Treat it the same as -lfoo by deduping and adding to --start/end-group

We don't do any advanced transformation for MSVC or de-dup because
this is a very rare syntax.
Add a keyword argument to to_native() to operate on a copy so that we
can call it multiple times instead of modifying the original compiler
args while iterating.
This is used in the unit test, and might be used in Meson at some
point too.
- For optimization=s add /O1: Use Maximum Optimization (Favor Size),
and remove /Os as it's implied by /O1.
- Because we add /O1, this implies /Gy, i.e. Function-Level Linking, so
unused code can be omitted.
- Add /Gw: Optimize Global Data, so unused data can be omitted.
With buildtype=minsize on x86 this reduces the size of a statically
linked Vala compiler binary from 5 MB down to just 1.87 MB.
This means that we will take into account all the flags set in the
cross file when fetching the list of library dirs, which means we
won't incorrectly look for 64-bit libraries when building for 32-bit.

D is not a 'c-like' language, but it can link to C libraries. The same
might be true of Rust in the future and Go when we add support for it.
This contains no functionality changes.
All dependencies were using find_library, has_header, get_define, etc on
self.compiler assuming that it's a compiler that outputs and consumes
C-like libraries. This is not true for D (and in the future, for Rust)
since although they can consume C libraries, they do not use the
C ecosystem.
For such purposes, we now have self.clib_compiler. Nothing uses
self.compiler anymore as a result, and it has been removed.
On macOS, we set the install_name for built libraries to
@rpath/libfoo.dylib, and when linking to the library, we set the RPATH
to its path in the build directory. This allows all built binaries to
be run as-is from the build directory (uninstalled).
However, on install, we have to strip all the RPATHs because they
point to the build directory, and we change the install_name of all
built libraries to the absolute path to the library. This causes the
install name in binaries to be out of date.
We now change that install name to point to the absolute path to each
built library after installation.

With this, the default workflow on macOS matches what everyone seems
to do, including Autotools and CMake. The next step is providing a way
for build files to override the install_name that is used after
installation for use with, f.ex., private libraries when combined with
the install_rpath: kwarg on targets.
Because vala is not listed in clike_langs, is_source(fname) is returning False
for Vala source files. Therefore, extract_all_objects() is completely empty
for Vala programs.
Fixes#791
Normally, people would just pass -fembed-bitcode in CFLAGS, but this
conflicts with -Wl,-dead_strip_dylibs and -bundle, so we need it as
an option so that those can be quietly disabled.
This checks not only for existence, but also for usability of the
header, which means it does a full compilation and not just
pre-processing or __has_include.

This patch exploits the information residing in ltversion to set the
-compatibility_version and -current_version flags that are passed to the
linker on macOS.
GNU LD does not use soname when linking a PE/COFF binary, so it makes no
difference, but it breaks when using the llvm linker (lld), which does
not support the soname flag when building PE/COFF binaries for Windows.
Fix#3179
This caching is only for a single run, so it doesn't help reconfigure.
However, it is useful for subproject setups where different subprojects
will run the same compiler checks.
The cache is also per compiler instance and is not used for functions
that want to read or run the outputted object file or binary.
For gst-build, this halves the number of compiler checks that are run
and reduces configuration time by 20%.
