g-ir-scanner does not convert relative -L paths to runtime paths which
are added to -Wl,-rpath and LD_LIBRARY_PATH / DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
/ PATH. This means that the local library will either not be found at
runtime (while building introspection data), or the system-wide
library will be picked instead.
See: giscanner/ccompiler.py:get_internal_link_flags() in
gobject-introspection for more details.
For an ELF targets, shared_module() builds a module with SONAME field
(using -Wl,-soname argument). This is wrong: only the shared_library()
needs SONAME, while shared_module() does not. Moreover, tools such as
debian's dpkg-shlibdeps use presence of SONAME field as an indicator
that this is shared library as opposed to shared module (e.g., for the
module it is okay to have unresolved symbols which are imported from
the executable which loads the module, while a library should have all
symbols resolved).
This was in fact already the behavior on Darwin; extend it to ELF
targets as well.

"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.
