mdb-provider: Fix build against new mdbtools-0.9.z releases

See merge request !178

mdbtools >= 0.9.0 require a MdbHandle to be passed to the
mdb_set_date_fmt() call. Move the call to directly after mdb_open()
(when we first get the handle) and pass the handle to it.

Note this change means that the mdb-provider will now no longer
compile with older mdbtools versions. To enforce this the
pkg-config check now checks for mdbtools >= 0.9 and the fallback
to manual checking in /*/lib is removed, except for the case where
the user has specified a path to check on the cmdline.

With mdbtools >= 0.9.0, the MdbFile struct no longer has a filename member,
instead store the filename passed to mdb_open() in our private data.

Note this also fixes the dynamically allocated string returned by
g_build_filename() being leaked.

According to the mdbtools NEWS file for the 0.9.0 these functions have
always been no-ops:

"The previously-deprecated functions mdb_init() and mdb_exit() have been
removed. These functions did nothing; any calls to them should be excised with
prejudice."

And now they have been removed completely, since these were already
no-ops in older mdbtools versions we can safely drop them without
loosing compatibility with older mdbtools releases.

MySQL: my_bool is here again.

* Fix Vala bindings generation
* Fix Glade catalog and pixmaps installation for make distcheck

Improves API from Vala by adding bindings for
variadic methods

Introspection doesn't support vararg methods, so
adding custom code are required to add them
to VAPI

Batch parsing, should remove spacesa and enters before
return next statement.
