This is the second most straight forward stupid way of handling
this (with usiing os.path.exists) as the most stupid obvious way. The
only major advantage is that having .git as something other than a
file or directory still doesn't register.
Fixes: #3378
meson.add_dist_script, introduced in #3906, did not accept any arguments
other than script name. Since all other meson.add_*_script methods
do accept args, this makes the dist script accept them as well.
Having a period at the end of sentences in messages is confusing when
a file or path is being outputted, and is inconsistent when not.
This is part of an ongoing effort to fix this inconsistency across the
message outputs everywhere in Meson.
