docs: Move the introduction of the tutorial in the reference

The tutorial should just go away, but some of its contents can be moved
to the API reference as chapters.

<chapter id="gtk-getting-started" xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2003/XInclude">
<title>Getting Started with GTK+</title>
<para>To begin our introduction to GTK, we'll start with the simplest
program possible. This program will create a 200x200 pixel window:</para>
<para>
<inlinegraphic fileref="window-default.png" format="PNG"></inlinegraphic>
</para>

<xi:include href="../../../../examples/window-default.c" parse="text">
<xi:fallback>FIXME: MISSING XINCLUDE CONTENT</xi:fallback>
</xi:include>
</programlisting></informalexample>
<para>You can compile the program above with GCC using:</para>
<para><literallayout>
<literal>gcc `pkg-config --cflags gtk+-3.0` -o window-default window-default.c `pkg-config --libs gtk+-3.0`</literal>
</literallayout></para>
<note><para>For more information on how to compile a GTK+ application, please
refer to the <link linkend="gtk-compiling">Compiling GTK+ Applications</link>
section in this reference.</para></note>
<para>All GTK+ applications will, of course, include
<filename>gtk/gtk.h</filename>, which declares functions, types and
macros required by GTK+ applications.</para>
<warning><para>Even if GTK+ installs multiple header files, only the
top-level <filename>gtk/gtk.h</filename> header can be directly included
by third party code. The compiler will abort with an error if any other
header will be included.</para></warning>
<para>We then proceed into the <function>main</function>() function of the
application, and we declare a <varname>window</varname> variable as a pointer
of type #GtkWidget.</para>
<para>The following line will call gtk_init(), which
is the initialization function for GTK+; this function will set up GTK+,
the type system, the connection to the windowing environment, etc. The
gtk_init() takes as arguments the pointers to the command line arguments
counter and string array; this allows GTK+ to parse specific command line
arguments that control the behavior of GTK+ itself. The parsed arguments
will be removed from the array, leaving the unrecognized ones for your
application to parse.</para>
<note><para>For more information on which command line arguments GTK+
recognizes, please refer to the <link linkend="gtk-running">Running GTK+
Applications</link> section in this reference.</para></note>
<para>The call to gtk_window_new() will create a new #GtkWindow and store
it inside the <varname>window</varname> variable. The type of the window
is %GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL, which means that the #GtkWindow will be managed
by the windowing system: it will have a frame, a title bar and window
controls, depending on the platform.</para>
<para>In order to terminate the application when the #GtkWindow is
destroyed, we connect the #GtkWidget::destroy signal to the gtk_main_quit()
function. This function will terminate the GTK+ main loop started by calling
gtk_main() later. The #GtkWidget::destroy signal is emitted when a widget is
destroyed, either by explicitly calling gtk_widget_destroy() or when the
widget is unparented. Top-level #GtkWindow<!-- -->s are also destroyed when
the Close window control button is clicked.</para>
<para>#GtkWidget<!-- -->s are hidden by default. By calling gtk_widget_show()
on a #GtkWidget we are asking GTK+ to set the visibility attribute so that it
can be displayed. All this work is done after the main loop has been
started.</para>
<para>The last line of interest is the call to gtk_main(). This function will
start the GTK+ main loop and will block the control flow of the
<function>main</function>() until the gtk_main_quit() function is
called.</para>
<para>The following example is slightly more complex, and tries to
showcase some of the capabilities of GTK+.</para>
<para>In the long tradition of programming languages and libraries,
it is called <emphasis>Hello, World</emphasis>.</para>
<example id="gtk-getting-started-hello-world">
<title>Hello World in GTK+</title>
