Improve multiarch and ability to cross-compile

Revert "Build-Depends: gobject-introspection --> gobject-introspection-bin"
As shown in its Description, gobject-introspection-bin is an implementation detail and is not intended to be depended on directly.
This reverts commit 16ce503c.

d/control: Add ${gir:Depends}, ${gir:Provides} to -dev package
As suggested by dh_girepository warning messages during the build.
${gir:Depends} ensures that loading GIR XML files in this package will not fail because GIR XML that they depend on is missing.
${gir:Provides} allows other packages to depend on Gsf-1.gir by its systematic name gir1.2-gsf-1-dev.

d/control: Add gir1.2-*-dev Build-Depends as suggested by dh_girepository
These systematic virtual package names correspond exactly to the Gsf_1_gir_INCLUDES in the upstream build system. Explicitly build-depending on these means we no longer need to build-depend on libgirepository1.0-dev, which for historical reasons cannot be multiarch-friendly.

d/rules: Don't build or install HTML docs with nodoc build option
In addition to removing a source of non-reproducibility which can break multi-arch co-installation (#814502), when combined with previous changes this is enough to make it possible to cross-compile libgsf for a foreign architecture, as long as DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS includes nodoc and a version of qemu-user that emulates the host architecture is available.
Mitigates: #814502

d/control, d/rules: Enable GIR dh sequence declaratively
This makes it easier to disable under specific build configurations. In fact we only need this sequence when building architecture-dependent packages, so move it to Build-Depends-Arch.
