(Migrated from github.com)

I've reorganized the modules:

GLib, GObject, GIO and GModule are bundled in one module org.gnome.glib
Gdk, Graphene, Gsk and Gtk are bundled in one module org.gnome.gtk
Pango and PangoCairo are bundled in org.gnome.pango
Gst, GstBase, GstAudio, GstVideo and GstPbUtils are bundled in module org.freedesktop.gstreamer
WebKit, WebKitWebProcessExtension and JavaScriptCore are bundled in module org.webkitgtk
The test modules GIMarshallingTests, Regress, WarnLib and Utility are bundled in module org.gnome.gobjectintrospectiontests
The remaining modules (Adw, GdkPixbuf, GtkSourceView, HarfBuzz and Soup) are unchanged.

Reasons for this change:

The new setup is more in line with the upstream project structure. For example, GLib, Gio, GObject and GModule are all in the same repository in GNOME GitLab.
Fewer modules mean fewer artifacts to publish on Maven and a simpler dependency tree.
Fewer modules means faster Gradle build/configuration speed for java-gi.

I don't expact that this change breaks existing code much, because most apps will depend on Adw or Gtk, and that still works unchanged.
