* Add a new compiler object method: has_members
Identical to 'cc.has_member', except that this takes multiple members
and all of them must exist else it returns false.
This is useful when you want to verify that a structure has all of
a given set of fields. Individually checking each member is horrifying.
* Fix typo in exceptions for has_member(s)
D allows programmers to define their tests alongside the actual code in
a unittest scope[1].
When compiled with a special flag, the compiler will build a binary
containing the tests instead of the actual application.
This is a strightforward and easy way to run tests and works well with
Mesons test() command.
Since using just one flag name to enable unittest mode would be too
boring, compiler developers invented multiple ones.
Adding this helper method makes it easy for people writing Meson build
descriptions for D projects to enable unittestmode.

This allows the user to specify custom arguments to the compiler to be used
while performing cross-compiler checks. For example, passing a GCC specs file as
c_link_args so that a "prefix" filled with libraries that are to be compiled
against can be found with cc.find_library, or an `-mcpu` c_arg that is required
for compilation.
Also ensure that unix_link_flags_to_native() and unix_compile_flags_to_native()
always return a copy of the original arguments and not a reference to the
original arguments. We never want to modify the original arguments.
Without this, checks with incompatible versions but the same library would
return true. Example:
dependency('zlib', version : '>=1.2')
dependency('zlib', version : '<1.0') # this will return the same dep again!
Example: https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/568
This simply sets the default version to be the same as the project version.
Useful for dependency version checks when using fallback subproject internal
dependencies.
This allows a project to use the same fallbacks dependency from the same
subproject multiple times in the same way that external dependencies can be.
Also change the format of the dependency identifier to ensure that fallback
checks with different dirname/varname aren't mistakenly reused. We now use
a tuple for this because the format is simpler to construct and it gives us the
same immutability guarantees as a string which is needed for using it as
a dictionary key.
