This seems to have been a remnant of support for embedding the typelib
in the shared library, which was removed from this tool in commit 4bf5ef6b
"[girepository] Actually verify header of loaded typelibs in
g_irepository_require" (originally gobject-introspection@05ffd857).
The feature of embedding the typelib in a shared library was itself
removed in commit b2df59c3 "compiler: Remove --code argument",
originally gobject-introspection@ac81f3e8, with a note that because
we rely on being able to load the shared library into g-ir-scanner,
anything that links g-ir-scanner output into the shared library would be
a circular dependency.

Update the code to the latest standards and to use girepository-2.0
after it’s been imported to this repository.

Rename them to `gi-decompile-repository` and `gi-inspect-repository` to
match the existing `gi-compile-repository`. The names have to differ
from those used in girepository-1.0 to avoid collisions.
‘generate’ has been changed to ‘decompile’ because it does the inverse
of what `gi-compile-repository` does: it converts a typelib to a GIR
file. ‘generate’ never really made much sense for this anyway — it’s
almost a synonym of ‘compile’.
