[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Add support for generating GIR (#1112)

[Colomban Wendling]

Support here is *optional*, as in it does *not* require even the GIR M4 macros to be available -- but then the generated build system can't generate GIR.  This avoids a hard dependency on GIR for the cost of a configure-time conditional with basic fallback definitions.

As stated in the first commit, it's mostly ripped off Peasy, maybe there are additional change required, but it seems to mostly work.  However, I see a lot of scary warnings like these:
```
…/doc/geany-sciwrappers-gtkdoc-tmp.h:25: syntax error, unexpected '*', expecting ')' or ',' in 'void scintilla_object__GI__MARK_set_text (ScintillaObject *sci, const gchar *text);' at '*'
…/doc/geany-sciwrappers-gtkdoc-tmp.h:25: syntax error, unexpected ')', expecting ',' or ';' in 'void scintilla_object__GI__MARK_set_text (ScintillaObject *sci, const gchar *text);' at ')'
…/doc/geany-sciwrappers-gtkdoc-tmp.h:43: syntax error, unexpected '*', expecting ')' or ',' in 'void scintilla_object__GI__MARK_start_undo_action (ScintillaObject *sci);' at '*'
…/doc/geany-sciwrappers-gtkdoc-tmp.h:64: syntax error, unexpected '*', expecting ')' or ',' in 'void scintilla_object__GI__MARK_end_undo_action (ScintillaObject *sci);' at '*'

```
