These follow GObject conventions, using `G_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE_CAST` to
cast to the given type, and potentially performing some runtime checks
of the type instance’s `GType` too.

This means they’re now using the `GType` type system rather than the old
`GIInfoType` type system. Given the preceding few commits, these two
systems should now be equivalent.
This makes the type handling more conventional and hence a bit simpler
for people to use if they have experience with GObject.

This makes `GIBaseInfo` and derived types more consistent with GObject
convention, and thus a bit more comfortable to use.

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.
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 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.

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`.

The pkg-config file sets the include directory to the level above
`girepository/`, just like with GIO, GObject and GModule.

Add the SPDX license runes to all the files which have an obvious
copyright header already. This is a mechanical edit.

The introspection API has lived out of tree far too long. It has the
same ABI guarantees as the rest of GLib, so it has no reason to be split
from the main library.
The gobject-introspection project can depend on libgirepository, and the
language bindings can drop the gobject-introspection-1.0 dependency.
