Take a GError * for typelib loading code, validate the header. This
fixes bizarre errors from gjs where g_irepository_require would happily
load old typelibs.
Previously we had both e.g. GI_TYPE_TAG_LONG and GI_TYPE_TAG_INT64,
but in fact the typelib is already machine-specific, so it makes sense
to just encode this as a fixed type. The .gir remains abstract.
We also remove size_t from the typelib; one would never want to treat
it differently than an integer.
time_t is removed as well; while bindings like gjs had special handling
to turn it into e.g. a JS Date object, I don't think we should encourage
people to use these POSIX types in their API. Use GTimeVal or the like
instead.
Because the typelib is now really machine-specific, we need to remove
the -expected.tgirs from git. (We could potentially add a check
which wasn't just a literal diff later)

This patch adds support for instantiable fundamental object types,
which are not GObject based. This is mostly interesting for being
able to support GstMiniObject's which are extensivly used in GStreamer.
Includes a big test case to the Everything module (inspired by
GstMiniObject) which should be used by language bindings who wishes to
test this functionallity.
This patch increases the size of the typelib and breaks compatibility
with older typelibs.

Moving to <doc> allows us to better preserve whitespace. XML has no
facility for whitespace-preserving attributes.
Second, for arrays and lists, both types with unknown element_type can
occur in the current scanner; it's least wrong if we write out an
<any> type.
Any annotation where the key has a dot in the name will go into the
attribute list. For example
* @arg: (foo.bar baz): some arg
the parameter @arg will get the attribute with key foo.bar and value
baz. This also works for.
* Returns: (foo.bar2 baz2): the return value
Also add tests for this new feature.

Rectify an assumption that nodes are ordered according to offset
- since this assumption was not true, attributes ended up being not
ordered either and the bsearch() when looking up attributes failed
mysteriously. Instead of making such assumptions, simply sort the
list of nodes we want to extract attributes from.
The total attribute size computation was wrong as we didn't properly
descend into subnodes. This resulted in memory access violations
when writing the typelib (because not enough data was allocated).
Instead of having a separate function for this, just include the
attribute size in the existing function.

This work allows us to move closer to replacing gtk-doc, among other
things. We add a generic attribute "introspectable", and inside the
typelib compiler if we see "introspectable=no", we don't put it in the
typelib. This replaces the hackish pre-filter for varargs with a much
more generic mechanism.
The varargs is now handled in the scanner, and we emit
introspectable=no for them.
Add generic metadata to Node with references to file/line/column,
which currently comes from symbols.
Add scanner options --warn-all and --warn-error.

* girepository/gitypelib.c: Don't complain about constructors
returning types other than objects or interfaces if the container
type isn't an object or interface itself.
* giscanner/glibtransformer.py: Don't give up parsing a method just
because it's in the GLib namespace.

* girepository/*: Add g_property_info_get_ownership_transfer() and write
the transfer attribute of properties into the typelib.
* giscanner/*: Parse the (transfer) annotation and write it into the .gir.
* tools/generate.c: Read the transfer annotation for properties and write
to the .tgir.
