flatpak-utils.c is getting quite large, and is a mixture of code with and without non-GLib dependencies, making it inconvenient to reuse in other projects (like Steam's pressure-vessel) or link into Flatpak services that don't need all of our dependencies (json-glib, appstream, ostree). One obvious piece of low-hanging fruit for reducing the size of this file is to move the GLib backports into their own translation unit. Sort them by GLib version, so that when we increase our GLib dependency it's easy to delete the ones that are no longer applicable. No functional changes intended in this commit.
