Generate introspection data
Currently, the introspection data for GLib and its sub-libraries is
generated by gobject-introspection, to avoid the cyclic dependency
between the two projects.
Since gobject-introspection is generally available on installed systems,
we can check for its presence, and generate the introspection data
directly from GLib.
This does introduce a cyclic dependency, which is why it's possible to
build GLib without introspection, then build gobject-introspection, and
finally rebuild GLib.
By having introspection data available during the GLib build, we can do
things like generating documentation; validating newly added API; and
close the loop between adding new API and it becoming available to non-C
consumers of the C ABI (i.e. language bindings).
