GLib is an extremely common library that has a portable thread implementation
along with tons of other goodies.

GLib and GObject have a fantastic amount of infrastructure we can leverage in
QEMU including an object oriented programming infrastructure.

Short term, it has a very nice thread pool implementation that we could leverage
in something like virtio-9p.  It also has a test harness implementation that
this series will use.

It would be preferable to specify an explicit '--atleast-version=2.xxx'
since I doubt QEMU will work with all 2.x versions of glib. Obviously
the min version will limit what platforms QEMU can easily be deployed
on, so we need to be as flexible as possible.

Yeah, right now, we don't really depend on a specific version but it would be good to have for when we do.

The testing bits are not part of the main build (they depend on a pretty recent glib).
