This partially reverts commit add502c648.
In 'linkshared' test, annotate cppfunc() as imported, so an indirection
through an import stub is generated, avoiding a relocation size error
when building using gcc for Cygwin with LTO on.
Align with the example of how to write this portably in [1].
The 'c' language part of that test already gets this right.

We need to escape space in variables that gets into cflags or libs
because otherwise we cannot split compiler args when paths contains
spaces. But custom variables are unlikely to be path that gets used in
cflags/libs, and escaping them cause regression in GStreamer that use
space as separator in a list variable.
With this change File objects created with the builtin files() function
can be used with the fs submodule like normal strings.
All methods that seem reasonable support FileOrSting arguments.
For example fs.exists() still only takes str arguments because meson
already ensures that File objects do exist when creating them with files().
Each user facing function of the fs module has an additional FeatureNew
check when used with File objects.
The test cases for fs are extended appropriately with tests for File objects.
This is just forcing the usage of -include as c_args, even though this
particular case can happen easily when this is provided via a dependency
cflags.
We also ensure that both the headers are included by using locale
definitions.
Some variables are reserved because meson set them automatically. But we
are not setting them for dataonly pc files, so there is no reason to
reserve them.
Fixes: #8583.
All changes were created by running
"pyupgrade --py3-only --keep-percent-format"
and committing the results. I have not touched string formatting for
now.
- use set literals
- simplify .format() parameter naming
- remove __future__
- remove default "r" mode for open()
- use OSError rather than compatibility aliases
- remove stray parentheses in function(generator) scopes
Rather than having to manually build the locale aware man paths with
`install_data('foo.fr.1', install_dir: join_paths(get_option('mandir'), 'fr', 'man1'), rename: 'foo.1')`
Support doing
`install_man('foo.fr.1', locale: 'fr')`
Useful in case of boolean values to distinguish between a boolean
value having been set in the native/cross file and not having been
provided, which can't be achieved by passing a fallback parameter
to .get_external_property().
Currently we don't handle things correctly if we get a string we should
split, and the linker and needs compiler arguments. It would result in
two unsplit strings in a list, instead of the split arguments in a list
