We attempted to return a value in void-return-type functions in both
gicallableinfo.c and gitypeinfo.c, so avoid that since that will trigger a
C4098 warning on Visual Studio, which is considered an error if we are building
against an installed version of GLib 2.68.x or later.
This will fix builds against GLib-2.68.x and later on Visual Studio.
This adds gi_type_tag_argument_from_hash_pointer() and
gi_type_tag_hash_pointer_from_argument(). They do the same thing as
the corresponding g_type_info_... functions, which are used to pack and
unpack the correct field of a GIArgument into/from a data pointer in
GHashTable or GList, regardless of machine architecture or endianness.
These functions take a GITypeTag obtained from
g_type_info_get_storage_type(), instead of a GITypeInfo pointer. (The
storage type is the only piece of data that is actually used from the
GITypeInfo structure.)
It's intended for bindings using an argument cache, such as GJS and
PyGObject, so that they don't have to store a whole 64-bit GITypeInfo
pointer in their cache in many common cases, and can just store the 5-bit
type tag instead.
The original g_type_info_... functions are reimplemented in
terms of the new g_type_tag... functions.
This functionality is used in both PyGObject and GJS, and if not done
correctly can lead to architecture-specific bugs. It seems best to add
API in gobject-introspection for the correct way to do it.

Move things around and rename things until gtk-doc is happy.
This also moves the "Since" annotations to the next stable releases and
adds version added info for g_callable_info_get_instance_ownership_transfer()
and g_struct_info_find_field().
Note that (direction [in]out) parameters are only pointers if the
underlying type being transferred is a pointer, i.e. if the formal
parameter is a pointer to a pointer or deeper.

This includes config.h in all the C-sources of girepository so that we can
get the correct export directive from config.h during compile time and
therefore export the symbols as necessary, like what GLib and GTK+ is
currently doing.

- 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 :)

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.
