Rather than having two separate sections with duplicated information
lets just have one for the common settings, and only document sections
specific to each file in separately
PR #6363 made it so our interpretation of env vars no longer clashed
with Autoconf's: if both Meson and Autoconf would read and env var, both
would do the same things with the value they read.
However, there were still cases that autoconf would read an env var when
meson wouldn't:
- Autoconf would use `CC` in cross builds too
- Autoconf would use `CC_FOR_BUILD` in native builds too.
There's no reason Meson can't also do this--if native cross files
overwrite rather than replace env vars, cross files can also overwrite
rather than replace env vars.
Because variables like `CC` are so ubiquitous, and because ignoring them
in cross builds just makes those builds liable to break (and things more
complicated in general), we bring Meson's behavior in line with
Autoconf's.
It may not be obvious to users that these two ways to set build-types
override each other and specifying both is redundant, and conflicts
are resolved based on whichever is specified later.

This is needed when mixing D and C code, as it's possible to end up
witha combination of linkers and compilres such that C produces pdb
files but D does not.
This allows the harness to apply the version correctly, putting it in the right
place, dropping the right amount of numbers, etc.
pdb taking a version allows it to be more easily copied from the
shared_lib type.
[why]
Sometimes one want to set the 'Conflicts:' field in .pc files.
This is possible by using the 'conflicts' keyword argument in the
pkgconfig module. The feature is not documented on mesonbuild.org,
though.
But a warning is issued:
WARNING: Passed invalid keyword argument "conflicts".
WARNING: This will become a hard error in the future.
History:
It has been added along with kwarg 'url' with commit
309041918 pkgconfig: Add missing 'URL' and 'Conflicts' entries
Later the kwargs check has been introduced with
80d665e8d Converted some modules.
but both 'url' and 'conflicts' were missing.
With commit
2acf737b pkgconfig: Document url keyword
the 'url' kwarg has been added to the checks, but not 'conflicts'.
[how]
Add 'conflicts' to the allowed kwargs.

Similar to meson.override_find_program() but overrides the result of the
dependency() function.
Also ensure that dependency() always returns the same result when
looking for the same dependency, this fixes cases where parts of the
project could be using a system library and other parts use the library
provided by a subproject.
Otherwise you have to hunt through the source code. Specifically, this
is defined in `mesonbuild/coredata.py`: `set_buildtype_from_others()`
and `set_others_from_buildtype()`
As any child of BuildTargetHolder might need the name of the object,
provides a method to get object name.
This is useful in gst-build to display the plugin name and not
the filename.
Emscripten does have a stand alone linker, wasm-ld. This patch adds the
linker, adds detection for the linker, and removes the IsLinkerMixin for
emscripten. This is a little more correct, and makes the code a lot
cleaner and more robust.
Emscripten has pthread support (as well as C++ threads), but we don't
currently implement them. This fixes that by adding the necessary code.
The one thing I'm not sure about is setting the pool size. The docs
suggest that you really want to do this to ensure that your code works
correctly, but the number should really be configurable, not sure how to
set that.
