[Bug 1794544] [NEW] [SRU] 2.56.3

[Iain Lane]

Public bug reported:

[ Description ]

The third stable release in the 2.56 series.

[ QA ]

Upstream release, so QA already performed by maintainers

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates/GNOME

[ Regresison potential ]

Various fixes in multiple places so multiple apps could be affected.

  * New upstream release (LP: #xxx)
    + The documentation for G_GNUC_MALLOC has changed to be more restrictive
      to avoid miscompilations; you should check whether any uses of it in
      your code are appropriate
    + Fix cancellation of g_subprocess_communicate_async() calls
    + Bug fixes:
      + /network-monitor/create-in-thread fails in (LXC) containers on glib-2-56
      + GBookmarkFile: nullptr access in current_element
      + GBookmarkFile: heap-buffer-overflow in g_utf8_get_char
      + Backport g_subprocess_communicate() cancellation fixes from !266 to 
        glib-2-56 (LP: #1789476)
      + Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC are incorrect
      + Test for BROKEN_IP_MREQ_SOURCE_STRUCT is broken on Windows / Mingw
      + Fix persistent CI failure on glib-2-56
