girepository: Merge overrides with the regular search path

This reverts commit e81c4681cc88a00fcd841c5a68d860d3714b55d7

The GI_TYPELIB_PATH envvar will still allow overriding the default
typelib dir (based on gobject-introspection libdir), but applications
will have the last say about typelib lookup directories. The resulting
lookup order is now:

- Paths added through g_irepository_prepend_search_path()
- Paths in GI_TYPELIB_PATH
- The default gobject introspection lookup dir

This makes g_irespository_prepend_search_path() work as announced
despite environment variables. If any application was relying on
GI_TYPELIB_PATH overriding the paths of this function call (for e.g.
make check, or to be able to run code inside the project tree), it
is encouraged to set up a similar envvar for their application specific
lookup dir, or perform this override through other means.
