Commit 6bab939bf ("girffi.c: fix return value for g_callable_info_prepare_closure()")
effectively changes semantics of return value from code pointer to data pinter (closure).
`gjs` (and probably other software) relies on old (incorrect) semantics of
g_callable_info_prepare_closure(): https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gjs/-/issues/428
This change exposes the API that allows extracting directly
callacble code pointer. `gjs` will have to adapt to the new API.

This adds a header to the girepository library, which is then included
either directly or indirectly by the other headers so that all the public
symbols (and the 2 symbols in gitypelib-internal.h used by the tools) are
decorated by a macro, that can later be used to export the symbols and also
to be used to display compile-time warnings for usage of deprecated APIs,
which is like what is now being done in GLib (and GTK+, Clutter, and so
on).
This marks the first step that we begin to stop depending on the .symbols/
.def files to export the symbols.

- require GTK-Doc 1.19
- remove sgml mode
- automatically generate gi.types (needs GTK-Doc 1.19)
- fix https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=700025
[WIP] - rearange sections a bit
[WIP] - add gi-building, gi-programming sections
[WIP] - mark missing docs with TODO, which is only marginaly
better than nothing but at least can be grepped :)

Dealing with FFI and return values is very tricky; this API allows
sharing the bits to do it between gobject-introspection and gjs (and
potentially other FFI binding consumers).
**NOTE** I swapped the order of the arguments, under the premise that
out arguments should generally be last.

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.

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.)
