* intel-cl tests: more rigorous detection of intent to use Intel Windows compilers
* fortran coarray test: make skipping more robust in that underlying MPI stack is .run()
This is useful for any Fortran coarray work, and especially for intel-cl where multiple Intel compiler
versions are often installed, and the wrong underlying MPI library may be dynamically linked,
and so a runtime check is needed to exercise the MPI stack underlying Fortran coarray.
This is done by
fc.run('sync all; end', dependencies: coarray)
* pep8
* 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.

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.
This is a mixin class for DynamicLinkers that aims to provide only the
most basic posix-like linker arguments, in other words bits that gnu ld,
apple's ld, solaris's ld, and other completely disjoint linkers that are
used on Unix-like OSes share.
Ifort can generate dependency information (.d files), it just does it
differently than GNU compilers do. This also fixes a bug caused by
adding the dependency generation commands to the GNULike class later in
this series.
These two functions are different only in the classes that they use, a
couple of simple in-line ternaries takes care of that and reduces code
duplication.
