gnome: add mkenums_simple()

99% of all mkenums uses in C libraries use the same basic template,
so add a mkenums_simple() function that takes care of everything for
us based on that template.

Features:
 - optional function declaration decorator such as GLIB_AVAILABLE
 - optional extra header prefix (e.g. for include needed for decorator)
 - optional extra body prefix (e.g. for additional includes)
 - optional function name prefix (e.g. to add leading underscores)

Fixes issue #1384

+## GNOME module mkenums_simple() addition
+
+Most libraries and applications use the same standard templates for
+glib-mkenums. There is now a new `mkenums_simple()` convenience method
+that passes those default templates to glib-mkenums and allows some tweaks
+such as optional function decorators or leading underscores.
