From: Marc-André Lureau <marcandre.lureau@redhat.com>
A link property can be set during creation, with
object_property_add_link() and later with object_property_set_link().
add_link() doesn't add a reference to the target object, while
set_link() does.
Furthemore, OBJ_PROP_LINK_UNREF_ON_RELEASE flags, set during add_link,
says whether a reference must be released when the property is destroyed.
This can lead to leaks if the property was later set_link(), as the
added reference is never released.
Instead, rename OBJ_PROP_LINK_UNREF_ON_RELEASE to OBJ_PROP_LINK_STRONG
and use that has an indication on how the link handle reference
management in set_link().

The difference between add_link() and set_link() is a bit confusing.
Maybe we can mention it explicitly in the documentation of the two
functions, and also explain the rationale for add_link() not ref'ing the
object?
Also, more immediately:
> /* Unref the link pointer when the property is deleted */
This is wrong now.
