GTK2 is long dead upstream and increasingly hard to keep building on
current distros. This series ports perf's GTK-based report browser to
GTK4 and fixes it up so it's actually loadable at runtime after the
port.
Patch 1 does the mechanical port (build system, widget API changes).
Patch 2 fixes a runtime issue found after the port that prevented the
browser from loading. Patch 3 fixes leftover GTK2 calls the port missed
and a list-corruption race with the SIGINT/SIGTERM/etc. signal handler.

Changes in v4:
- Fix gtk_widget_show()/gtk_widget_hide() calls left over from the GTK2
port: both were removed in GTK 4. Replace with gtk_widget_set_visible(),
adding a small wrapper for the info-bar "response" signal callback
- Block SIGSEGV/SIGFPE/SIGINT/SIGQUIT/SIGTERM around the
perf_gtk__error_loops list updates in perf_gtk__error(): the signal
handler (perf_gtk__signal() -> perf_gtk__exit() ->
perf_gtk__quit_error_dialog()) walks that same list and could fire
mid-update, corrupting it

Changes in v3:
- Fix GMainLoop leak if perf_gtk__error() is called re-entrantly: track
active loops in a list instead of a single global pointer
- Add explicit <stdarg.h>/<stdio.h> includes instead of relying on
transitive inclusion, which musl doesn't guarantee
- Drop the gtk4-infobar feature check and HAVE_GTK_INFO_BAR_SUPPORT:
GtkInfoBar has been unconditionally available since well before GTK 4,
and the check was failing outright due to its deprecation warning
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260906-perf-gtk2-v2-0-3eccff053cd1@gmail.com
Changes in v2:
- Fix error dialog's nested GMainLoop hanging if the parent window
closes or a signal arrives while the dialog is open (quit from
"destroy", not just "response")
- Fix build with GTK_INFO_BAR_SUPPORT: gtk_info_bar_get_content_area()
is gone in GTK 4, use gtk_info_bar_add_child() instead
- Fix use-after-free in the progress dialog on manual close
- Fix reuse of an exhausted va_list in the vasprintf() failure path
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260906-perf-gtk2-v1-0-7564bf8523a9@gmail.com
