giscanner: fix --no-libtool on macOS

Tom Schoonjans requested to merge tschoonj/gobject-introspection:macos-no-libtool-fix into master

Currently g-ir-scanner fails on macOS when invoked in --no-libtool mode if the library it links to has not been installed into its destination (which is likely to be the case). In libtool mode this issue does not occur as DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH will get set by libtool in an appropriate manner. This patch ensures DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH will get set.

This patch is also essential for meson and cmake to generate gobject-introspection bindings.
