It used to support:
- a single string
- an array of anything
And as long as CustomTarget supported it too, everything worked fine.
So, a `files('foo')` worked but a `files('foo')[0]` did not, which is
silly... and it's not exactly terrible to use files() here, the input is
literally a list of source files.

It is unmaintained, broken (frequently for long periods of time) and not
really required for any meson functionality. Its purpose is to be used
as a one-shot tool for creating a distro package recipe, and then
deleted from your meson.build files.
Due to its fragile dependency on coredata implementation details, we
cannot assume it will reliably work, or continue to work, without
someone who is actively willing to take responsibility for it.
Even if that were to happen, this might be better off as an external
script that parses introspection data.

This is another toolchain also called `armclang`, but it is not a cross
compiler like Keil's `armclang`. It is essentially the same as `clang`
based on its interface and CMake's support of the toolchain.
Use an `armltd` prefix for the compiler ID.
Fixes: #7255
Add ability to mutate a target's `extra_files` list through the
rewriter.
The logic is copied from sources add/rm, but changes the `extra_files`
kwarg instead of the sources positional argument.
Has additional logic to handle creating the `extra_files` list if it
doesn't exist.
There are thee arguments that are passed directly to CustomTarget which
are not in the permittedKwargs: depends, depend_files, and build_always.
The first two are obviously generically useful, as they allow creating
correct ordering. The latter, not so much. Since it was an error to pass
it, we'll just delete it.
generate_gir forces building both the typelib and gir, and some people
only want one or the other (probably only the typelib?) which means
flagging the other as install_dir: false in the same way custom_target
supports.
As this always worked, albeit undocumented, make sure it keeps working.
It's pretty reasonable to allow, anyway.

Since they will never be used outside of the build directory, they do
not need to literally contain the .o files, and references will be
sufficient.
This covers a major use of object libraries, which is that the static
library would potentially take up a lot of space by including another
copy of every .o file.

* Revert "README: Don't recommend using as a standalone script"
This reverts commit 9763bf65c6.
zipapps work fine now that we have a single entry point. Time to
recommend them again.
* update zipapp documentation to recommend the current packaging script
Also update the website documentation to mention this at all.
It can be either:
- boolean: the option is completely deprecated.
- list: some choices are deprecated.
- dict: some choices are deprecated and replaced by another.
Fixes: #7444
This replaces the absolute hack of using
```
install_subdir('nonexisting', install_dir: 'share')
```
which requires you to make sure you don't accidentally or deliberately
have a completely different directory with the same name in your source
tree that is full of files you don't want installed. It also avoids
splitting the name in two and listing them in the wrong order.
You can also set the install mode of each directory component by listing
them one at a time in order, and in fact create nested structures at
all.
