Otherwise if we for some reason get '/usr/lib/../lib' in there
we end up saying it is not a system path.
And for some reason here I got:
```
$ pkg-config --libs libffi 148 ST 117 hotdoc
-L/usr/lib/../lib -lffi
```
Having a period at the end of sentences in messages is confusing when
a file or path is being outputted, and is inconsistent when not.
This is part of an ongoing effort to fix this inconsistency across the
message outputs everywhere in Meson.
Using the -pthread argument is not needed with clang when compiling for
darwin, and it results in the warning:
warning: argument unused during compilation: '-pthread'
GNU binutils ld silently ignores -rpath flags when targeting windows
(and it is already commented within ninjabackend.py that rpath as
concept doesn't exist on windows), and build_rpath_args in
VisualStudioCCompiler also returns an empty array. Therefore skip
this flag altogether.
This fixes linking with lld in MinGW mode, which doesn't support the
rpath flag.
This is a regression in Meson 0.48.0, commit 674ae46, Meson used to
exit(0) when running setup command in a builddir already configured.
Changing to exit(1) breaks some build tools that does "meson builddir
&& ninja -C builddir".
Closes#4247.
--as-needed controls ELF-specific functionality (the emission of DT_NEEDED
tags)
--no-undefined is effectively always on for PE/COFF, as the linkage model
always requires symbols to be defined
binutils ld silently ignores these flags for PE targets, but lld warns that
it's ignoring them, so just don't bother emitting them for PE targets.
It appears that debian has changed their naming scheme. This might
require revisiting in the future to add llvm-config-7.0 if debian
decides to do that.
gtk-doc for autotools has the concept of module version, that is used to define
the module install path and the devhelp2 basename.
Add a `module_version` parameter to gnome.gtkdoc to replicate the same behavior.
Updated the test checking that the install_dir is properly computed (if not
passed), and that the .devhelp2 file has proper name.

The use of ABC classes (like MutableSet) is deprecated currently, in
python 3.8 the aliases in collections will be dropped and only the ones
in collections.abc will remain. collections.abc has existed since python
3.3, so there is no backwards compatibility risk.
gtkdoc-scangobj also accepts compiler arguments. In the same way
that include_directories includes directories, the new c_args
parameter also appends compiler arguments.
One of the gtkdoc's steps calls to gtkdoc-scangobj that also accepts
compiler arguments by using the cflags option.
Compiler arguments from dependencies are also appended now.
D compilers are configured to have highest priority when chosing linker
for targets mixing C/C++/D code and before this change meson would fail
to configure gtest target that uses D library as a dependency.
As it currently stands, if for whatever reason you have two files you
want to merge with the same output name, it will fail due to multiple
targets with the same name due to the target name being autogenerated
from the output kwarg.

* Enums are strongly typed and make the whole
`gcc_type`/`clang_type`/`icc_type` distinction
redundant.
* Enums also allow extending via member functions,
which makes the code more generalisable.
