During development, I got a 'make check' failure that claimed:

qemu-img returned status code 32512
**
ERROR:tests/libqos/libqos.c:202:mkimg: assertion failed: (!rc)

But 32512 is too big for a normal exit status value, which means we
failed to use WEXITSTATUS() to shift the bits to the desired value
for printing.  However, instead of worrying about how to portably
parse g_spawn()'s rc in the proper platform-dependent manner, it's
better to just rely on the fact that we now require glib 2.40 (since
commit e7b3af815) and can therefore use glib's portable checker
instead, where the message under my same condition improves to:

Child process exited with code 127
**
ERROR:tests/libqos/libqos.c:192:mkimg: assertion failed: (ret && !err)

This appears to be the only remaining vestige of a comment mentioning
glib < 2.40.
