This is needed because `GITypelib` is exposed in the public
libgirepository API, so needs to be introspectable.
This should fix a couple of warnings about `gi_repository_require()` and
related APIs not being introspectable as they return an unintrospectable
type.

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.

`GBytes` provides a way of handling const memory blobs, stolen memory
blobs, and mapped files. Rather than having `GITypelib` implement all of
those itself, just take a `GBytes` as input.
This is an API break, but libgirepository hasn’t been in a stable
release yet.

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

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.
