gobject: loosen property override flag restrictions
GObject enforces the following restrictions on property overrides: - must only add abilities: if the parent class supports readability/writability then the subclass must also support them. Subclasses are free to add readability/writability. - must not add additional restrictions: if the parent class doesn't have construct/construct-only restrictions then the subclass must not add them. Subclasses are free to remove restrictions. The problem with the previous implementation is that the check against adding construct/construct-only restrictions was being done even if the property was not previously writable. As an example: "readable" and "writable only on construct" was considered as being more restrictive than "read only". This patch tweaks the check to allow the addition of construct/construct-only restrictions for properties that were previously read-only and are now being made writable. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=666615
