[gobject-introspection] repository: g_irepository_get_object_gtype_interfaces

[Christoph Reiter <creiter src gnome org>]

commit 9826d952358c8330d72ecba062f489fbdc31bbd1
Author: Colin Walters <walters verbum org>

    repository: g_irepository_get_object_gtype_interfaces
    
    Bindings in some cases need to look up information from a GType
    dynamically.  Support that better by supplying a cache for this
    information.
    
    (Rebased and versioning / gtk-doc stuff added by Philip Chimento.)
    
    Closes #38.
    See gjs#55.
