build: Check the version of GTK-Docgtkdoc-subproject

We lost widget style properties and container child properties in this
new major API version; sadly, GTK-Doc still tries to inspect widgets and
containers for them. Newer version of GTK-Doc know how to do a version
check against GTK, but older versions can't know that.

We can't specify a minimum version of GTK-Doc to use with Meson, so we
need to check the version manually.
