Vladimír Čunát 7fbcc56260 add introspection into GTK libs (part of #517)
This is all work of Marc Weber <marco-oweber@gmx.de>, except for a few nitpicks.

Tested space blowup: IMHO negligible to headers and similar stuff,
e.g. the firefox closure (reported by du) grows from 560 to 579 MB.
Saving space should be handled separately,
e.g. we have the multiple-outputs branch.

GObject introspection is a middleware layer between C libraries (using
GObject) and language bindings. The C library can be scanned at compile
time and generate a metadata file, in addition to the actual native C
library. Then at runtime, language bindings can read this metadata and
automatically provide bindings to call into the C library.
