Fix/mute issues found by Coverity scan

This makes the code free of Coverity scan issues, except of the doc/
folder. It is sometimes quite pedantic and expects/suggests some
coding habits, thus certain changes may look weird, but for a good
thing, I hope. The code is also tagged with Coverity scan
suppressions, to keep the code as is and hide the warning too.
Also note that Coverity treats g_return_if_fail(), g_assert() and
similar macros as unreliable, and it's true these can be disabled
during the compile time, thus it brings in other set of 'weird'
changes.
