When importing the prelude of a crate like `gst` the `glib` prelude is
provided too. Shedding these imports saves quite a few lines and
adheres to keeping it simple; we're not reexporting base/parent preludes
for no reason :)
This was temporarily allowed by Value trait refactoring, but the root
cause of the unused imports has been found (`glib::ToValue` for property
getters) and fixed in https://github.com/gtk-rs/gir/pull/1117.
In gir it was brought up [1] that some traits (in particular
`*ExtManual`) are exported from the crate root in addition to the
prelude, cluttering the environment unnecessarily. This commit removes
all these reexports, leaving those in prelude (that were already there)
only.
After this commit everything matching `Ext(Manual)?\b` in `lib.rs` sits
within `pub mod prelude {};`.

The `lgpl-docs` and documentation embedding step is now solely invoked
from `./gir/generator.py` in the CI, and does not need the embed/purge
build features anymore.
The `lgpl-docs` crate and all precompiled (easy to get outdated!)
docmentation files are removed in favour of being generated at runtime
by the improved generator, both during local development as well as in
the CI.
The previous commit reinstantiated `girs_dir`, and this commit applies
the rename to `girs_directories` and adds the new/missing
`gst-gir-files` directory where GStreamer-specific `.gir` files live.
This reverts commit 7f9fcb09e2.
`generator.py` is in the process of being moved to a generic place in
the `gir` repository for reuse across crates. This means `-d` cannot be
passed for our GStreamer-specific `gst-gir-files` directory anymore, and
should be configured from `Gir.toml` instead.
We can't return a plain reference to something stored inside the future
as that would go out of scope after `await`. Instead return a struct
that wraps the `gst::Promise`, derefs to a structure and keeps the
promise alive as long as needed.
See https://github.com/gtk-rs/gtk-rs/pull/449. This struct remains
vital in GStreamer code to tie a type to an (untyped) SendValue, so that
the underlying value can be retrieved without having to guess its type.
That type is anyway stored in a private member T::TagType.

Gir now prints all directories and their hashes in the version file and
comments; useful now that gstreamer-rs is being generated from both
gir-files/ and gst-gir-files/ submodules.
We were already using `gir -d` and especially now that our files are
separated across two directories that are relative to the directory
containing Gir.toml this only becomes cumbersome. Besides `gir` lacks
functionality to normalize the path, leading to ie.
gstreamer-gl/egl/sys/../../../gir-files in the version comment as a
result.
This scales better as there will only be only such data instead of two
or more when having deeper class hierarchies with multiple Rust
elements, and also makes it unnecessary to use a special instance struct
so the default works well.
While this allows to remove the pad probe multiple times, which would
cause a g_warning(), this is not actually making the situation worse
than before while making some code patterns easier to implement:
- Probes could already be removed twice by return
gst::PadProbeReturn::Remove and then calling pad.remove_probe()
- Probes could be removed from a different pad than where they were
added
As such let's go with the simple solution here for now and allow giving
owned access to the probe id from the probe callback.
