[gobject-introspection/wip/smcv/search-paths: 2/6] Add GI_GIR_PATH environment variable

[Simon McVittie <smcv src gnome org>]

commit ee39338b00d8ad812ebb6ebda7da4b684124e87a
Author: Simon McVittie <smcv debian org>
Date:   Wed Feb 10 11:45:26 2021 +0000

    Add GI_GIR_PATH environment variable
    
    This is searched after any command-line includes paths, but before the
    XDG_DATA_DIRS or any built-in paths. For example, if
    libraries are installed in /opt/gnome and GObject-Introspection was
    configured with -Dgir_dir_prefix=lib64, you could set either
    GI_GIR_PATH=/opt/gnome/lib64/gir-1.0 or
    XDG_DATA_DIRS=/opt/gnome/lib64:/opt/gnome/share:${XDG_DATA_DIRS}.
    
    Use this to communicate the ../gir directory to giscanner instead
    of modifying Python's builtins.
