It was previously impossible to do this:
```
dep.get_pkgconfig_variable(
'foo',
define_variable: ['prefix', '/usr', 'datadir', '/usr/share'],
)
```
since get_pkgconfig_variable mandated exactly two (if any) arguments.
However, you could do this:
```
dep.get_variable(
'foo',
pkgconfig_define: ['prefix', '/usr', 'datadir', '/usr/share'],
)
```
It would silently do the wrong thing, by defining "prefix" as
`/usr=datadir=/usr/share`, which might not "matter" if only datadir was
used in the "foo" variable as the unmodified value might be adequate.
The actual intention of anyone writing such a meson.build is that they
aren't sure whether the .pc file uses ${prefix} or ${datadir} (or which
one gets used, might have changed between versions of that .pc file,
even).
A recent refactor made this into a hard error, which broke some projects
that were doing this and inadvertently depending on some .pc file that
only used the second variable. (This was "fine" since the result was
essentially meaningful, and even resulted in behavior identical to the
intended behavior if both projects were installed into the same prefix
-- in which case there's nothing to remap.)
Re-allow this. There are two ways we could re-allow this:
- ignore it with a warning
- add a new feature to allow actually doing this
Since the use case which triggered this bug actually has a pretty good
reason to want to do this, it makes sense to add the new feature.

D lang compilers have an option -release (or similar) which turns off
asserts, contracts, and other runtime type checking. This patch wires
that up to the b_ndebug flag.

Fortran: check for undeclared variables by forcing implicit none everywhere
C/C++: check for unused parameters and return types
removed unused variables from test cases
ci: do missing return and unused arg check with Github Actions
The test used by the new define_variable parameter was using the
includedir directory. However, in order to get a successful test,
the includedir variables needs to be relative to the prefix
variable, otherwise the replacemente will not have any effect.
This changes uses the prefix variable itself because we can
assure that it will be present.
pkg-config enables to define variables by using the define-variable
option. This allows some packages to redefine relative paths, so
files can be installed in the same relative paths but under prefix.
All our cached_dep magic was totally useless since we ended up using
the same identifier for native and cross deps. Just nuke all this
cached_dep code since it is very error-prone and improve the
identifier generation instead.
For instance, this is broken *right now* with the `type_name` kwarg.
Add a bunch of tests to ensure that all this actually works...
Closes https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/1736
Just checking that the version retrieved from the pkg-config file
matches is not enough. It's nearly tautological since it just checks
that we aren't returning garbage in dep.version(). Instead, check in the
test executable that the pkg-config version retrieved matches the
ZLIB_VERSION exported by zlib.
Also don't require zlib 1.2.8 since RHEL (EPEL) 7 still has 1.2.7 and we
don't really need 1.2.8 anyway.
