This assert causes several type checkers (both mypy and pyright) to
force `obj` to be a base `HoldableObject` instead of the specialized
object. Since the check itself may still be valuable as we don't have
fully type annotation coverage it's simply been removed when type
checking to aid in type specialization.
The problem is what happens in this case:
```meson
add_project_arguments('-DHOST', language : 'c', native : false)
add_project_arguments('-DBUILD', langauge : 'c', native : true)
```
The original meson behavior was that in an host == build configuration
only the `native : false` would be applied. This doesn't really make
sense as in that case the build machine is the host machine, so it is
both the native and non-native machine at once. We changed this so that
the both would be applied in a host == build configuration, but this is
a behavioral change, and needs to be reverted.

Don't just create a .PHONY target which runs a script that magically
generates files ninja doesn't know about. It results in untracked files,
and `meson install` has to run additional commands instead of copying
over files, and then cannot track them to uninstall them later.
I'm not even really sure why it was originally done via a proxy script,
most likely bad legacy design. This is after all one of the oldest
modules...
One side effect of this is that meson doesn't know how to rename
build.CustomTarget files on install (only data files are supported?),
and every file needs to be installed as "domainname.mo" so it must be
named that in-tree too. To prevent clashes, every locale gets its own
locale-specific subdirectory.
Once we are doing that anyway, we can output them to the actual
structure required by the gettext family of functions, and
bindtextdomain() can therefore point to this location if desired. This
might be useful for running localized programs from the build tree.
When sending them to the introspection scanner, we must always filter
all compiler and linker flags, because g-ir-scanner does not accept any
random argument but only a specific subset.

In the case main->subp->subsubp, if subsubp succeed to configure but
subp subsequentially fails, subsubp is still being built but its summary
was missing.
On linux system ldconfig needs to be called to update
the ld.so.cache to be able to load libraries from
/usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu on debian based
distributions for example.
Because of the convertor function we have no guarantee that what we're
getting is in fact a `Dict[str, TYPE_var]`, it might well be anything in
the values, so we need to do some casting and set the return type to
object. This works out fine in practice as our declared `TypeDict`
inputs in the actual function signatures will be used instead.
This boolean parameter is added to check_and_set_roots() and detect_lib_dirs()
when true it will first search the compiler library directories before checking
the standard lib directories. This is set to false when using BOOST_ROOT and
set to true when useing other system directories like /usr/local
Also simplify using a set to remove duplicate lib files
Also remove the part where you search the Cellar in homebrew, this is
unnescessary now that symlinks can be followed it should find boost
when searching /usr/local so no need to search the Cellar
This does two things:
* allows the library files to be symlinks
* searches `lib` and `lib64` in `BOOST_ROOT` even if it finds lib
directories from the compiler
The first condition is needed for the homebrew on macOS because boost and boost
python are provided in seperate packages and are put together in /usr/local/lib
with symlinks to the library files. The both conditions are needed for high
performace computing environments where dependencies are often provided in
nonstandard directories with symlinks
A test case was added which looks for boost libraries in seperate directories
which have been symlinked to BOOST_ROOT/lib
Meson already works like that, except in do_copydir() that requires
absolute destdir. Better explicitly support that instead of leaving it
undefined and unconsistent.
