* Do not strip static archives
Stripping static archives without more fine-grained options (e.g. `-g`)
leads to failures such as
ld: libfoo.a: error adding symbols: archive has no index; run ranlib to add one
because GNU strip removes *every* symbol in a static archive by default.
Given that static archives are not final build artifacts (unlike
executables and shared libraries), stripping them gains little and only
causes more edge case failures.
* Gentoo's portage only strips debug information:
86f211e3a5/bin/estrip (L322)
* Fedora also only strips debug information:
e9c13c6565/scripts/brp-strip-static-archive (L18)
* Debian also only does some very light stripping:
72ed1d3261/dh_strip (L374)Fixes#4138
* Add test case for static archive stripping
Instead of the DynamicLinker returning a hardcoded value like
`-Wl,-foo`, it now is passed a value that could be '-Wl,', or could be
something '-Xlinker='
This makes a few things cleaner, and will make it possible to fix using
clang (not clang-cl) on windows, where it invokes either link.exe or
lld-link.exe instead of a gnu-ld compatible linker.
as what was done with clang-format, test the presence of the tool before
generating a dedicated target. Pass silently if scan-build is not found.

The regex was incorrect, so it was matching 'ARM64' with 'ARM'.
Make the regex more specific so that it matches:
Microsoft (R) C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 19.16.27031.1 for x64
Microsoft (R) C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 19.16.27031.1 for x86
Microsoft (R) C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 19.16.27031.1 for ARM64
Microsoft (R) 32-bit C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 16.00.30319.01 for 80x86
etc.
The size of WINEPATH is limited (1024 [until recently]), we
can very easily reach that limit, and even the new one (2048) so
try to keep path as small as possible by using the shortPath
version of paths.
Also assert that we do not reach the new hard limit.
And avoid having duplicates in the list of path.

* backends/vs: Only set platform_toolset if it isn't already set
* interpreter: set backend up after the compiler
Otherwise we won't be able to check which VS toolchain to use.
* docs/using-visual-studio: wrap lines
* docs: recommend the py launcher instead of python3 for windows
* set backend.environment when building a dummy version
* backends/vs: Add support for clang-cl with vs2017 and vs2019 backends
* backends/vs: Add support for ICL (19.x) with vs2015 and vs2017 backends
Before python 3.5.4 typing didn't have the NoReturn type, use a string
to forward declare it.
aside: I can't wait to be able to use python 3.7's
__future__.annotations and not have to deal wit hthis anymore.
Fixes#5822
When g-ir-scanner is overriden, we can't call it at configure time
but we know what options are avalaible (as it started using meson
after checked options where added) so do not try to call it to retrieve
the version as it will fail.
Also see https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/3442
It is often desirable to use ~ for home directory in -D compilation args.
Why the transform to pathlib.Path and back to str? Because this is one of many
places where the list(map(str,..))) will be eliminated upon Python 3.6 being
minimum Meson Python requirement.
