gsettings: Update abicheck.sh script

gcc-9 is including `mangle_path` in the symbols of
gsettings/libdconfsettings.so when building with support for gcov
(--coverage). This means that our ignored symbols had to be updated.

Update abicheck.sh so the test suite passes again. Also include a
comment to explain the above and how the test works.

+# The following checks that gsettings/libdconfsettings.so only has
+# dconf_* symbols.
+#
+# We also make sure to ignore gcov symbols included when building with
+# --coverage, which usually means the following:
+#
+# __gcov_error_file
+# __gcov_master
+# __gcov_sort_n_vals
+# __gcov_var
+#
+# And starting with gcc-9, also this one:
+#
+# mangle_path
