Add GObject Introspection support

GObject introspection allows other language bindings to read this
metadata that's now generated and automatically provide bindings
to call into the libxfce4util at runtime. For more info see:

So the GIR scanner tool requires that the filenames match the namespace which must match all the function prefixes. As we use xfce_ for a lot of the identifiers this won't work. Marking won't fix.

Add GObject Introspection support

This patch add the GObject introspection support and properly creates/populates the gir file which allows 4util to have bindings generated for python, javascript, etc.
