64762fdef6 gi-decompile-typelib: Interpret --includedir as most-important-first
This is a behaviour change from g-ir-generate, which treats it as
least-important-first (the last directory on the command-line is
searched first).

gi-compile-repository --includedir and gcc -I are most-important-first
(the first directory on the command-line is searched first) so it seems
like it makes most sense to be consistent with that.

4c178fa623 build: Combine duplicate urlmap.js files
Seems no point in keeping them separate. It doesn’t seem to matter if
they contain entries which are unused for a particular docs build.

8248382d8b gi-inspect-repository: Change --version argument to --typelib-version
`--version` is conventionally used to find the version of the program
itself. While that’s not currently implemented in
`gi-inspect-repository`, let’s not box ourselves into a corner.

343027d5de girepository: Make GIInfoType private
Eventually, we want to move to using `GType` directly for everything,
since `GIBaseInfo` and its subclasses are all using `GTypeInstance`.

However, that requires quite a lot of changes and we’re about to hit the
API freeze.

So do the smallest set of changes possible to remove `GIInfoType` and
related functions from the public API, which gives us freedom to make
more changes later without breaking API.

beb59595b7 gibaseinfo: Rename gi_info_new() to gi_base_info_new()
It’s actually a factory method rather than a constructor, since
`GIBaseInfo` is abstract, but despite that, changing the name so it sits
inside the `GIBaseInfo` class makes sense. There is no `GIInfo` type.

5cc5f413f5 gitypelib: Switch to refcounting
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.

01f9796532 girepository: Add length ‘out’ arguments to several getter methods
This makes them consistent with the other getter methods in
`GIRepository` which return lists/arrays. It’s useful to return the
length, as that means the caller doesn’t have to work it out by
iterating over the entire array.

11e8075e51 giunioninfo: Split success and return value for get_discriminator_offset()
Otherwise there’s no obvious suitable return value to return when the
union is *not* discriminated.

This is an API break, but libgirepository has not been in a stable
release yet, so that’s fine.

7acef299c2 girepository: Fix declaration of ‘find using interfaces’ methods
Fix the declaration and documentation of
`gi_object_info_find_method_using_interfaces()` and
`gi_object_info_find_vfunc_using_interfaces()`. The documentation was
wrong when I wrote it: the value returned is the object or interface
which declares the method or vfunc, not the one which implements it.

The returned declarer info may be a `GIObjectInfo` or a
`GIInterfaceInfo`. Since those two types have no subtype relation
between them, the return type has to be changed to `GIBaseInfo`. Using
`GIObjectInfo` would have been fine in girepository-1.0 because all
`*Info` types were aliases of each other — but since the move to
`GTypeInstance` this is no longer true.

A unit test will be in the following commit.

aa28326b87 docs: Allow building man pages without the reference documentation
Now that the reference documentation uses gi-docgen, it's more
troublesome to generate in less standard build scenarios like
cross-compiling.

In distributions like Debian, reference documentation is generally
packaged separately (in libglib2.0-doc in Debian's case), but man pages
are generally packaged alongside the executables themselves (in the
libglib2.0-bin and libglib2.0-dev-bin packages, in Debian's case). We
can exclude the reference documentation when cross-compiling, but ideally
we would like the man pages to still be built, so that a cross-compiled
libglib2.0-bin or libglib2.0-dev-bin package has the same content as a
native build.
