g-ir-scanner does not convert relative -L paths to runtime paths which
are added to -Wl,-rpath and LD_LIBRARY_PATH / DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
/ PATH. This means that the local library will either not be found at
runtime (while building introspection data), or the system-wide
library will be picked instead.
See: giscanner/ccompiler.py:get_internal_link_flags() in
gobject-introspection for more details.
For an ELF targets, shared_module() builds a module with SONAME field
(using -Wl,-soname argument). This is wrong: only the shared_library()
needs SONAME, while shared_module() does not. Moreover, tools such as
debian's dpkg-shlibdeps use presence of SONAME field as an indicator
that this is shared library as opposed to shared module (e.g., for the
module it is okay to have unresolved symbols which are imported from
the executable which loads the module, while a library should have all
symbols resolved).
This was in fact already the behavior on Darwin; extend it to ELF
targets as well.

These were spotted by mypy and pyright. One is a string where a Path is
expected, another other is a possibly unbound variable, and the third is
bound but unused variables.
Both of these are artifacts of the time before Dependency Factories,
when a dependency that could be discovered multiple ways did ugly stuff
like finding a specific dependency, then replacing it's own attributes
with that dependency's attributes. We don't have cases of that left in
the tree, so let's get rid of this code too
Including not calling back into `Interpreter.func_*`, which is not a
good idea both from a type saftey and perforamance point of view.
Instead there's now a shared _impl method
"meson setup" is resolving symlinks for the build directory in
validate_core_dirs. For consistency with it, do the same when
the build directory is passed via -C to devenv, dist, init, install
and test.
This ensures for example that the path to test dependencies is
computed correctly in "meson test".
