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 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.

Now that libgirepository uses `GI_AVAILABLE_IN_*` macros, that’s what
controls symbol visibility. The `_` prefixes are redundant, and out of
keeping with the rest of GLib.

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.
