Since we switched from autotools to Meson in commit
94592c14, we don't need to include
`config.h` early to properly enable large file support.  Meson passes
the required macros on the compiler command line instead of defining
them in `config.h`.

This means we can include `config.h` at any time, whenever we want to
check its macros, and there are no ordering constraints.

This adds a bit of overhead, but also adds flexibility to the API,
because arbitrary triggers may be invoked from that virtual method
implementation, not just Cond::signal().

The motivation for this is to make the handlers more dynamic, for the
upcoming buffering class utilizing ProxyInputStream.

This eliminates some overhead, because the compiler doesn't need to
consider these functions throwing.

Has been moved to class InputStream long ago.

Remove the "whence" parameter that is not actually necessary, and only
complicates the InputStream implementations.

Replace InputPlugin attributes.

Replaces the method Close().

Prepare for adding virtual methods.

Decouple some more from GLib.

Replaces GLib's GError.
