gitypelib: Switch to refcounting

Browse Source 
Since `GITypelib` is exposed in the public libgirepository API, it needs
to be a boxed type. So we either need to add a `copy` method to mirror
the existing `free` method, or switch to refcounting. The latter option
seems better, since a `GITypelib` contains internal state about open
`GModule`s and the semantics for copying that would be potentially
complex.
