As announced in [MBF] and [#1117130] the GNOME team would like to remove
libgirepository1.0-dev during the forky cycle. According to dak, this
source package contains a Depends or Build-Depends on
libgirepository1.0-dev which blocks its removal.

The README.Debian for libgirepository1.0-dev [README] provides advice on
how to choose an appropriate replacement for libgirepository1.0-dev, and
will be updated if new information becomes available.

phosh probably needs girepository-1.0 (>= 1.80), for the call to
gnome.generate_gir() in its build system.

d/control: Replace libgirepository1.0-dev build-dependency

We need gobject-introspection for the command-line tools, and
gir1.2-*-dev for each GIR XML module whose name/version is passed to
the includes parameter of gnome.generate_gir. In practice the GIR XML
is currently provided by the various lib*-dev packages, but that won't
necessarily always be true if they were built with the nogir
build-profile, so explicit is better than implicit.

Closes: #1118904
