Clarify the licensing of the code generated by the two scripts in a
comment in the header of each generated file. The intention is that the
license of GLib does *not* apply to the generated files; but that they
are subject to the linking restrictions of the LGPL, since they link to
GLib and GLib is licensed under the LGPL. The generated files themselves
are under the license of whatever project they’re generated for.

Commit 31ae2c5598 added the C++ guards
around all prototypes, including inside the header file. The header
file, though, already has C++ guards, so while it's harmless to have
them there, it's also unnecessary.
We should only emit C++ guards around the prototypes we include in the
generated source.
Since --header --body has been deprecated and replaced with --body
--prototypes, the generated body is not wrapped with G_{BEGIN,END}_DECLS
any longer. Projects using C++ break due to that. Automatically wrap
prototypes individually in G_{BEGIN,END}_DECLS instead.

When using the `--header --body` compatibility mode, we need to emit
things we generally define in the header, such as the aliases for
standard marshallers, and aliases for deprecated tokens.
This fixes dbus-binding-tool, which is using `--header --body` and
deprecated tokens.

We're in the process or rewriting other tools in Python to reduce the
number of dependencies of GLib.
Additionally, making glib-genmarshal a Python script reduces the
complexity when cross-compiling, as we don't need a native build to
generate the marshallers.
