Bug 799324 - Invalid free in gvalue_from_kvp_value()

Browse Source 
As of ddc3f28899, gvalue_from_kvp_value()
takes a GValue pointer from the caller, which in some cases points to
memory on the stack.  If that is the case and the code also hits the
default case in the switch statement, the unconditional g_slice_free()
call will attempt to free stack memory, causing the program to abort.

Fix by requiring the caller to always pass in a valid GValue pointer,
making the caller responsible for freeing it if necessary.  This also
means that it is no longer necessary for gvalue_from_kvp_value() to
return a value, so make it a void function.
