This replaces all of the Apache blurbs at the start of each file with an
`# SPDX-License-Identifier: Apache-2.0` string. It also fixes existing
uses to be consistent in capitalization, and to be placed above any
copyright notices.
This removes nearly 3000 lines of boilerplate from the project (only
python files), which no developer cares to look at.
SPDX is in common use, particularly in the Linux kernel, and is the
recommended format for Meson's own `project(license: )` field
In commit a7e458effa we stopped erroring
out on invalid TAP stream contents, with the rationale that "prove" has
become more lenient.
A close reading of the TAP spec indicates why, though:
> A TAP parser is required to not consider an unknown line as an error but
> may optionally choose to capture said line and hand it to the test
> harness, which may have custom behavior attached. This is to allow for

The goal of treating unknown lines as an error in the TAP parser is not
because unknown lines are fine and dandy. The goal is to allow
implementing future versions of TAP, and handling it via existing
parsers. Since Meson has both a parser and a harness, let's do exactly
that -- pass these lines as a distinctive status to the test harness,
then have the test harness complain.
TAP version 14 introduced subtests, that are supposedly backward compatible
because "TAP13 specifies that non-TAP output should be ignored". Meson
reported TAP syntax errors based on behavior of "prove" at the time,
but it seems that now "prove" has become a lot more lenient; it even
accepts the following completely bogus input just fine:
---
ok 1
ok 2
x
1..1
---
So do the same and make Meson's parser accept invalid TAP input silently.
