Some warnings are out of the user's control, such as the RCC QT bug,
or the GNU windres bug, or our informational warning about
auto-disabling of options when -Db_bitcode is enabled.
Such warnings should not be fatal when --fatal-meson-warnings is
passed because there's no action that the user can take to fix it. The
only purpose it serves is to prevent people who use those features
from using --fatal-meson-warnings.
On some systems aarch64 is reported as arm64. Due to mesons
mangling of everything that starts with arm, it would end up being
detected as arm (which implies 32 bit) which is incorrect.
We don't need the legacy variable name system as for dependency()
fallbacks because meson.override_find_program() is largely used already,
so we can just rely on it.
This fix the following common pattern, we don't want to implicitly
fallback on the first line:
foo_dep = dependency('foo', required: false)
if not foo_dep.found()
foo_dep = cc.find_library('foo', required : false)
if not foo_dep.found()
foo_dep = dependency('foo', fallback: 'foo')
endif
endif
The value for that key must be a coma separated list of dependecy names
provided by that subproject, when no variable name is needed because the
subproject uses override_dependency().
Machine files already supports `+` operator as an implementation detail,
since it's using eval(). Now make it an officially supported feature and
add a way to define constants that are used while evaluating an entry
value.
This lets servers know when they're being used by meson. It also avoids
issues where the Independent JPEG Group decided to ban the
"Python-urllib" default user agent.

Since the CompileArgs class already needs to know about the compiler,
and we really need at least per-lanaguage if not per-compiler
CompilerArgs classes, let's get the CompilerArgs instance from the
compiler using a method.
When changing meson option cpp_eh, it was passed to cl with AdditionalOptions and resulted in unsuppressable warning "cl : command line warning D9025: overriding '/EHs' with '/EHa'"
- vcpkg libraries are not found when given cmake_toolchain_file and vcpkg_target_triplet as cmake_args when looking for the dependency if the first call to cmake has different arguments. The libraries are found if the first call has same arguments or if the CMakeCache.txt is deleted in call_with_fake_build.
