Eric Blake cc9f60d4a2 qobject: Protect against use-after-free in qobject_decref()
Adding an assertion to qobject_decref() will ensure that a
programming error causing use-after-free will result in
immediate failure (provided no other thread has started
using the memory) instead of silently attempting to wrap
refcnt around and leaving the problem to potentially bite
later at a harder point to diagnose.

* QObject Reference Counts Terminology
* ------------------------------------
*
* - Returning references: A function that returns an object may
* return it as either a weak or a strong reference. If the reference
* is strong, you are responsible for calling QDECREF() on the reference
* when you are done.
*
* If the reference is weak, the owner of the reference may free it at
* any time in the future. Before storing the reference anywhere, you
* should call QINCREF() to make the reference strong.
*
* - Transferring ownership: when you transfer ownership of a reference
* by calling a function, you are no longer responsible for calling
* QDECREF() when the reference is no longer needed. In other words,
* when the function returns you must behave as if the reference to the
* passed object was weak.
