[gobject-introspection] scanner: Don't try to copy c:type if we're parsing (element-type)

[Colin Walters <walters src gnome org>]

commit cef390f65ffe9e51b103fcb29ee177882f762a0e
Author: Colin Walters <walters verbum org>

    scanner: Don't try to copy c:type if we're parsing (element-type)
    
    Commit 81abc2eb63317003a11d1484e84698a37e8ec035 tries harder to keep
    the c:type if it was overriden by a (type) annotation.  However, the
    _resolve() function was also called for (element-type), which had
    undesirable effects - we'd copy the container c:type to the element
    type.
    
    Fix this by splitting out the c:type preservation to only happen when
    processing toplevel types.
