ninjabackend: Treat GNOME gir/typelib as libraries

When classifying generated sources, we were treating gir/typelib files
generated by gobject-introspection as headers. This is bad because it
serializes the build by adding order-only dependencies to every target
even though sources will never actually use them for anything.

Treat them as libraries, which is somewhat more accurate.
