g_assert_cmpmem and glib 2.46

Hey,

I keep thinking that we should maintain compatibility with Ubuntu
14.04, which isn't EOL yet. Ubuntu 14.04 has GLib 2.40. Maybe we
should keep the same deps until MM 1.10 is released and then just go
on and bump deps to newer versions. There are a bunch of GLib features
that I wouldn't mind to start using, truth be told...

For this specific patch, I think that we should skip using
g_assert_cmpmem() if possible, or otherwise just #ifdef it under a
GLIB_CHECK_VERSION() check.
