modules/gnome: fix type annotations and issues with _gather_typelib_includes_and_update_depends

There is the problem of the annotations themselves, then there is
the problem with depends being mutated. The mutation side effect is a
problem in itself, but there's also the problem that we really want to
use Sequence, which isn't mutable.
