548ec9f186 accidentally moved the GVariant
spec to the toplevel /usr/share/doc directory, which is surely not
right. Let's move it back into the glib-2.0 subdirectory.
It's debatable whether this is the best place to install the GVariant
specification, since it's not part of the gi-docgen docs, but surely
it's much better than not putting it in any subdirectory.
Fixes#3351
The source language of GLib is technically en-US, so we should
consistently use en-US spellings.

The `gi-docgen` tool is not designed to be used like that. In
particular, when nesting documentation directories, the generated
`*.devhelp2` files (needed by Devhelp to show the documentation) are
nested one directory level too deep for Devhelp to find them, and hence
are useless, and the documentation doesn’t show up in this common
documentation viewer.
So, change the installed documentation directory hierarchy:
* `${PREFIX}/share/doc/glib-2.0/gio` → `${PREFIX}/share/doc/gio-2.0`
* `${PREFIX}/share/doc/glib-2.0/glib-unix` →
`${PREFIX}/share/doc/glib-unix-2.0`
* `${PREFIX}/share/doc/glib-2.0/gobject` →
`${PREFIX}/share/doc/gobject-2.0`
* etc.
* `${PREFIX}/share/doc/glib-2.0/glib` → `${PREFIX}/share/doc/glib-2.0`
This is going to seem like pointless churn (the contents of the
documentation have not changed), and packagers may mourn the split of
content in `/usr/share/doc` from `/usr/share/doc/${package_name}` to
`/usr/share/doc/${pkg_config_id}` instead, but that seems to be the best
approach to fix this issue in GLib. gi-docgen’s behaviour does feel
fairly consistent and correct with the rest of how it works (single
output directory).

This is nowhere near a complete check-through and gi-docgenification of
the signals docs, just a few bits I was looking at anyway.

We install gvariant-specification-1.0.html to `docs_dir` but that shouldn't require `enable_gir`.

The current output (more or less a straight copy of the wiki) is available
here:
https://gi.readthedocs.io
This contains two changes:
* Converts all (not completely outdated) wiki pages to a sphinx based
documentation.
* Converts the man pages to reST and adds a Makefile for building them
using rst2man. So they can be easily exposed in the sphinx docs.
Goals:
* Have a user focused/compact documentation instead of random wiki pages
with various todo/ideas pages.
* Take advantage of the gitlab MR workflow by
* allowing large documentation changes/refactorings with reviews
* allowing to combine features changes with documentation changes in MRs
The "--code" option was removed years ago in ac81f3e8c5f1c380d16677232d67466e739da283
so remove references to it from README and g-ir-compiler(1)
Remove the "--no-init" option from g-ir-compiler and g-ir-compiler(1)
as it was documented to "can only be used if --code is also specified",
so no reason to keep it around.

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.

So now introspection users will have to call `GLibUnix.open_pipe()`
rather than `GLibUnix.unix_open_pipe()` — or
`GLibWin32.check_windows_version()` rather than
`GLibWin32.win32_check_windows_version()`.

This creates `GioUnix`, `GioWin32`, `GLibUnix` and `GLibWin32`. These
bodies of documentation are in addition to the main, platform agnostic,
documentation for both libraries.
This commit necessarily includes various mechanical changes to update
the repository namespace used in various existing documentation links to
platform specific APIs.

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.
