This reverts commit a7077b8e354d90fec26c2921aa2dea85b90dff90,
and add comments to explain why child sources cannot be used.

When a GSource is added as a child of another GSource, if its
'prepare' function indicates readiness, then the parent's
'prepare' function will never be run. The io_watch_poll_prepare
absolutely *must* be run on every iteration of the main loop,
to ensure that the chardev backend doesn't feed data to the
frontend that it is unable to consume.

At the time a7077b8e354d90fec26c2921aa2dea85b90dff90 was made,
all the child GSource impls were relying on poll'ing an FD,
so their 'prepare' functions would never indicate readiness
ahead of poll() being invoked. So the buggy behaviour was
not noticed and lay dormant.

Relatively recently the QIOChannelTLS impl introduced a
level 2 child GSource, which checks with GNUTLS whether it
has cached any data that was decoded but not yet consumed:

  commit ffda5db65aef42266a5053a4be34515106c4c7ee

    io/channel-tls: fix handling of bigger read buffers

    Since the TLS backend can read more data from the underlying QIOChannel
    we introduce a minimal child GSource to notify if we still have more
    data available to be read.

With this, it is now quite common for the 'prepare' function
on a QIOChannelTLS GSource to indicate immediate readiness,
bypassing the parent GSource 'prepare' function. IOW, the
critical 'io_watch_poll_prepare' is being skipped on some
iterations of the main loop. As a result chardev frontend
asserts are now being triggered as they are fed data they
are not ready to consume.

A reproducer is as follows:

 * In terminal 1 run a GNUTLS *echo* server

   $ gnutls-serv --echo \
                 --x509cafile ca-cert.pem \
                 --x509keyfile server-key.pem \
		 --x509certfile server-cert.pem \
		 -p 9000

 * In terminal 2 run a QEMU guest

   $ qemu-system-s390x \
       -nodefaults \
       -display none \
       -object tls-creds-x509,id=tls0,dir=$PWD,endpoint=client \
       -chardev socket,id=con0,host=localhost,port=9000,tls-creds=tls0 \
       -device sclpconsole,chardev=con0 \
       -hda Fedora-Cloud-Base-39-1.5.s390x.qcow2

After the previous patch revert, but before this patch revert,
this scenario will crash:

  qemu-system-s390x: ../hw/char/sclpconsole.c:73: chr_read: Assertion
  `size <= SIZE_BUFFER_VT220 - scon->iov_data_len' failed.

This assert indicates that 'tcp_chr_read' was called without
'tcp_chr_read_poll' having first been checked for ability to
receive more data

QEMU's use of a 'prepare' function to create/delete another
GSource is rather a hack and not normally the kind of thing that
is expected to be done by a GSource. There is no mechanism to
force GLib to always run the 'prepare' function of a parent
GSource. The best option is to simply not use the child source
concept, and go back to the functional approach previously
relied on.
