Philip Withnall c498c9a8c9 docs: Split out platform specific GIO and GLib documentation
This creates `GioUnix`, `GioWin32`, `GLibUnix` and `GLibWin32`. These
bodies of documentation are in addition to the main, platform agnostic,
documentation for both libraries.

This commit necessarily includes various mechanical changes to update
the repository namespace used in various existing documentation links to
platform specific APIs.

# Migrating from POSIX to GIO
## Comparison of POSIX and GIO concepts
The final two entries in this table require including `gio-unix-2.0.pc` as well
as `gio-2.0.pc` in your build (or, in GIR namespace terms, `GioUnix-2.0` as well
as `Gio-2.0`).
| POSIX | GIO |
|-----------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------|
| `char *path` | [iface@Gio.File] |
| `struct stat *buf` | [class@Gio.FileInfo] |
| `struct statvfs *buf` | [class@Gio.FileInfo] |
| `int fd` | [class@Gio.InputStream] or [class@Gio.OutputStream] |
| `DIR *` | [class@Gio.FileEnumerator] |
| `fstab entry` | [`GUnixMountPoint`](../gio-unix/struct.UnixMountPoint.html) |
| `mtab entry` | [`GUnixMountEntry`](../gio-unix/struct.UnixMountEntry.html) |
