[Bug 1876693] [NEW] [SRU] New stable release 1.64.1

[Iain Lane]

Public bug reported:

[ Description ]

GNOME upstream have released a new stable version of gobject-
introspection.

Changes:

1.64.1 - 2020-04-05
-------------------

* Replace calls to deprecated xml.etree.cElementTree removed in Python 3.9 :mr:`202` (:user:`Stephen Gallagher <sgallagher>`)
* gimarshallingtests: Use g_assert_cmpfloat_with_epsilon. Fixes tests on some architectures :mr:`200` (:user:`Iain Lane <iainl>`)

[ QA ]

GNOME has a micro release exception that covers this package.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates/GNOME

So we don't need to verify the fixes explicitly.

Do this:

  - Install the update, smoke test some of the reverse depends (apt rdepends libgirepository-1.0-1 and more importantly the indirect rdepends via python3-gi)
  - Run "reverse-depends -b src:gobject-introspection" and test rebuild a few of them

[ Regression potential ]

g-i being broken will break pretty much the whole desktop, but you'd
know that quite fast.

The .py changes, if they're wrong or bad, could break the build of r
-build-deps.
