This doesn’t change the type hierarchy for now (i.e. it introduces no
functional changes), but it will allow us to add some intermediate types
into the `GIBaseInfo` hierarchy in an upcoming commit.

This doesn’t change any of the flags for now (i.e. it introduces no
functional changes), but it will allow us to make some of the types
abstract in an upcoming commit.

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 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).
