gobject-introspection 1.29.17

[Colin Walters <walters verbum org>]

This release shows the results of the Openismus sponsored hackfest - a
lot of work is happening on "g-ir-doctool".  It's not quite ready for
consumption yet though.

I'd like to thank Torsten Schönfeld in particular for doing some hard
work - for example he added "static methods" to interfaces, so e.g.
g_file_new_for_path() now shows up as "Gio.File.new_for_path()" in
JavaScript which is much nicer!
