[glib/glib-2-58: 44/55] Spelling: avoid the "allows to" pattern



commit 6c806c2a60112032641768dde3df6becb8268b90

    Spelling: avoid the "allows to" pattern
    
    This is detected by Debian's Lintian tool, which suggests
    "allows one to" as a replacement. I've rephrased the documentation
    in question to avoid both of those.
