g-ir-scanner currently maps these to lower-level types at scan time by
assuming that time_t is an alias for long, off_t is an alias for size_t
and so on. This is not always accurate: some ILP32 architectures have
64-bit time_t (for Y2038 compatibility) and 64-bit off_t (for large file
support), and that mismatch is tracked as GNOME/gobject-introspection#494.
One option for resolving this g-ir-scanner bug is to have it pass these
types through to the GIR XML, and teach g-ir-compiler and its replacement
gi-compile-repository to convert them to the corresponding concrete
type tag, as they already do for abstract types such as `long long` and
`size_t`.
Loosely based on GNOME/gobject-introspection!451 by Shuyu Liu.

We don't actually need to use the results of configure-time checks here:
sizeof is a perfectly reasonable integer constant expression, so we can
use that directly.

These scripts use $(readlink -f) to guess their own path if necessary,
but macOS readlink doesn't support the -f option, and POSIX doesn't
guarantee that readlink even exists.

The `gi-docgen` tool is not designed to be used like that. In
particular, when nesting documentation directories, the generated
`*.devhelp2` files (needed by Devhelp to show the documentation) are
nested one directory level too deep for Devhelp to find them, and hence
are useless, and the documentation doesn’t show up in this common
documentation viewer.
So, change the installed documentation directory hierarchy:
* `${PREFIX}/share/doc/glib-2.0/gio` → `${PREFIX}/share/doc/gio-2.0`
* `${PREFIX}/share/doc/glib-2.0/glib-unix` →
`${PREFIX}/share/doc/glib-unix-2.0`
* `${PREFIX}/share/doc/glib-2.0/gobject` →
`${PREFIX}/share/doc/gobject-2.0`
* etc.
* `${PREFIX}/share/doc/glib-2.0/glib` → `${PREFIX}/share/doc/glib-2.0`
This is going to seem like pointless churn (the contents of the
documentation have not changed), and packagers may mourn the split of
content in `/usr/share/doc` from `/usr/share/doc/${package_name}` to
`/usr/share/doc/${pkg_config_id}` instead, but that seems to be the best
approach to fix this issue in GLib. gi-docgen’s behaviour does feel
fairly consistent and correct with the rest of how it works (single
output directory).

The gdbus-example-objectmanager visibility header was being re-created
on reconfigure, causing a needless rebuild of gdbus tests that were
using the visibility header.
All other invocations of gen_visibility_macros are via custom_target.
The documentation previously implied that they could. That’s not really
true though: they can only fail if preconditions fail, i.e. they’re
passed invalid input. That’s a programmer error, which is not something
we want to encourage people to check for at runtime (e.g. by dynamically
checking for a 0 return value).

This is nowhere near a complete check-through and gi-docgenification of
the signals docs, just a few bits I was looking at anyway.

We install gvariant-specification-1.0.html to `docs_dir` but that shouldn't require `enable_gir`.
