We silently dropped all integer values to install_mode since the
original implementation of doing this in KwargInfo, in commit
596c8d4af5.
This happened because install_mode is supposed to convert False
(exactly) to None, and otherwise pass all arguments in place. But a
generator is homogeneous and attempting to do this correctly produced a
mypy error that FileMode arguments were allowed to be ints -- well of
course they are -- so that resulted in the convertor... treating ints
like False instead, to make mypy happy.
Fixes#11538
custom_target allows selective installation if it outputs more than one
file. Mention this explicitly in install.
Additionally, fix the types for install_dir.
see: https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/505
It isn't possible to have one target depend on a run_target, because
those produce no outputs and are always out of date. But the docs didn't
specify which types of target are valid here.
Correct the docs to align with the implementation.
Fixes#10198
