It is extremely common to need to know within a given dependency if
a given header, symbol, member, function, etc exists that cannot be
determined from the version number alone.
Without passing dependency objects to the various compiler/linker
checks and with many libraries headers/libraries being located in
their own subdirs of the standard prefix, the check for the library
would not find the header/function/symbol/etc.
This commit allows passing dependency objects to the compiler checks so
that the test program can be compiled/linked/run with the necessary
compilation and/or linking flags for that library.
Also add new tests for the platform-specific and compiler-specific
versioning scheme.
A rough summary is:
1. A bug in how run_tests.py:validate_install checked for files has been
fixed. Earlier it wasn't checking the install directory properly.
2. Shared libraries are no longer installed in common tests, and the
library name/path testing is now done in platform-specific tests.
3. Executables are now always called something?exe in the
installed_files.txt file, and the suffix automatically corrected
depending on the platform.
4. If a test installs a file called 'no-installed-files', the installed
files for that test are not validated. This is required to implement
compiler-specific tests for library names/paths such as MSVC vs MinGW
5. The platform-specific file renaming in run_tests.py has been mostly
removed since it is broken for shared libraries and isn't needed for
static libraries.
6. run_tests.py now reports all missing and extra files. The logic for
finding these has been reworked.
