Add the main glib.h to internal.h so that all common code can use it.
Historically glib allowed applications to register an alternative
memory allocator, so mixing g_malloc/g_free with malloc/free was not
safe.
This was feature was dropped in 2.46.0 with:

Deprecate and drop support for memory vtables
Applications are still encourged to match g_malloc/g_free, but it is no
longer a mandatory requirement for correctness, just stylistic. This is
explicitly clarified in

gmem: clarify that g_malloc always uses the system allocator
Applications can still use custom allocators in general, but they must
do this by linking to a library that replaces the core malloc/free
implemenentation entirely, instead of via a glib specific call.
This means that libvirt does not need to be concerned about use of
g_malloc/g_free causing an ABI change in the public libary, and can
avoid memory copying when talking to external libraries.
This patch probes for glib, which provides the foundation layer with
a collection of data structures, helper APIs, and platform portability
logic.
Later patches will introduce linkage to gobject which provides the
object type system, built on glib, and gio which providing objects
for various interesting tasks, most notably including DBus client
and server support and portable sockets APIs, but much more too.

Various binaries are statically linking to libvirt_util.la and
other intermediate libraries we build. These intermediate libs
all get built into the main libvirt.so shared library eventually,
so we can dynamically link to that instead and reduce the on disk
footprint.
In libvirt-daemon RPM:
virtlockd: 1.6 MB -> 153 KB
virtlogd: 1.6 MB -> 157 KB
libvirt_iohelper: 937 KB -> 23 KB
In libvirt-daemon-driver-network RPM:
libvirt_leaseshelper: 940 KB -> 26 KB
In libvirt-daemon-driver-storage-core RPM:
libvirt_parthelper: 926 KB -> 21 KB
IOW, about 5.6 MB total space saving in a build done on Fedora 30
x86_64 architecture.

Vim has trouble figuring out the filetype automatically because
the name doesn't follow existing conventions; annotations like
the ones we already have in Makefile.ci help it out.
