Libgirepository is not GLib, and it should not use GLIB_DEPRECATED,
GLIB_DEPRECATED_FOR, and GLIB_UNAVAILABLE macros (as the GLib
documentation clearly states).
When using them, we don't get the proper macro expansion, so deprecated
symbols suddenly disappear from our shared library.
This adds the following macros and functions: GI_MAJOR_VERSION, GI_MICRO_VERSION,
GI_MINOR_VERSION, GI_CHECK_VERSION, gi_get_major_version,gi_get_micro_version,
gi_get_minor_version.
Since we share a prefix with glib we have to namespace these by using the gi_
prefix. g_gi would also work but we already export symbols with gi_ like
gi_cclosure_marshal_generic(), gi_type_tag_get_ffi_type() and
gi_type_info_extract_ffi_return_value(), so let's not add another naming scheme.
Move things around and rename things until gtk-doc is happy.
This also moves the "Since" annotations to the next stable releases and
adds version added info for g_callable_info_get_instance_ownership_transfer()
and g_struct_info_find_field().
g_irepository_get_dependencies() is supposed to return the transitive
closure of all dependencies of the given namespace. However, it just
loads the dependencies field from the typelib, which is supposed to only
list immediate dependencies.
Introduce a new g_irepository_get_immediate_dependencies() which does
this, and rewrite g_irepository_get_dependencies() to build the
transitive closure of all its namespace dependencies. This does not
require loading any new typelibs, as the transitive closure of
dependencies should already have been loaded by g_irepository_require()
or g_irepository_load_typelib().

This adds a header to the girepository library, which is then included
either directly or indirectly by the other headers so that all the public
symbols (and the 2 symbols in gitypelib-internal.h used by the tools) are
decorated by a macro, that can later be used to export the symbols and also
to be used to display compile-time warnings for usage of deprecated APIs,
which is like what is now being done in GLib (and GTK+, Clutter, and so
on).
This marks the first step that we begin to stop depending on the .symbols/
.def files to export the symbols.
