It was deprecated since before libgirepository was moved into this
repository. Take the opportunity now to remove it entirely, as it’s a
bit confusing to have it in the public API.
This should not affect the binary typelib format, as it still has its
`BLOB_TYPE_INVALID_0` member, and that will remain in place until the
binary format next breaks compatibility (no plans to do that).
This is an API break in libgirepository, but since it’s not been in a
stable release yet, that’s fine.

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).

Move the SECTION into the struct docs, update the documentation comment
syntax, and add `Since: 2.80` everywhere.

Otherwise the GIR generation for libgirepository doesn’t work, as GLib
doesn’t get pulled in to provide basic types.

After bumping the major version number, we don’t need backwards

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.
