Ninja buffers all commands and prints them only after they are
complete. Because of this, long-running commands such as `cargo
build` show no output at all and it's impossible to know if the
command is merely taking too long or is stuck somewhere.
To cater to such use-cases, Ninja has a 'pool' with depth 1 called
'console', and all processes in this pool have the following
properties:
1. stdout is connected to the program, so output can be seen in
real-time
2. The output of all other commands is buffered and displayed after
a command in this pool finishes running
3. Commands in this pool are executed serially (normal commands
continue to run in the background)
This feature is available since Ninja v1.5

For some reason this was missing, but it should've always existed
since cc.find_library() returns an object that is internally an
ExternalDependency instance.

Instead of exposing the endianness in the CPU family, canonicalise the CPU
family to just "ppc64" to match MIPS (which is also bi-endian).
Part of the work for #3842.
The notes section of add_install_script somehow got separated, which
meant that no one reads it anymore.
Also rephrase it a bit to clarify that scripts *MUST* handle DESTDIR
correctly to mirror what Meson does, and how.
* Fix flake8 whitespace reports

PR #3717 imports ARMCLANG compilers in __init__, but does not add them to
__all__, so they are not re-exported by the compilers package like
everything else.

Mention that Sider runs flake8
Suggest seting flake8 as a pre-commit hook
Currently the former will be parsed as [''], while the latter is parsed
as [] in python. This makes for some obnoxious special handling
depending on what the user passes. This is even more obnoxious since for
string type arguments this doesn't require special handling.
We mention this is equivalent to setting both build_by_default and
build_always_stale in the release note, and in the warning emitted when it's
used, but not in the reference manual.
* environment: validate cpu_family in cross file
* run_unittests: add unittest to ensure CPU family list in docs and environment matches
* run_unittests: skip compiler options test if not in a git repository
* environment: validate the detected cpu_family
* docs: add 32-bit PowerPC and 32/64-bit MIPS to CPU Families table
Names gathered by booting Linux in Qemu and running:

Partial fix for #3751
Since `build_always` also adds a target to the set of default targets,
this option is marked deprecated in favour of the new option
`build_always_stale`.
`build_always_stale` *only* marks the target to be always considered out
of date, but does *not* add it to the set of default targets.
The old behaviour can still be achieved by combining
`build_always_stale` with `build_by_default`.
fixes#1942
This is a special type of option to be passed to most 'required' keyword
arguments. It adds a 3rd state to the traditional boolean value to cause
those methods to always return not-found even if the dependency could be
found.
Since integrators doesn't want enabled features to be a surprise there
is a global option "auto_features" to enable or disable all
automatic features.
