librsvg sources tarball should ship introspection.m4

librsvg uses introspection macros. But since it does not include introspection.m4 file in the git tree or tarballs, anyone who wants to run autoreconf (or autogen.sh) has to have to have gobject-introspection installed; otherwise, autoconf fails.
Yes, you do have to have introspection macros installed. But that's not a bug.
