This makes two basic changes, 1 it moves the name of the linker into the
linker class, this should reduce the number of errors and typos, and
ensure that a linker always has one name. This then renames the linkers
to have more consistent names.
Posix/gnu linkers are called ld.<name>: ld.gold, ld.lld, ld.solaris.
Apple linkers are renamed ld64.
These are pretty much all over the place because I never intended them
to be exposed to the meson source language, they were meant just for
documentation.
This allows users to disable writing out the inbuilt variables to
the pkg-config file as they might actualy not be required.
One reason to have this is for architecture-independent pkg-config
files in projects which also have architecture-dependent outputs.
For example : https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/weston/issues/269Fixes#4011
This is a significant speed-up on Windows because terminals are
slow to print things out.
Speed-up in gst-build on Windows:
```
meson install:
before: 5.1 seconds
after: 4.0 seconds
```
In `--only-changed` mode, we were spending half our time inside
`makedirs()`, which is a waste in the case when only a few files have
changed.
Speed-up on Windows with gst-build:
```
meson install --only-changed
before: 1.6 seconds
after: 0.9 seconds
```
This gives a significant speedup in large projects such as gst-build
since now we only search for the tool once. Speed-up on Windows:
```
meson install:
before: 15.3 seconds
after: 5.4 seconds
meson install --only-changed:
before: 11.6 seconds
after: 2.7 seconds
```
If we preserve the existing file, we did not install anything. In that
case, the output now looks like:
```
ninja: Entering directory `.'
ninja: no work to do.
Nothing to install.
Preserved 1732 unchanged files, see meson-logs\install-log.txt for the full list
```
This also avoids an `isfile` lookup, which shaves off a few seconds in
gst-build install.
This leads to better version parsing. An concrete example use case is
llc. When invoking llc with "--version", the output is
```
LLVM (http://llvm.org/):
LLVM version 9.0.1
...
```
The old version parsing recognizes the dot in the first line as version.
This commit also tries to adapt the two regexes to each other.

Otherwise there's a high likelihood that some program run by us will
mess up the console settings and break ANSI colors. F.ex., running
`uname` in the Visual Studio 2019 x86 developer prompt using
`run_command()` does this.
Looking at 45c8557d, the idea behind this seems to be that a test could
conditionally indicate that the list of installed files should not be
validated by creating that file.
It's no longer used anywhere.
Also remove a lingering no-install-files file which isn't used since commit
c693bd9b.
Just add or alter attributes of the TestResult object, rather than many,
many invocations of the constructor with very similar arguments.
Define helper methods for TestResult to add the results of a step and
set the failure reason.
