 *
 * This method will not be called in normal use, however it may be
 * called when probing existing modules and recording which extension
 * points that this model is used for. This means we won't have to
 * load and initialze this module unless its needed.
 *
 * If this function is not implemented by the module the module will
 * always be loaded, initialized and then unloaded on application startup
 * so that it can register its extension points during init.
 *
 * Note that a module need not actually implement all the extension points
 * that g_io_module_query returns, since the exact list of extension may
 * depend on runtime issues. However all extension points actually implemented
 * must be returned by g_io_module_query() (if defined).
 *
 * When installing a module that implements g_io_module_query you must
 * run gio-querymodules in order to build the cache files required for
 * lazy loading.
 *
 * Returns: (transfer full): A %NULL-terminated array of strings, listing the supported
 *     extension points of the module. The array must be suitable for
 *     freeing with g_strfreev().
 *
 * Since: 2.24
