There have been some improvements to the tool recently, but it's hard to
know if those are available on a given system unless the tool provides a
--version commandline option.

Add --dependency-file=foo.d option to generate a gcc -M -MF style
dependency file for other build tools. The current output of
--generate-dependencies is only useful for use directly in Makefile
rules, but can't be used in other build systems like that.
The generated dependency file looks like this:
$ glib-compile-resources --sourcedir= test.gresource.xml --dependency-file=-
test.gresource.xml: test1.txt test2.txt test2.txt
test1.txt:
test2.txt:
test2.txt:
Unlike --generate-dependencies, the --dependency-file option can be
used together with other --generate options to create dependencies
as side-effect of generating sources.

The changes in this patch, compared to his are to always return
the hash table with file information from parse_resource_file, so
we can use it for dependency output, regardless if generate_dependencies
was TRUE or not.

It's hardly useful to bloat the resource data with blanks intended only
for human readability, so add a preprocessing option that uses xmllint --noblanks
to strip these.
Bug #667929.
