It's unnecessary, and only adds visual noise; we have been fairly
inconsistent in the past, but the semi-colon-less version clearly
dominates in the code base.

If we have an input parameter (or return value) we need to use (nullable).
However, if it is an (inout) or (out) parameter, (optional) is sufficient.
It looks like (nullable) could be used for everything according to the
Annotation documentation, but (optional) is more specific.
Since all element markup is now gone from the doc comments,
we can turn off the gtk-doc sgml mode, which means that from
now on, docbook markup is no longer allowed in doc comments.
To make this possible, we have to replace all remaining
entities in doc comments by their replacement text, & -> &
and so on.
Make sure we escape any special characters that are found in annotation
names or values to avoid emitting a malformed XML document in response
to an Introspect call.

Ignore qualified (in the XML namespace sense) tags and attributes when
parsing D-Bus introspection XML.
This will allow people to add custom tags and attributes to their D-Bus
interfaces without tripping up GDBus.

In order to be able to cope with the introspection XML
from the Telepathy specification, which uses attributes
like tp:type and tp:name-for-bindings, we need to ignore
unknown attributes when parsing.

Accept (and silently ignore) version attributes on <interface>
and <method> elements - these occur in the wild, and ignoring
them does not cost us anything.
We were getting our length zero, yet NULL-terminated arrays in
a twist in some places. Stop passing around ignored length arguments
at the same time.

Things compile and the test-suite passes. Still need to hook up
gio.symbols and docs. There are still a bunch of TODOs left in the
sources that needs to be addressed.
