This follows the usage in the glib codebase and recommendations at
main/docs/toolchain-requirements.md
It also fixes a build warning with ancient gcc 4.8:
../girepository/gitypelib-internal.h:202:1: warning:
no previous prototype for ‘_blob_is_registered_type’ [-Wmissing-prototypes]
`GITypeInfo` isn’t defined in `libgirepository-internals`, and that was
forcing us to do some header includes which violated the layering
between `libigrepository-internals` and `libgirepository`. Fix that by
moving the helper function to the header/source where `GITypeInfo` is
defined.
This fixes commit 54f156bd63.

When creating `GIBaseInfo` instances from binary blobs, so far the code
has used an undocumented implicit conversion from one enum type to the
other. That’s a bit nasty, as it means the two enum types need to be
kept in sync (without that need being documented).
Introduce an explicit conversion function to make things more explicit.
Currently it does nothing, but in an upcoming commit it will be used to
deprecate a blob 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 effectively reverts commit 0910e2f6ad. I thought that `GIInfoType`
was decoupled from `GITypelibBlobType`, but it turns out that
`girepository.c` calls `gi_info_new_full()` with blob types, implicitly
converting them to info types.
This was causing anything with a type higher than the `INVALID_0` value
to be loaded as the wrong type.

Rather than them being set and stored globally, make them members of
`GIRepository`. This helps us move away from the concept of a global
singleton `GIRepository`.
This is slightly complicated by the fact that the library paths are
needed within the module loading code in `GITypelib`, but at that point
the `GITypelib` doesn’t have access to its parent `GIRepository` to call
`gi_repository_get_library_path()`, so we have to cache them in
`typelib->library_paths`.
It also means that it’s no longer possible to retrieve the ‘unset’ paths
from the globals, so the test for that is removed from
`repository-search-paths.c`.
This commit makes some API breaks, but that’s OK because libgirepository
has not been in a stable release yet.

`GBytes` provides a way of handling const memory blobs, stolen memory
blobs, and mapped files. Rather than having `GITypelib` implement all of
those itself, just take a `GBytes` as input.
This is an API break, but libgirepository hasn’t been in a stable
release yet.

We just do a safe s/gsize/size_t/ replacement here without doing any
changes to places in which different size of size_t and gsize may be
actually different and create troubles.
It’s more descriptive and less offensive.
This is not an API break as it’s not a public API.

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`.
