glib-2.0: add string.get_prev_char()

This is the opposite of string.get_next_char().

There is a difference though, to be more convenient in a loop:

get_next_char() returns the current chararcter, and the next index.
get_prev_char() returns the previous character, and the previous index.

Fixes bug 655185.
