show some
progress indication when the --verbose command-line option is used.
