    gobject: Speed up g_type_from_name()
    
    The hash table used exclusively for looking up types by name used to map
    quarks => types. But we can easily make it map strings => types, which
    avoids the quark lookup. And that in trun avoids taking a lock and
    consulting another hash table. So this change should make
    g_type_from_name() roughly twice as fast.
