Previously builds would *potentially* get sammed with messaging at
configure time that duplicate entries in an array would be an error in
the future, and the cause was because the same entries were getting
added over and over to pkg_config_path.p
This is a useful thing to document. I wasn't really sure where to put
it, but since it's developer oriented I figured in the code itself was
probably more useful and more likely to be seen than in the markdown
that generates the website.
We're down to just declaring the data files in python now.
setup.cfg can, uniquely, retrieve version info by trying to parse the
AST for simple assignments (which we use) instead of importing the
entire module.
And don't run a pointless test to verify that the hardcoded list has
been manually maintained correctly. The same test rules used there can
translate directly to find_packages pattern rules.
The script dir is never really used since meson --internal handles this.
The last remaining use of the raw script dir got removed in commit
522392e755.
In commit caab4d3d, the uid and gid arguments passed to os.chown() by
set_chown() were accidentally swapped, causing files to end up with
incorrect owner/group if the owner and group are not the same.
Also update the documentation to better indicate which argument to
install_mode is which.

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
- ModuleState is now a real class that will have methods in the future
for actions modules needs, instead of using interpreter internal API.
- New ModuleObject base class, similar to InterpreterObject, that should
be used by all objects returned by modules. Its methods gets the
ModuleState passed as first argument. It has a `methods` dictionary to
define what is public API that can be called from build definition.
- Method return value is not required to be a ModuleReturnValue any
more, it can be any type that interpreter can holderify, including
ModuleObject.
- Legacy module API is maintained until we port all modules.
In the future modules should be updated:
- Use methods dict.
- Remove snippets.
- Custom objects returned by modules should all be subclass of
ModuleObject to get the state iface in their methods.
- Modules should never call into interpreter directly and instead state
object should have wrapper API.
- Stop using ModuleReturnValue in methods that just return simple
objects like strings. Possibly remove ModuleReturnValue completely
since all objects that needs to be processed by interpreter (e.g.
CustomTarget) should be created through ModuleState API.
