The source ID number is an alternative way to identify a source that has
been added to a GMainContext. Internally when a source ID is given, glib
will lookup the corresponding GSource and use that. The use of a source
ID is racy in some cases though, because it is invalid to continue to
use an ID number after the GSource has been removed. It is thus safer
to use the GSource object directly and have full control over the ref
counting and thus cleanup.

We need to be able to create event loop watches using the
GSource API for sockets. GIOChannel is able todo this, but
we don't want to use the GIOChannel APIs for reading/writing,
and testing shows just using its GSource APIs is unreliable
on Windows.
This patch thus creates a standalone helper API for creating
a GSource for a socket file descriptor. This impl is derived
from code in QEMU's io/channel-watch.c file that was written
by myself & Paolo Bonzini & thus under Red Hat copyright.
