The logic in the ‘is the array null or empty’ check was disjunctive
rather than conjunctive. If (str_array == null), the condition would
have short-circuited and tried to evaluate str_array.length, which would
have crashed.

At present, only a handful of the G_TYPE_* are declared as constants
GType defines, adding a hurdle to vala programs wanting to use
GObject's fundamental type introspection facilities.

This commit simply adds declarations for all the constant-valued GTypes
listed in the GObject documentation.

Added signal constants: CLD, EMT, INFO, IO, LOST, PWR, WINCH

This patch also adds Valadoc documentation for the signals based on the
Open Group documentation for signal.h and the header bits/signum.h in
GNU's libc version 2.22

Include the prototype-string of base-method for easier error finding.

Running with G_DEBUG=fatal-warnings makes those fail to easily, so only
pass it to positive test-cases.

Don't throw an error on unexpected owned/unowned classification and
output why it is superfuous in this context.

It is safe to do for callables which don't have out/ref parameters without
breaking the control-flow.
