    build: Enable subdir-objects and symlink GI files
    
    Currently we compile some of gobject-introspection's installed test code
    into our tests. In the next major version of Automake, this will not be
    supported anymore; object files and other compilation byproducts will be
    put into the same directory as the source file, which would not be
    possible with the GI files since they live in the installed tree.
    
    With current Automake we can turn on forward compatibility with the
    future behaviour using the subdir-objects option.
    
    At configure time we make symlinks to the GI files into the build dir so
    that they can still be compiled using the new Automake behaviour.
