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

tests).

It’s not intended that most people will use this, but it’s going to be
quite useful for adding unit tests — we don’t really want the unit tests
to share global state (a singleton `GIRepository`) between tests.

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).

This method doesn’t return a `GType`, so when the code gets ported to

These aren’t needed at the moment, since all the `TypeInfo` structs in
libgirepository are all aliases for each other.
An upcoming commit will change that, however, so we need to be a little
bit stricter about type safety in advance.

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`.

Make sure that each C file in `girepository/` includes its corresponding
header file (if such a file exists).
This ensures that the first declaration the compiler sees for each
function contains the symbol visibility macros. This fixes symbol export
(`dllexport`) on Windows platforms.

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.
