    Don't use deprecated g_object_newv()

    Use g_object_new() instead which nowadays has a shortcut for the
    no-properties check. It still does an extra GType check in the
    function guard, but there's a pending patch to remove that
    and it's hardly going to be a performance issue in practice,
    even less so on a system that's compiled without run-time checks.

    Alternative would be to move to the new g_object_new_properties()
    with a fallback define for older glib versions, but it makes the
    code look more unwieldy and doesn't seem worth it.

    Fixes deprecation warnings when building against newer GLib versions.
