glib-2.0: fix CVE-2026-58016

A flaw was found in GLib. A state confusion issue exists in
g_dbus_node_info_new_for_xml() in the gio/gdbusintrospection.c file when
processing malformed D-Bus introspection XML, specifically with a <node>
element nested within other elements like <method>, <signal>, <property>
or <arg>. This issue can cause an unsigned integer overflow and lead to an
out-of-bounds read, resulting in a denial of service.

The CVE NVD entry is wrong, it indicates that the CVE is fixed in 2.88.1
but the fix was realized in 2.89.0, see [1]. The fix is not present in 2.88.2.

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] gdbusintrospection: Fix XML parser state handling for
<node> element nesting
The check for whether a `<node>` element in D-Bus introspection XML was
nested correctly was broken. `<node>` elements can only be at the top
level, or nested immediately within another `<node>` element.
Fix the check and add some unit tests for it.
Spotted by linhlhq as #YWH-PGM9867-204. The fix is mine, and the unit test
uses example XML strings adapted from their report.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] gdbusintrospection: Add some assertions before array
dereferences
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
The state handling inside the D-Bus introspection XML parser is
complicated, and its possible that these dereferences of the
`len - 1`th element might get reached when the array is empty.
Make failures like that more debuggable by adding an assertion on the
length beforehand.
