This also adds a "# noqa: F401" comment on an unused "import lzma",
which we are using it in a try/except block that is being used to
check if the lzma module is importable; of course it is unused.
v2: This turned out to be a little tricky.
mesonbuild/modules/__init__.py had the "unused" import:
from ..interpreterbase import permittedKwargs, noKwargs
However, that meant that the various modules could do things like:
from . import noKwargs # "." is "mesonbuild.modules"
Which breaks when you remove __init__.py's "unused" import. I
could have tagged that import with "# noqa: F401", but instead I
chose to have each of the module import directly from
"..interpreterbase" instead of ".".
I got this warning on a build:
> WARNING: Passed invalid keyword argument preset. This will become a hard error in the future.
I had to grep in meson code to understand that "preset" was the name of
the invalid argument. This is not obvious at all depending on the
argument name (here it looked like it was about argument presets).
Let's make it clearer by putting it in quotes.
This avoids printing several 'Found:' messages during configure, and
also avoids doing several searches for the same binary. This is already
done by the interpreter for `find_program` calls from build files.
Also move it to the module-wide __init__.py file so it can be used by
other modules as-needed.
Also use it for g-ir-scanner where it was missed in one place, also fix
exception name in the same place.
It is often useful to be able to check if a specific object is of a type
defined in a module. To that end, define all such targets in
modules/__init__.py so that everyone can refer to them without poking
into module-specific code.
