gtk/3.x.nix: fix cross-compilation#166219

Currently pkgsCross.aarch64-multiplatform.gtk3 fails for a few
reasons:
* gtk-doc does not deal well with cross compilation, so we disable
the docs when cross-compiling.
* a few of the buildInputs are executed at runtime: gdk-pixbuf,
glib, and (if waylandSupport==true) wayland-scanner, so we move
those to nativeBuildInputs
* introspection data is broken for cross-compilation (see #166199)
so we disable it with -Dintrospection=false.
* gtk3's post-install script, build-aux/meson/post-install.py, was
written without any consideration at all for cross-compilation.
So we need to substituteInPlace it in three places and also pass
it a different PKG_CONFIG_PATH.
With this commit, and #166199 I am able to successfully build
pkgsCross.aarch64-multiplatform.gtk3 on an x86_64 host.
Many of the conditionals are written in slightly-nonstandard form (if
.. then null else ...) to ensure that this commit will not cause a
mass-rebuild of all the non-cross-compiled packages that depend on
gtk3.
