This mistake seems to be a very common hiccup for people trying to use
Meson with MSYS2 on Windows from git or with pip.
msys/python uses POSIX paths with '/' as the root instead of a drive
like `C:/`, and also does not identify the platform as Windows.
This means that configure checks will be wrong, and many build tools
will be unable to parse the paths that are returned by functions in
Python such as shutil.which.

Instead of using fragile guessing to figure out how to invoke meson,
set the value when meson is run. Also rework how we pass of
meson_script_launcher to regenchecker.py -- it wasn't even being used
With this change, we only need to guess the meson path when running
the tests, and in that case:
1. If MESON_EXE is set in the env, we know how to run meson
for project tests.
2. MESON_EXE is not set, which means we run the configure in-process
for project tests and need to guess what meson to run, so either
- meson.py is found next to run_tests.py, or
- meson, meson.py, or meson.exe is in PATH
Otherwise, you can invoke meson in the following ways:
1. meson is installed, and mesonbuild is available in PYTHONPATH:
- meson, meson.py, meson.exe from PATH
- python3 -m mesonbuild.mesonmain
- python3 /path/to/meson.py
- meson is a shell wrapper to meson.real
2. meson is not installed, and is run from git:
- Absolute path to meson.py
- Relative path to meson.py
- Symlink to meson.py
All these are tested in test_meson_commands.py, except meson.exe since
that involves building the meson msi and installing it.
In gcovr 3.1 the -r/--rootdir argument changed meaning causing
reports generated with gcovr 3.1 to not find the source files
and look for *.gcda in the whole source tree rather than the
build dir.
So, detect gcovr version and if 3.1 give build_root to -r instead
of source_root.
Fix exception handling of missing rustc, by making it look like the other
compiler detectors

According to Python documentation[1] dirname and basename
are defined as follows:
os.path.dirname() = os.path.split()[0]
os.path.basename() = os.path.split()[1]
For the purpose of better readability split() is replaced
by appropriate function if only one part of returned tuple
is used.

They now are published by the D Language Foundation, and not Digital
Mars. Therefore, their signature has changed slightly.
(We can not check for 'DMD', because that string appears in every
compiler version output to denote the frontend version used by the
compiler).
See issue #2762
Adds full_version to class Compiler. If set full_version will be printed
additionally.
Added support for CCompiler and CPPCompiler
Added support for gcc/g++, clang/clang++, icc.
We can now specify the library type we want to search for, and whether
we want to prefer static libraries over shared ones or the other way
around. This functionality is not exposed to build files yet.
Unfortunately, `time.time` and file timestamps are not guaranteed to be
in sync and due to various kernel caches may be different enough to
cause rebuilds to fail [1]. This was masked by older ninja versions that
could not read sub-second timestamps.

PkgConfig automatically removes -L paths from libdirs if the -L points
to a system path. It knows what these paths are by taking this as a
configure option at build time, which the distro maintainers set
appropriately and everything works. This allows one to have two
versions of a package installed, a system and non system, and then
override PKG_CONFIG_PATH to use the non system version, and everything
just works. For non-pkgconfig dependencies (such as LLVM) meson needs to
strip these themselves to avoid breaking the above use case.
As stderr may contain information the user can use to solve the problem with
the gcc installation, it should not be ignore but added to the error message.
The valac binary was hard coded in meson. We now check if VALAC is
defined in the environment, and if it is, use its value as the vala
compiler, if not, we proceed with the hard coded binary name.
