On a large ostree repository pulling over http slows to a crawl. Pulling
from localhost results in:
5944 metadata, 63734 content objects fetched; 850509 KiB transferred in
1106 seconds
In other words about 800KiB/s. Some profiling shows that essentially
all of the CPU goes into libsoup doing its request bookkeeping instead
of into the actual downloading.
Adding a simple queue to limit to number of active request sent into
libsoup makes for a dramatic improvement:
5944 metadata, 63734 content objects fetched; 850509 KiB transferred
in 89 seconds
So around 9450 KiB/s.

make distcheck was unhappy for various reasons:
* headers aren't data, so use _HEADERS otherwise compilation fails
* Mark the gir & typelib data as cleanfiles so they aren't left around
after make clean
* Don't nuke the .la file. This breaks make uninstall, leave it up to
distributions to not install .la files if they don't want them.
