gi-compile-repository --module and gi-decompile-typelib --shlib are
intentionally undocumented here: they will be removed in !3926.

This is a behaviour change from g-ir-generate, which treats it as
least-important-first (the last directory on the command-line is
searched first).
gi-compile-repository --includedir and gcc -I are most-important-first
(the first directory on the command-line is searched first) so it seems
like it makes most sense to be consistent with that.

Seems no point in keeping them separate. It doesn’t seem to matter if
they contain entries which are unused for a particular docs build.

`--version` is conventionally used to find the version of the program
itself. While that’s not currently implemented in
`gi-inspect-repository`, let’s not box ourselves into a corner.

Eventually, we want to move to using `GType` directly for everything,
since `GIBaseInfo` and its subclasses are all using `GTypeInstance`.
However, that requires quite a lot of changes and we’re about to hit the
API freeze.
So do the smallest set of changes possible to remove `GIInfoType` and
related functions from the public API, which gives us freedom to make
more changes later without breaking API.

It’s actually a factory method rather than a constructor, since
`GIBaseInfo` is abstract, but despite that, changing the name so it sits
inside the `GIBaseInfo` class makes sense. There is no `GIInfo` type.

Since `GITypelib` is exposed in the public libgirepository API, it needs
to be a boxed type. So we either need to add a `copy` method to mirror
the existing `free` method, or switch to refcounting. The latter option
seems better, since a `GITypelib` contains internal state about open
`GModule`s and the semantics for copying that would be potentially
complex.

This makes them consistent with the other getter methods in
`GIRepository` which return lists/arrays. It’s useful to return the
length, as that means the caller doesn’t have to work it out by
iterating over the entire array.

Otherwise there’s no obvious suitable return value to return when the
union is *not* discriminated.
This is an API break, but libgirepository has not been in a stable
release yet, so that’s fine.

Fix the declaration and documentation of
`gi_object_info_find_method_using_interfaces()` and
`gi_object_info_find_vfunc_using_interfaces()`. The documentation was
wrong when I wrote it: the value returned is the object or interface
which declares the method or vfunc, not the one which implements it.
The returned declarer info may be a `GIObjectInfo` or a
`GIInterfaceInfo`. Since those two types have no subtype relation
between them, the return type has to be changed to `GIBaseInfo`. Using
`GIObjectInfo` would have been fine in girepository-1.0 because all
`*Info` types were aliases of each other — but since the move to
`GTypeInstance` this is no longer true.
A unit test will be in the following commit.

Now that the reference documentation uses gi-docgen, it's more
troublesome to generate in less standard build scenarios like
cross-compiling.
In distributions like Debian, reference documentation is generally
packaged separately (in libglib2.0-doc in Debian's case), but man pages
are generally packaged alongside the executables themselves (in the
libglib2.0-bin and libglib2.0-dev-bin packages, in Debian's case). We
can exclude the reference documentation when cross-compiling, but ideally
we would like the man pages to still be built, so that a cross-compiled
libglib2.0-bin or libglib2.0-dev-bin package has the same content as a
native build.
