The previous commit bd2fcb268b
accidentally used the wrong var so the param name was missing,
leading to an error of "unrecognized arguments" for the
datadirs parameter value.
We ended up passing a NoneType as the program binary, which is a very
awkward way to communicate an error when failing to write a basic
package version file.
There were two allowed kwargs that were unused, I've dropped them for
now, though I need to check if they were documented. If they are then we
need to deprecate them to remove them, otherwise we'll just leave them
removed.
This does not convert the build side, or remove any of the checking it
does. We still need that for other callers of custom target. What we'll
do for those is add an internal interface that defaults things, then
we'll be able to have those callers do their own validation, and the
CustomTarget validation machinary can be removed.
Fixes#9096
This will happen as we transition from doing the conversion in the
function body to using the KwargInfo to make that change. If we get one
just return it.
In the comparison methods of Target. There are several problems with the
old implementation:
1. It's not idiomatic
2. It can match on things that It shouldn't (like a Compiler, which has
a `get_id() -> str` method, but not one that we should compare with
Targets
3. It confuses mypy, which doesn't handle hasattr
It would probably be better if CommandBase had an initializer so it
could set the depend_files and dependencies attributes itself, but this
will make mypy happier.
I've used any because it needs to be infinitely recursive, something
that we simply can't model. But basically until it goes into validator
we have no way of knowing what's going on, since one can write code
like:
```python
KwargInfo[str]('arg', object, validator=_some_very_complex_logic_to_get_specific_string)
```
As such, we can't assume that validator is receiving a type _T, it could
be anything.
This reverts commit 5fcb0e6525.
The commit is a massive change that should have been split in
separate pieces, and it also removes a few features:
* in verbose mode, subtests are not printed as they happen
* in non-verbose mode the progress report does not include the
number of subtests that have been run
* in non-parallel mode, output is batched rather than printed as
it happens
Furthermore, none of these changes are not documented in the release
notes. Revert so that each proposal can be tested, evaluated and
documented individually.
Hardcoding the name is fragile, and enabling it based on the existence of
/etc/debian_version (as the is_debianlike helper does) will result in
incorrect paths if the Python binary is not provided by Debian.
Using the deb_system distuils scheme instead makes sure we use the
install path from the current interpreter, which Debian could change
between releases, and gives us the correct value on Python installations
that are not provided by Debian (eg. deadsnakes, Github Action Python,
etc.)
Do notice, though, that there is still no guarantee that these are the
correct paths, as they assume all schemes paths have the install prefix
as a base, see #9284.

Another commit in my quest to rid InterpreterBase from all higher
level object processing logic.
Additionally, there is a a logic change here, since `str.join` now
uses varargs and can now accept more than one argument (and supports
list flattening).
