[gnome-builder/wip/chergert/flatpak-breakout: 7/7] sandboxing: add subprocess abstraction



commit 72288ffaa0f6c14cc9de505ff5d4aaaaf41dc673
Author: Christian Hergert <chergert redhat com>

    sandboxing: add subprocess abstraction
    
    To support Building applications while running from inside the sandbox, we
    need to allow breaking out of the sandbox for such tooling. For example,
    we want to run the build tooling for flatpaks from the host system (since
    we wont have sufficient privileges inside the sandbox).
    
    This abstracts our use of GSubprocess so that we can have multiple
    implementations. Sadly, since GSubprocess is not an interface, we cannot
    simply create an alternate implementation.
    
    There are two implementations of the abstraction. IdeSimpleSubprocess is
    just a wrapper around GSubprocess (since our API is almost identical).
    Additionally, we have IdeHostProcess which is a process that runs within
    the host system, via the --allow=devel support in flatpak. Also required
    --talk-name=org.freedesktop.Flatpak.

+ *
+ * This is a tough problem.  We have to watch 5 things at the same time:
+ *
+ *  - writing to stdin made progress
+ *  - reading from stdout made progress
+ *  - reading from stderr made progress
+ *  - process terminated
+ *  - cancellable being cancelled by caller
+ *
+ * We use a GMainContext for all of these (either as async function
+ * calls or as a GSource (in the case of the cancellable).  That way at
+ * least we don't have to worry about threading.
+ *
+ * For the sync case we use the usual trick of creating a private main
+ * context and iterating it until completion.
+ *
+ * It's very possible that the process will dump a lot of data to stdout
+ * just before it quits, so we can easily have data to read from stdout
+ * and see the process has terminated at the same time.  We want to make
+ * sure that we read all of the data from the pipes first, though, so we
+ * do IO operations at a higher priority than the wait operation (which
+ * is at G_IO_PRIORITY_DEFAULT).  Even in the case that we have to do
+ * multiple reads to get this data, the pipe() will always be polling
+ * as ready and with the async result for the read at a higher priority,
+ * the main context will not dispatch the completion for the wait().
+ *
+ * We keep our own private GCancellable.  In the event that any of the
+ * above suffers from an error condition (including the user cancelling
+ * their cancellable) we immediately dispatch the GTask with the error
+ * result and fire our cancellable to cleanup any pending operations.
+ * In the case that the error is that the user's cancellable was fired,
+ * it's vaguely wasteful to report an error because GTask will handle
+ * this automatically, so we just return FALSE.
+ *
+ * We let each pending sub-operation take a ref on the GTask of the
+ * communicate operation.  We have to be careful that we don't report
+ * the task completion more than once, though, so we keep a flag for
+ * that.
