And rename it to `gi_repository_get_shared_libraries()`. Previously it
returned a comma-separated string, which wasn’t particularly typesafe or
machine-friendly. Now it returns the same data as an array.
This is an API break in libgirepository, but since it’s not been in a
stable release yet, that’s fine.

We used to store the search paths into a GSList but this is not
efficient for various reasons, so replace this with an array so that we
can replace return just a GStrv in the public API.
Review and update the documentation, making sure it’s complete,
formatted in gi-docgen format, and has all appropriate GIR annotations
and `Since:` lines.

Accepting two filenames as a string comma-separated string seems like a
layering violation: this is a public API which could be used in places
other than directly off a set of command line arguments.
Move the command line argument parsing to the command line callback.

It’s not intended that most people will use this, but it’s going to be
quite useful for adding unit tests — we don’t really want the unit tests
to share global state (a singleton `GIRepository`) between tests.

This adds more type safety to libgirepository, and allows
differentiating the `GIBaseInfo` derived types using the type system.
Two new derived types had to be added (previously they were just a
collection of helper methods which worked directly on a `GIBaseInfo` and
didn’t check types): `GICallbackInfo` and `GIUnresolvedInfo`.
Further cleanups and refactoring might be needed on this, but the core
of libgirepository now uses `GTypeInstance` and appears to still work
(it’s difficult to be entirely sure because there are no unit tests
yet).

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`.

Add the SPDX license runes to all the files which have an obvious
copyright header already. This is a mechanical edit.

The introspection API has lived out of tree far too long. It has the
same ABI guarantees as the rest of GLib, so it has no reason to be split
from the main library.
The gobject-introspection project can depend on libgirepository, and the
language bindings can drop the gobject-introspection-1.0 dependency.
