Rather than mixing `-1` and valid indexes, split out the indication of
whether the type is an array with a length argument from the actual
index of the length argument.

`-1` isn’t part of `GIArrayType`, so it’s not particularly type safe to
return it from `gi_type_info_get_array_type()`. Instead, make it an
error to call that function on a type which isn’t an array type.

Return information about whether the type is a fixed-size array
separately from the array size, which allows us to use the full `size_t`
for the array size.

Review and update the documentation, making sure it’s complete,
formatted in gi-docgen format, and has all appropriate GIR annotations
and `Since:` lines.

Move the SECTION into the struct docs, update the documentation comment
syntax, and add `Since: 2.80` everywhere.

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
`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`.

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 pkg-config file sets the include directory to the level above
