This adds a header to the girepository library, which is then included
either directly or indirectly by the other headers so that all the public
symbols (and the 2 symbols in gitypelib-internal.h used by the tools) are
decorated by a macro, that can later be used to export the symbols and also
to be used to display compile-time warnings for usage of deprecated APIs,
which is like what is now being done in GLib (and GTK+, Clutter, and so
on).
This marks the first step that we begin to stop depending on the .symbols/
.def files to export the symbols.

This includes config.h in all the C-sources of girepository so that we can
get the correct export directive from config.h during compile time and
therefore export the symbols as necessary, like what GLib and GTK+ is
currently doing.

Knowing the ownership transfer for instance parameters is
necessary for correct memory management of functions which
"eat" their instance argument, such as g_dbus_method_invocation_return_*.
Parse this information from the gir file and store in the
typelib, and then provide new API on GICallableInfo to
retrieve this.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=729662
Parse the 'nullable' attribute on parameters and function return types.
Additionally, tweak the meaning of the 'allow-none' attribute. We now
only treat it as equivalent to 'nullable' for non-out parameters. For
out parameters, we treat it to mean the same as the already-recognised
'optional' parameter (which we only recently started actually using).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=660879
Use ParseState enum instead of a boolean for the ParseContexts embedded_type
flag. This allows specific tracking of the embedded type currently being
parsed which can now either be STATE_STRUCT_FIELD or STATE_CLASS_FIELD (or
allow for future expansion). Add ParseState::STATE_NONE as the default for
this field.
Fix GObject FieldBlob validation to take into account the sizeof
CallbackBlobs (copied from the struct validator).
Add static g_object_info_get_field_offset which parallels
g_struct_info_get_field_offset which is needed since callback fields may
vary in size.

The typelib compiler was writing uninitialised memory to the output file.
There were two sources of this uninitialised memory: the hash writer included
some uninitialised memory in its output, and the bytes added after the hash
output for padding were also not being initialised.
Fix this by passing the padded size to the hash code writer function and
having that function initialise the entire memory region to zero before
writing.

Aliasing TRUE or FALSE is not very common, but done occasionally
for extra clarity. Namely G_SOURCE_REMOVE / G_SOURCE_CONTINUE are
self-explanatory, unlike the "raw" booleans.

Don't assume that the parent of a GIVFuncInfo is a GIObjectInfo,
it could be a GIInterfaceInfo, if the vfunc is part of interface
instead of a class.

- require GTK-Doc 1.19
- remove sgml mode
- automatically generate gi.types (needs GTK-Doc 1.19)
- fix https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=700025
[WIP] - rearange sections a bit
[WIP] - add gi-building, gi-programming sections
[WIP] - mark missing docs with TODO, which is only marginaly
better than nothing but at least can be grepped :)

GTK-Doc description fields for tags can contain multiple lines and
even multiple paragraphs. Whitespace cannot be preserved in XML
attributes, so we move the "deprecated" description text into
a "<doc-deprecated />" element right next to where we already have
the "<doc />" element. Keep the "deprecated" attribute around for
backwards compatibility though, but set its value to "1" (analogous
to the "writable", "contruct", etc attributes) if the annotated
symbol is marked as deprecated.
While at it, add <doc-version /> and <doc-stability /> which
was not yet available in the .gir files...
This takes care of the "Since:", "Stability:" and "Deprecated:"
GTK-Doc tags. Nothing needs to be done for the "Returns:" tag as
as we already write a "<doc />" child element on "<return-value />".
Update parser to use g_ascii_strcasecmp instead of strcmp. This fixes
incorrect flags being set when the incomming gir is using lowercase values
for the "when" attribute.

vala generates this, and we need to honor it now that we're using the
c:prefix as an optimization when searching for gtypes.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/697759
When g_irepository_find_by_gtype() doesn't succeed on a simple prefix
match (the current 'fastpass' mechanism), it ends up taking a
considerable amount of CPU time, traversing the contents of all typelibs.
I imagine that the reasons to have the exhaustive search fallback are
not as strong as they used to be. For example, the case mentioned
(Clutter including Cogl) no longer seems to be true.
Also, typelibs (as generated by g-ir-scanner) now provide
comma-separated C prefix info for cases when the typelib includes
introspection info for multiple prefixes. For example, the Sugar typelib
has a c_prefix string of Sugar,EggSM,Gsm,Acme. So I imagine there are
not many remaining justified cases where the exhaustive search is needed.
With that in mind, I found two ways to optimize this function:
1. Support comma-separated C prefixes
2. Don't bother with an exhaustive search if we did find a typelib
claiming support for the prefix. For example, if we're looking for
GdkDeviceManagerXI2 (currently non-introspectable) and we already found
typelib files providing the 'Gdk' prefix that didn't offer this, lets
not bother with the exhaustive search, we aren't going to find anything.
They could be freed in separate threads (e.g. language binding GC
thread). But no particular reason to change other than noticing it
during code inspection for a different bug.

Previously we would require applications that shipped with private
typelibs to add the private path to LD_LIBRARY_PATH, or to have a
launcher binary with the right RPATH.
Now they can just call GIRepository.prepend_library_path() before
they access the module.

Rather than having a regex for both builds, but *also* use a symbol
file for the MSVC build which would bitrot quickly, force us to update
the .symbols file by using it for Unix too.
Add some missing symbols.
This is the listing of symbols to export from the main libgirepository
.dll/.so. This is used for example to generate the .lib file from the
Windows DLL.

-Make code using libgirepository_internals relocatable on Windows,
like what is done in the GTK+ stack, and the girepository DLL.
-Remove C99isms
-"interface" is a reserved keyword on certain compilers, so change that to
"giinterface"
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=681820
...So that it will compile on non-C99 compilers. The changes are mainly
moving the variable declarations to the start of the resecptive blocks.
Also, replace the use of buflen in chd.c as it might not be defined for all
platforms, instead using packed_cr_size as it seems to represent the value
that is to be printed/displayed by the debugging output.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=681820
Namely, those that are methods and those that throw GErrors.
We have very similar code in two places that calculate arg lengths and
argument types to stick into libffi. Merge, clean up, and correct both.
