So that it matches `gi_arg_info_get_type_info()`. We can’t use
`gi_arg_info_get_type()` because that collides with the `GType` getter
for the type.

This brings its naming more in line with modern GLib conventions.
This is an API break, but libgirepository is not API frozen yet.

Most of the code for handling stack-allocated infos was correct, it was
just missing code to initialise the `GTypeInstance` member.
Since `GTypeInstance` isn’t really designed for stack allocation, this
is a little hacky — it requires setting up the member within
`GTypeInstance` manually. It works, though.
The externally visible consequence of this, though, is that
stack-allocated `GIBaseInfo`s now need to be cleared when they’re
finished being used. This allows the `GTypeClass` ref to be dropped.
All users of the stack-allocated APIs in libgirepository will need to
adapt to this change.

We are using various indexes types, but not always using the correct
sign or size, so let's adapt this to ensure we're consistent with the
values we're comparing with.
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 method doesn’t return a `GType`, so when the code gets ported to
`GTypeInstance` in an upcoming commit, that will become quite confusing.
Rename it to `gi_base_info_get_info_type()` instead.
This introduces no functional changes, but it is an API break.

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`.

Add the SPDX license runes to all the files which have an obvious
copyright header already. This is a mechanical edit.
