Otherwise we will try to use the objc compiler when linking projects
with both objc and C++.
Technically we should use the objc++ linker when doing this, but on
most (all?) systems the objc++ linker is `c++`, which is the same
as the C++ linker.

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.
Auto detection was based on parsing gcc's output so we have to
ensure that it is always 'C'.

In version 3.6.0, clang added -Wignored-optimization-argument. Without
setting this flag to -Werror, "ignored optimization arguments" such as
(for example) -fpeel-loops, are accepted but warned about, leading to
noisy builds if meson thinks the flag is supported.

In addition to filtering libs out while generating the command-line, we
must also filter them out in find_library() otherwise these libs will be
detected as "found" on Windows with MSVC.

This commit amends 04a2e6de making
linker.get_std_shared_lib_link_args() always return -shared for
SharedLibrary(es) instead of -bundle. SharedModule(s) get linked with
linker.get_std_shared_module_link_args() which already correctly returns
-bundle.
Before this change -bundle and -install_name ended up being emitted
for Objective-C shared libraries, which caused a linking error.
While adding link args for external deps, sometimes different
libraries come from different prefixes, and an older version of the
same library might be present in other prefixes and we don't want to
accidentally pick that up.
For example:
/usr/local/lib/libglib-2.0.so
/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/glib-2.0.pc
/usr/local/lib/libz.so
/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/zlib.pc
/home/mesonuser/.local/lib/libglib-2.0.so
/home/mesonuser/.local/lib/pkgconfig/glib-2.0.pc
PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/home/mesonuser/.local/lib/pkgconfig/:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/"
If a target uses `dependencies : [glib_dep, zlib_dep]`, it will end up
using /usr/local/lib/libglib-2.0.so instead of
/home/mesonuser/.local/lib/libglib-2.0.so despite using the pkg-config
file in /home/mesonuser/.local/lib/pkgconfig because we reorder the -L
flag and separate it from the -l flag.
With this change, external link arguments will be added to the
compiler list without de-dup or reordering.

- Adds a `crate_type` kwarg to library targets, allowing the different
types of Rust [linkage][1].
- Shared libraries use the `dylib` crate type by default, but can also
be `cdylib`
- Static libraries use the `rlib` crate type by default, but can also
be `staticlib`
- If any Rust target has shared library dependencies, add the
appropriate linker arguments, including rpath for the sysroot of the
Rust compiler

When the CCompiler.links method call in CCompiler.find_library fails,
find_library resorts to finding the library file itself. In this second
case, the return value is not a list, whereas if links suceeds, the
return value is a list. Make it so that find_library returns a list
in either case.
Now we aggressively de-dup the list of libraries used while linking,
and when linking with GNU ld we have to enclose all static libraries
with -Wl,--start-group and -Wl,--end-group to force the linker to
resolve all symbols recursively. This is needed when static libraries
have circular deps on each other (see included test).
The --start/end-group change is also needed for circular dependencies
between static libraries because we no longer recursively list out all
library dependencies.
The size of build.ninja for GStreamer is now down to 6.1M from 20M,
and yields a net reduction in configuration time of 10%
