Sometimes it is needed to run the current compiler with specific options
not to compile a file but rather to obtain additional info. For example,
GCC has several -print-* options to query it about the paths to
different libraries and development files. One use case is to get the
location of development files for GCC plugins, which is not easily
obtainable by other means:
gcc -print-file-name=plugin
For this purpose, it would be convenient if the compiler object returned
by meson.get_compiler(lang) could be used in run_command() directly.
This commit implements it.

When building a Rust target with Rust library dependencies, an
`--extern` argument is now specified to avoid ambiguity between the
dependency library, and any crates of the same name in `rustc`'s
private sysroot.
Includes an illustrative test case.
The documentation doesn't require it and the interpreter code works around the
possibility of it being None. The ninja backend code however fails with
File "/home/whot/code/meson/mesonbuild/backend/ninjabackend.py", line 796, in generate_data_install
dstabs = os.path.join(subdir or None, plain_f)
File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/posixpath.py", line 78, in join
a = os.fspath(a)
TypeError: expected str, bytes or os.PathLike object, not NoneType
If install_dir is missing, default to datadir/projectname
PR #2527 suggests "making failing tests more strict about failing
gracefully".
To achive this, make meson exit with distinct exit statuses for meson errors
and python exceptions, and check the exit status is as expected for failing
tests.
I can't see how to write a test for this, within the current framework.
You can test this change by reverting the fix (but not the test) from commit
1a159db8 and verifying that 'test cases/failing/66 string as link target'
fails.
