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.

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.
