Why not keep the current API and invent a new one for async operation?
Use gtk_file_system_async_foo() and the like, and just deprecate the
current API.  If you install a header file to a public system location,
 no matter what you say, it's a public interface.  If you want to change
that API incompatibly, you're obligated to increment gtk's major
version.  IM(NS)HO, of course.
