    gkeyfile: Add load_from_string API that is easy to use from GI
    
    load_from_data has the issue that it requires you to pass an explicit
    length. It would be easy to pass -1, except the argument is unsigned,
    and since (gsize) -1 is architecture-dependent, it is near impossible to
    use from a language like Python.
