"meson setup" is resolving symlinks for the build directory in
validate_core_dirs. For consistency with it, do the same when
the build directory is passed via -C to devenv, dist, init, install
and test.
This ensures for example that the path to test dependencies is
computed correctly in "meson test".

* dependencies: Deterministic LLVM compile and link arg ordering
In LLVMDependencyConfigTool, the members compile_args and required_modules are
either converted to or stored as sets, which do not have a stable ordering. This
results in nondeterministic builds, particularly with required_modules causing
the order in which the LLVM libraries are linked in to the output binaries to
change across independent builds. As any guarantee about ordering for
compile_args is lost by being converted from a list to a set and back, and the
modules added to required_modules was even already sorted once, sort both when
converting them to lists.
* Use mesonlib.OrderedSet instead of sorting the sets.

Currently all arguments are being passed to scan-build as part of the
refactoring of how Meson internally handles arguments, but that's wrong,
only project specific arguments are supposed to be passed.
Fixes: #8818
This is useful both from the perspective of optional functionality that
requires a module, and also as I continue to progress with Meson++,
which will probably not implement all of the modules that Meson itself
does.
`qt.preprocess` dispatches to the individual methods instead of
duplicating all of the logic itself, but this means that it goes through
the type checking, and feature checking a second time. To avoid this we
need to use a private helper method instead.
Fixes#8920
This commit introduces a new type of `HoldableObject`: The
`SecondLevelHolder`. The primary purpose of this class is
to handle cases where two (or more) `HoldableObject`s are
stored at the same time (with one default object). The
best (and currently only) example here is the `BothLibraries`
class.
Logs are printed only when the task is done to not interleave logs while
running multiple tasks in parallel. That means that nothing is printed
until the task is done and that could take time.
