This should make the code a bit more usable in situations where people
aren’t potentially using MSVC.

Rename them to `gi-decompile-repository` and `gi-inspect-repository` to
match the existing `gi-compile-repository`. The names have to differ
from those used in girepository-1.0 to avoid collisions.
‘generate’ has been changed to ‘decompile’ because it does the inverse
of what `gi-compile-repository` does: it converts a typelib to a GIR
file. ‘generate’ never really made much sense for this anyway — it’s
almost a synonym of ‘compile’.

These can then be used by a parent project if GLib is used as a Meson
subproject.
In particular, GJS wants to use `GLib-2.0.typelib`
from GLib-as-a-subproject, but doesn’t want to hardcode the path to it
inside the GLib builddir.

Fixes: #3244
Adapt gi-compile-repository sources to compile against the updated
libgirepository that is included with GLib.
This also renames "g-ir-compiler" to "gi-compile-repository" to avoid
overwriting the existing binary and to simplify the binary name going
forward.
To enable tests which depend on libgirepository's GIR and typelib,
we need to refactor the order we're currently building these items.
We can also move everything under girepository/ to cleanup the
top-level.
This removes the gthash utility functions from the ABI, so link those
into their automated test statically.

Boxed types are already represented within `GIInfoType`, so they should
have a `GType` representation as well.
In an upcoming commit, this will allow us to represent the subtype
relation between `GIBoxedInfo` and `GIRegisteredTypeInfo` too.

Flag enums are already treated as a special kind of enum within
`GIInfoType`, so it would be tidier to give it its own `GType` too, with
a subtype relation to `GI_TYPE_ENUM_INFO`.
This will simplify implementing `GI_IS_ENUM_INFO` in a following commit
too.

It’s a separate type, so it would be less confusing if it were in its
own file.
This doesn’t change any API.

The library shipped by gobject-introspection.git was
`libgirepository-1.0.so`, but for some reason (accident?), it was
accompanied by `GIRepository-2.0.gir`. That’s been the case for the last
6 years.
In moving libgirepository to glib.git, we’ve bumped the version to
`libgirepository-2.0.so`, and have changed the API.
In order to avoid a collision between the new `GIRepository-2.0.gir` and
the old `GIRepository-2.0.gir`, we can either:
* Rename the basename of the library (confusing).
* Re-version the whole thing to 3.0 (would mean it’s completely out of
sync with the rest of glib.git, and would lead to build system
misery).
* Re-version only the GIR file (a bit confusing, but hopefully less
confusing).
So I’ve done the final option: glib.git now ships
`libgirepository-2.0.so` and `GIRepository-3.0.gir`. This avoids
collisions with what’s shipped by gobject-introspection.git, while
hopefully still making some sense.
We considered using version number 2.1 rather than 3.0, but decided
against it because that makes it look like it’s compatible with version
2.0, which it isn’t.
Note that none of these changes touch the
`${prefix}/lib/girepository-1.0` and `${prefix}/share/gir-1.0`
directories. The version numbers in those refer to the versions of the
GIR and typelib file formats, which have not changed.

For the moment, this is enough to roughly verify that the port to
`GTypeInstance` has not massively broken things. It’s not anywhere near
sufficient to qualify as a proper test suite though.

If they’re all named after the actual library name, rather than a
contraction of it, that’s easier to remember so they can be easily
referenced elsewhere in the build system (such as when adding unit
tests).
This introduces no functional changes.

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).

`gthash.c` transitively includes it.
Most of this commit is just moving variables around so `gi_visibility_h`
is defined early enough in the file. The moved code has not been changed.

These are all custom-written, including a load of research in `git log`

With this, `reuse lint` raises no complaints about the `girepository/`

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.
