This detects cases where module A imports a function from B, and C
imports that same function from A instead of B. It's not part of the API
contract of A, and causes innocent refactoring to break things.
This can raise any OSError, but we only caught two of them that indicate
a particular failure case. Also catch the generic error form with a more
generic message.
This produces better error messages in cases where e.g. exclusive lock
is not supported.
Those classes are used by wrapper scripts and we should not have to
import the rest of mesonlib, build.py, and all their dependencies for
that.
This renames mesonlib/ directory to utils/ and add a mesonlib.py module
that imports everything from utils/ to not have to change `import
mesonlib` everywhere. It allows to import utils.core without importing
the rest of mesonlib.
