THRIFT-3285 c_glib: Library: Build without compiler warnings

These changes allow the C (GLib) library to be built without
warnings from the compiler, even with extra compiler warnings
enabled. The changes involve

- Moving variable declarations to the top of every code block,

- Using unions instead of type-punning to follow strict-aliasing
  rules,

- Replacing variable-length array declarations with arrays
  allocated on the stack (using g_newa and g_alloca),

- Casting void pointers to a suitably sized data type before
  performing arithmetic on them,

- Replacing C++-style ("//") comments with C-style equivalents,
  and

- Removing an errant semicolon and comma.

This closes #576
