           Summary: Make the pkgconfig dependency on glib/gobject public
                    (Requires instead of Requires.private)

The public headers of telepathy-glib include GObject headers and define inline
primitives such as type casts that invoke functions from GObject. This
technically makes the build-time dependency on GLib/GObject a public one,
however for linkage these libraries may in some cases be non-essential. The
commit offered for review corrects the pkg-config declarations.

NB: Generally speaking, pkg-config does not address this case precisely, and
usage of Requires.private may be more beneficial to avoid useless linkage at
runtime. But in case of telepathy-glib, it is reasonable to expect that most
clients will use Telepathy type casts or invoke GLib/GObject directly as well.
