* Fixed spelling
* Merged the Buildoptions and Projectinfo interpreter
* Moved detect_compilers to Environment
* Added removed test case
* Split detect_compilers and moved even more code into Environment
* Moved set_default_options to coredata
* Small code simplification in mintro.run
* Move cmd_line_options back to `environment`
We don't actually wish to persist something this unstructured, so we
shouldn't make it a field on `coredata`. It would also be data
denormalization since the information we already store in coredata
depends on the CLI args.
This variant was added to allow introspection before configuring a build
directory. This is useful for IDE integration to allow displaying and/or
setting options for the initial configuration of the build directory.
It also allows showing basic information about the project even if it's
not yet configured or configuring failed.
The project 'name' field in --projectinfo is used inconsistently:
For the top level project it always shows the name configured in
the top level meson.build file. For subprojects it's referring to the
name of the directory the subproject's meson.build is contained in.
To have a consistent output and preserve the existing behavior this adds
the 'descriptive_name' field which always shows the name set in the
project.
To be consistent the 'descriptive_name' field was also added to the
--projectfiles variant that uses an already configured build.
It also extends the information shown with the list of buildsystem-files.
This is currently only implemented in the variant for unconfigured
projects.
This has the adventage that "meson --help" shows a list of all commands,
making them discoverable. This also reduce the manual parsing of
arguments to the strict minimum needed for backward compatibility.
