When the exe runner is `wine` or `wine32` or `wine64`, etc.
This allows people to run tests with wine.
Note that you also have to set WINEPATH to point to your custom
prefix(es) if your tests use external dependencies.

The output may be a binary data stream, not subject to any locale
encoding. This avoids any encoding errors that might arise as a result.
Also fixes github issue #2868.
Instead of adding it everywhere manually, create a wrapper called
mesonlib.Popen_safe and use that everywhere that we call an executable
and extract its output.
This will also allow us to tweak it to do more/different things if
needed for some locales and/or systems.
Closes#1079
For commands that always output to stdout and don't have a "-o" or
"--output" or some other similar option, this 'capture' setting allows
the build to capture the result and place it in the output file.
When a CustomTarget is run with a command that is an executable built
by the project which also has a DLL built in the same project as a
dependency, the EXE can't run on Windows because the DLL can't be found.
On UNIX-like systems, we set the RPATH using the linker so these
dependencies can be found, but on Windows the only way is to set the
PATH environment variable.
The same problem exists for tests, so we reuse that infrastructure by
creating a new meson_exe.py script that can be used as a wrapper to run
CustomTarget commands on Windows. This can later also be extended to add
support for setting an environment while calling the command needed to
generate a CustomTarget: https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/266
