Rather than having bindings use g_function_info_invoke, which is basically
a toy/demo API, export a convenience utility function which takes the introspection
information and sets up things we need to pass to libffi.
Then invocation can be done directly to libffi by a binding.
As part of this work, remove some (unused by gjs) public functions from the
girffi API, and instead export a function to map to libffi which can work
semi-correctly.

Due to a missing header, gobject-introspection fails to compile on OpenBSD.
And only due to headers-including-headers practice this doesn't blow up on
many other platforms.

Add type tags for short and ushort, plus all of the requisite code needed
to utilize them in libgirepository.
Add support in the scanner's AST files.
Add test functions to the everything library and the expected gir file.
gtypelib.c constant validation fixed by Colin Walters <walters@verbum.org>
Extract a function to convert GITypeTag to ffi_type from the internals
of ginvoke.c. This will be useful in figure out structure alignment.
Also fix handling of gsize and time_t to be portable. (Add a check
to configure.ac to figure out the width of time_t.)
