modules/gnome.py: Use a filelist for generate_gir()

On Windows, one will face the issue of the 8192-character limit for each
command line, so this will cause an issue when one is building items
like GTK+ with introspection, because the g-ir-scanner command line will
likely get too long, which will clearly break the build.  This will
affect all Windows builds.

Make use of the --filelist option that is already in g-ir-scanner, and
generate such a file list from the sources that are fed to
generate_gir(), named as
$(builddir)/$(target_id)/<NameSpace>_<NameSpaceVersion>_gir_filelist
and using it during the build.
