shared: move redefining G_VARIANT_TYPE() to "nm-glib-aux/nm-default-glib.h"

We redefine G_VARIANT_TYPE() because we don't want to pay a run time
check for what should be a simple cast.

But this is strictly tied to glib, and it must only be done after glib.h
was included. Move it to the right place.

* g_variant_builder_init (&props, G_VARIANT_TYPE ("a{sv}"));

* Also, a function like g_variant_builder_init() already validates
* the input type via something like
*
* g_return_if_fail (g_variant_type_is_container (type));
*
* So, by having G_VARIANT_TYPE() also validate the type, we validate
* twice, whereas the first validation is rather pointless because it
* doesn't prevent the function to be called with invalid arguments.
*
* Just patch G_VARIANT_TYPE() to perform no check.
