Generalize "throws" attribute to SignatureBlob which can be used by all
callable blob types. Keep FunctionBlob and VFuncBlob throw attributes
around and functional for compatibility. Refactor girwriter.c to write
out throws attribute for all callable types.

g_irepository_get_dependencies() is supposed to return the transitive
closure of all dependencies of the given namespace. However, it just
loads the dependencies field from the typelib, which is supposed to only
list immediate dependencies.
Introduce a new g_irepository_get_immediate_dependencies() which does
this, and rewrite g_irepository_get_dependencies() to build the
transitive closure of all its namespace dependencies. This does not
require loading any new typelibs, as the transitive closure of
dependencies should already have been loaded by g_irepository_require()
or g_irepository_load_typelib().

Virtual functions can definitely throw an error. Right now the
scanner omits the GError parameter for them and adds throws="1", but
g-ir-compiler ignores this.

Instead of storing the name of the function to call to get the
error quark, store the string form of the error quark, which
we derive from the introspection binary during scanning.
Update EnumBlob and GIEnumInfo to include the new information.
This will allow determining a back-mapping from error quark
to error domain without having to dlsym() and call all the
known error quark functions.
Based on earlier patches from Owen Taylor and Maxim Ermilov.

The previous ErrorDomain blob was never actually scanned or used, and
it was kind of a lame API conceptually.
To keep some compatibility, rather than removing the enumeration
values, rename them to _INVALID, and don't bump the typelib version.
This should in theory allow a new libgirepository to read an old
typelib.

The C compiler will pick an enumeration type that accomodates the specified
values for the enumeration, so ignoring 64-bit enumerations, we can
have enumeration values from MININT32 to MAXUINT32. To handle this properly:
- Use gint64 for holding eumeration values when scanning
- Add a 'unsigned_value' bit to ValueBlob so we can distinguish the
int32 vs. uint32 cases in the typelib
- Change the return value of g_value_info_get_value() to gint64.

Commit f97cc8687469f25752f79275 broke the lookup in
g_irepository_get_info; the passed offset is 0-based, then
we convert it to 1-based (and then back to 0 later...which needs
to be fixed).
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.

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.
