[gobject-introspection/wip/transformer: 2/3] [girwriter] For arrays and lists, write <any> if we don't know a type

[Colin Walters <walters src gnome org>]

commit 7b894634fe3220b682613b5e0ced5310f9e7e636

    [girwriter] For arrays and lists, write <any> if we don't know a type
    
    Both types with unknown element_type can occur in the current scanner;
    it's least wrong if we write out an <any> type.
