Set dispose as dispose function on source. dispose will be called once
the reference count of source reaches 0 but before any of the state of the
source is freed, especially before the finalize function is called.
This means that at this point source is still a valid glib.Source and it is
allow for the reference count to increase again until dispose returns.
The dispose function can be used to clear any "weak" references to the
source in other data structures in a thread-safe way where it is possible
for another thread to increase the reference count of source again while
it is being freed.
The finalize function can not be used for this purpose as at that point
source is already partially freed and not valid anymore.
This should only ever be called from glib.Source implementations.
