Generate GdkPixdata introspection

Emmanuele Bassi requested to merge issue-72 into master

The GdkPixdata API is built as part of the GdkPixbuf shared library, but:

  • it has its own namespace
  • it has its own header file
  • it's mostly meant for C applications
  • it is deprecated

Consumers of the introspection data cannot access this API by using the GdkPixbuf-2.0 GIR, as the namespace and included headers are different.

Instead of kludging the API, let's move the GdkPixdata introspection out of the GdkPixbuf-2.0 GIR and into its own module.

This is an introspection ABI break, but there aren't many consumers of GdkPixdata out there, and it's preferable to straight including the gdk-pixdata.h header into gdk-pixbuf.h.

Fixes #72 (closed)
