Those classes are used by wrapper scripts and we should not have to
import the rest of mesonlib, build.py, and all their dependencies for
that.
This renames mesonlib/ directory to utils/ and add a mesonlib.py module
that imports everything from utils/ to not have to change `import
mesonlib` everywhere. It allows to import utils.core without importing
the rest of mesonlib.
Only import the ones we need for the language we are detecting, once we
actually detect that language.
This will allow finally dropping the main imports of these files in a
followup commit.
It turns out we don't generally need to proxy every compiler ever
through the top-level package. The number of times we directly poke at
one is negligible and direct imports are pretty clean.
- fix the research of target built by DUB
- explicitely state that DUB dynamic libraries and source libraries are not supported (yet) (mesonbuild#6581)
- fix the build settings of recipes having sub-dependencies (mesonbuild#7560)
- fix winlibs added from dub recipe
- sanitization, comments, explanations...
Both of these are artifacts of the time before Dependency Factories,
when a dependency that could be discovered multiple ways did ugly stuff
like finding a specific dependency, then replacing it's own attributes
with that dependency's attributes. We don't have cases of that left in
the tree, so let's get rid of this code too
This allow mypy to catch cases where we accidently assign the dependency
name to the type_name, as it sees them as having different types (though
at runtime they're all strings).
