[glib]: bump version to 2.74.0

[theartful]

Describe the pull request

Update glib to 2.74.0. Glib now uses git submodules for gvdb, and vcpkg_from_gitlab does not fetch submodules, so I resorted to vcpkg_download_distfile.
I don't know of any other library that uses gvdb, so I think it's okay not to create an entire recipe for it.

@hesham-essam ,Thanks for your pr, when I tested the feature by command "./vcpkg install glib[*]:x64-linux",
I got this error, could you please take a look?

Since vcpkg doesn't care for docs, it doesn't need gtkdocize. You may turn this step into a no-op by adding this to the portfile:

set(ENV{GTKDOCIZE} true)

Cf. libidn2, libtasn1.

[JonLiu1993]

I add set(ENV{GTKDOCIZE} true) to libmount portfile.cmake and fix the error, but got the another one:

Has header "afunix.h" : NO

[dg0yt]

Has header "afunix.h" : NO

On my linux machine, afunix.h comes with Ubuntu package linux-headers. (FTR this package is also needed by port openssl, and that port carries a reminder message.)

[theartful]

@JonLiu1993
Glib does not have a hard dependency on afunix.h. I get the same message as well, but glib builds without problems all the same (and vcpkg doesn't complain either):

Code:
 
        #ifdef __has_include
         #if !__has_include("afunix.h")
          #error "Header 'afunix.h' could not be found"

Are you sure this is the cause of the build failure?

@hesham-essam , I use command "./vcpkg install glib[*]:x64-linux" tested again,
this is error log, please take a look:

@JonLiu1993 I removed my gtkdocize, reproduced the issue, then applied @dg0yt suggested solution, and things should work now. Please try again.

[theartful]

@JonLiu1993 Well, to enable selinux support, you have to have libselinux installed. If you're on ubuntu, try sudo apt install libselinux1-dev

[JonLiu1993]

All features are tested successfully in the x64-linux triplet
