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.

The scan methods must be "noexcept".

Replaces decoder_data() and others.

Replaces decoder_initialized().

Prepare for a Decoder API redesign based on an abstract class with
virtual methods.

The old struct config_param remains only for top-level string options.

Prepare to migrate away from GLib.  Currently, we're still using GLib
as a backend.

Replaces GLib's GError.
