When generating the .gir file we need g-ir-scanner to link the
introspector binary against the right dependencies, for that
we used to use the --library option but this has a special meaning
and the libs passed in there end up being the ones in the .gir file
itself, which is not what we want.
A new --extra-library option is beeing added in goject-introspection
(https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=774625) to handle our use case
(ie. not using libtool which allows g-ir-scanner to know about those)
and we should make use of it.
Closes#981
Otherwise trying to introspect tests might lead to:

Sometimes we want to restrict the acceptable versions to a list of
versions, or a smallest-version + largest-version, or both. For
instance, GStreamer's opencv plugin is only compatible with
3.1.0 >= opencv >= 2.3.0
We want compiler check arguments (-O0, -fpermissive, etc) to override
all other arguments, and we want extra_args passed in by the build file
to always override everything.
To do this properly, we must split include arguments out, append them
first, append all other arguments as usual, and then append the rest.
As part of this, we also add the compiler check flags to the
cc.compiles() and cc.links() helper functions since they also most
likely need them.
Also includes a unit test for all this.
Many frameworks, such as glib, provide translation functions and
functions that take format strings. As such every application using
these must duplicate the gettext arguments to function properly.
This reduces that duplication and improves correctness so they are
not left out.
Fixes#1123
I hit an issue when building gtk-doc documentation. The issue is
my fault, but the error output from Meson makes it look like an
internal error:
[0/1] 'Running external command libtracker-sparql-doc.'

After this patch, the output is much clearer:

1.25.1, they're only displayed in the example above because I made a
patch: <https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=774812>
This defaults to not exporting resources as that is generally what
you want but that does make this a breaking change. Along with that
if you export your resources you would want to install the header.
The install argument is allowed for CustomTargets, but we use
install_header as the setting now. Also, setting a generic template when
specifying the more specific source or header template shouldn't be
allowed.
