gobject: add GSignalGroup

Much like GBindingGroup, the GSignalGroup object allows you to connect many
signal connections for an object and connect/disconnect/block/unblock them
as a group.

This is useful when using many connections on an object to ensure that they
are properly removed when changing state or disposing a third-party
object.

This has been used for years in various GNOME projects and makes sense to
have upstream instead of multiple copies.

+ * SECTION:gsignalgroup
+ * @Title: GSignalGroup
+ * @Short_description: Manage a collection of signals on a GObject
+ *
+ * #GSignalGroup manages to simplify the process of connecting
+ * many signals to a #GObject as a group. As such there is no API
+ * to disconnect a signal from the group.
+ *
+ * In particular, this allows you to:
+ *
+ *  - Change the target instance, which automatically causes disconnection
+ *    of the signals from the old instance and connecting to the new instance.
+ *  - Block and unblock signals as a group
+ *  - Ensuring that blocked state transfers across target instances.
+ *
+ * One place you might want to use such a structure is with #GtkTextView and
+ * #GtkTextBuffer. Often times, you'll need to connect to many signals on
+ * #GtkTextBuffer from a #GtkTextView subclass. This allows you to create a
+ * signal group during instance construction, simply bind the
+ * #GtkTextView:buffer property to #GSignalGroup:target and connect
+ * all the signals you need. When the #GtkTextView:buffer property changes
+ * all of the signals will be transitioned correctly.
+ *
+ * Since: 2.72
