VS2015 automatically picks up outputs from CustomBuild commands, which we
now use instead of CustomBuildStep commands, which do not get picked up
automatically.
This changes how generated files are added to the VS project.
Previously, they were all added as a single CustomBuildStep with all
generator commands, inputs and outputs merged together.
Now, each input file is added separately to the project and is given a
CustomBuild command. This adds all generator input files to the files list
in the VS gui and allows to run only some of the generator commands if
only some of the input files have changed.
We check for the existence of PDB files in the install script, so we
don't need to do all this mucking about here. That's more robust too
because we don't need to parse build arguments in buildtype=plain
and decide if the PDB file would be generated.
There is no need to do obj.get_command() and in fact it's wrong
because the VS backends need to resolve each object to absolute paths
and get_command() does not do that.
This should fix invocation of GNOME module helpers with the VS backends
For the record, absolute paths for programs are needed because the
same PATH environment won't necessarily be available to Visual Studio
when it builds the generated solution.

This used to produce a warning, but then would crash anyway. It's
simpler if we just error out and have the user disable gir generation or
install gobject-introspection.
These compilers are available in MinGW and can be built on macOS.
More interestingly, `gcc` is a wrapper around `clang` on macOS, so we
will detect the compiler type incorrectly on macOS without this.
If you pass options, the last element in the array won't be the
compiler basename, so just check if the basename is in the exelist
somewhere.
Includes a test.
https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/pull/1406 had an incomplete fix
for this. The test case caught it.
Note: this still doesn't test that setting it in the cross-info works,
but it's the same codepath as via the environment so it should be ok.

We can't support generated XML files with custom_target() because the
dependency scanning happens at configure time, but we *can* support
generating them with configure_file().
Closes https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/1380
The same substitutions and rules as custom_target().
Also generally fix it to actually work when run in a subdir and with
anything other than absolute paths for input and output files.
We now also log a message when configuring files.
Includes tests for all this.
This means replacing @PLAINNAME@ and @BASENAME@ in the outputs. This is
the same feature as generator().
This is only allowed when there is only one input file for obvious
reasons + failing test for this.
Factor it out into a function in mesonlib.py. This will allow us to
reuse it for generators and for configure_file(). The latter doesn't
implement this at all right now.
Also includes unit tests.
