We used to use unsigned values, while they should be big enough to old
the data we're handling here, it's cleaner and clearer if we use size_t
as type for such values, as it makes straight forward to understand what
a value should contain. It also makes these values more future proof.
We just do a safe s/gsize/size_t/ replacement here without doing any
changes to places in which different size of size_t and gsize may be
actually different and create troubles.
It was deprecated since before libgirepository was moved into this
repository. Take the opportunity now to remove it entirely, as it’s a
bit confusing to have it in the public API.
This should not affect the binary typelib format, as it still has its
`BLOB_TYPE_INVALID_0` member, and that will remain in place until the
binary format next breaks compatibility (no plans to do that).
This is an API break in libgirepository, but since it’s not been in a
stable release yet, that’s fine.

Review and update the documentation, making sure it’s complete,
formatted in gi-docgen format, and has all appropriate GIR annotations
and `Since:` lines.

This makes it more conventional for how `GType` code is normally written.
This introduces no functional changes, but it is an API break.

This adds more type safety to libgirepository, and allows
differentiating the `GIBaseInfo` derived types using the type system.
Two new derived types had to be added (previously they were just a
collection of helper methods which worked directly on a `GIBaseInfo` and
didn’t check types): `GICallbackInfo` and `GIUnresolvedInfo`.
Further cleanups and refactoring might be needed on this, but the core
of libgirepository now uses `GTypeInstance` and appears to still work
(it’s difficult to be entirely sure because there are no unit tests
yet).

This method doesn’t return a `GType`, so when the code gets ported to
`GTypeInstance` in an upcoming commit, that will become quite confusing.
Rename it to `gi_base_info_get_info_type()` instead.
This introduces no functional changes, but it is an API break.

The `type` field will eventually disappear, so use an accessor method to
get it.

Now that libgirepository uses `GI_AVAILABLE_IN_*` macros, that’s what
controls symbol visibility. The `_` prefixes are redundant, and out of
keeping with the rest of GLib.

Rather than a mix of structs being in `GI` and their methods being in
`g_`.
We’ve chosen not to use the `g_` namespace because a number of the
libgirepository class names are quite generic, so we’d end up with
confusing symbols like `GScopeType` and `GArgument`.

Make sure that each C file in `girepository/` includes its corresponding
header file (if such a file exists).
This ensures that the first declaration the compiler sees for each
function contains the symbol visibility macros. This fixes symbol export
(`dllexport`) on Windows platforms.

Add the SPDX license runes to all the files which have an obvious
