Add a method to downgrade an option to disabled if it is not used.
This is useful to avoid unnecessary search for dependencies;
for example
dep = dependency('dep', required: get_option('feature').disable_auto_if(not foo))
can be used instead of the more verbose and complex
if get_option('feature').auto() and not foo then
dep = dependency('', required: false)
else
dep = dependency('dep', required: get_option('feature'))
endif
or to avoid unnecessary dependency searches:
dep1 = dependency('dep1', required: get_option('foo'))
# dep2 is only used together with dep1
dep2 = dependency('dep2', required: get_option('foo').disable_auto_if(not dep1.found()))
```

Add a method to perform a logical AND on a feature object. The method
also takes care of raising an error if 'enabled' is ANDed with false.

This method simplifies the conversion of Feature objects to booleans.
Often, one has to use the "not" operator in order to treat "auto"
and "enabled" the same way.
"allowed()" also works well in conjunction with the require method that
is introduced in the next patch. For example,
if get_option('foo').require(host_machine.system() == 'windows').allowed() then
src += ['foo.c']
config.set10('HAVE_FOO', 1)
endif
can be used instead of
if host_machine.system() != 'windows'
if get_option('foo').enabled()
error('...')
endif
endif
if not get_option('foo').disabled() then
src += ['foo.c']
config.set10('HAVE_FOO', 1)
endif

This partially reverts commit add502c648.
In 'linkshared' test, annotate cppfunc() as imported, so an indirection
through an import stub is generated, avoiding a relocation size error
when building using gcc for Cygwin with LTO on.
Align with the example of how to write this portably in [1].
The 'c' language part of that test already gets this right.

We need to escape space in variables that gets into cflags or libs
because otherwise we cannot split compiler args when paths contains
spaces. But custom variables are unlikely to be path that gets used in
cflags/libs, and escaping them cause regression in GStreamer that use
space as separator in a list variable.
With this change File objects created with the builtin files() function
can be used with the fs submodule like normal strings.
All methods that seem reasonable support FileOrSting arguments.
For example fs.exists() still only takes str arguments because meson
already ensures that File objects do exist when creating them with files().
Each user facing function of the fs module has an additional FeatureNew
check when used with File objects.
The test cases for fs are extended appropriately with tests for File objects.
This is just forcing the usage of -include as c_args, even though this
particular case can happen easily when this is provided via a dependency
cflags.
We also ensure that both the headers are included by using locale
definitions.
Some variables are reserved because meson set them automatically. But we
are not setting them for dataonly pc files, so there is no reason to
reserve them.
