Philip Withnall 2a99d4b168 girepository: Expose GITypeInfo and GIArgInfo as stack allocatable
There are a handful of APIs in libgirepository which are used on
performance-sensitive code paths in language bindings (such as looking
at arguments when doing function calls). Historically libgirepository
has provided a stack-allocated variant for them, which avoids returning
a newly allocated `GIBaseInfo`. Since moving to glib.git and porting to
`GTypeInstance`, that stack allocated version has been broken.

This commit fixes it, by exposing obfuscated stack allocatable versions
of `GITypeInfo` and `GIArgInfo`, which are the two `GIBaseInfo`
subtypes which can be returned by the stack allocation functions.

The commit includes unit tests for them.
