    gitypeinfo: Add GI_TYPE_TAG_IS_NUMERIC macro
    
    This is a convenience for bindings that want to perform a similar action
    for all numeric types. It allows more expressive code in some cases:
    
    if (GI_TYPE_TAG_IS_NUMERIC(tag)) {
      do_one_thing();
      return;
    }
    
    switch (tag) {
      case GI_TYPE_TAG_ARRAY:
        do_other_thing();
        return;
      /* ... */
      default:
        g_assert_not_reached();
    }
    
    instead of listing out all of the numeric types in the switch statement.
