The previous patch to bump glib to 2.42 hit problems with Peter's build
environment for testing merge:

  https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2018-05/msg02557.html

This posting drops back to 2.40, which allows Ubuntu 14.04 from GLibC
compile farm to be supported.

It does NOT try to go back to 2.34, because it is hoped that the mxe.cc
Debian packages will be suitable for Peter to test Windows
cross-compile. Alternatively the docker environments provided in tree
can be used for mingw build testing on any host able to run docker.

I also dropped some more GLIB_CHECK_VERSION checks that are redundant
given the new min version.

Daniel P. Berrangé (3):
  glib: bump min required glib library version to 2.40
  glib: enforce the minimum required version and warn about old APIs
  util: remove redundant include of glib.h

Note that updating to MXE is still on my todo list; I'll let
you know when I get to it...
