Returns an opaque serial number that represents the state of the set
of registered types. Any time a type is registered this serial changes,
which means you can cache information based on type lookups (such as
g_type_from_name()) and know if the cache is still valid at a later
time by comparing the current serial with the one at the type lookup.
