docs: manifest typelib format portability
Apart the endianness of its scalar values the typelib binary format
must be considered arch-independent: make it clear in the docs.

*
* The "typelib" is a binary, readonly, memory-mappable database
* containing reflective information about a GObject library.
+ * What the typelib describes and the types used are the same for every
+ * platform so, apart the endianness of its scalar values, the typelib
+ * database must be considered architecture-independent.
*
* The format of GObject typelib is strongly influenced by the Mozilla XPCOM
* format.
