This was a good idea in theory, but in practice it has made Codecov
completely useless because doc-only commits would reduce the coverage
calculated by Codecov and PRs would randomly have messages saying that
the coverage has gone up or down by a random percentage simply because
the windows builds weren't run in the last commit.
Till Codecov also has an option to skip doc-only commits, we cannot
make this change. To skip all CI, you can put "[skip ci]" or
"[ci skip]" in the commit message. This will also work with Codecov.
QuLogic discovered that HFS+ only stores dates in uint32 seconds since
the epoch, so ninja cannot report sub-1s resolution timestamps there.
Sometime in the future Apple FS will become widely-available and we
will have to add a filesystem check at startup.

This way we get some testing for the patches, and speed up our builds.
My server is hosted on a UK Linode, so it should have good uptimes.
However, we should likely move this into the Docker image at least
for Linux, and perhaps put it in a CI cache for the rest.
MESONINTROSPECT is set when running postconf scripts, which implies that
introspection is possible. But it isn't really possible because coredata
hasn't been written yet. We also still need to make sure to delete
coredata if any postconf scripts fail.
I got this warning on a build:
> WARNING: Passed invalid keyword argument preset. This will become a hard error in the future.
I had to grep in meson code to understand that "preset" was the name of
the invalid argument. This is not obvious at all depending on the
argument name (here it looked like it was about argument presets).
Let's make it clearer by putting it in quotes.
If making a typo, it used to output:
> Cross info file must have either host or a target machine.
This was not useful at all and looked like there could be a file format
error or some other issue with the content. Let's have an appropriate
error:
> File not found: /some/path
Commit 325a231a added stricter keyword argument checking, but didn't enable
keyword arguments for add_projects_link_arguments() and
add_global_link_arguments(). This makes them fail with this error:
Meson encountered an error in file meson.build, line 19, column 0:
Function does not take keyword arguments.
However, the language argument is required. Removing it produces this error
instead:
Meson encountered an error in file meson.build, line 19, column 0:
Missing language definition in add_project_link_arguments
Fix this by adding 'language' as a required keyword argument. Also add calls to
these in the "146 C and CPP link" test case.
