This commit performs some cleanup for the msvc and clang-cl arguments.
* "Disable Debug" (`/Od`) is no longer manually specified for optimization levels {`0`,`g`} (it is already the default for MSVC).
* "Run Time Checking" (`/RTC1`) removed from `debug` buildtype by default
* Clang-CL `debug` buildtype arguments now match MSVC arguments
* There is now no difference between `buildtype` flags and `debug` + `optimization` flags
The /ZI flag adds in "Edit and Continue" debug information, which will
cause massive slowdown. It is not a flag that we should be adding by
default to debug builds.
/Zi will still be added.
The new behavior of interrupting the longest running test with Ctrl-C is useful
when tests hang, but not when the run is completely broken for some reason.
Psychology tells us that the user will compulsively spam Ctrl-C in this case,
so exit if three Ctrl-C's are detected within a second.
aligning along the left is, I think, what most projects want to do.
Aligning along the middle looks subjectively ugly, and objectively
prevents me from further indenting an element, e.g.
Build information:
prefix : /usr
sysconfdir : /etc
conf file : /etc/myprogram.conf
It requires at least one option argument, and the one that provides
"basic information" about the project is --projectinfo, so let's use
that to demo the command.

* doc: fix hotdoc misuse for dynamically generated content
hotdoc has a native include feature for including files inline. Use this
to generate one file for each dynamically generated code block, and
include that file in Commands.md; see:
https://hotdoc.github.io/syntax-extensions.html#smart-file-inclusion-syntax
This permits us to move back to using the in-tree version of the hotdoc
*.md sources, thus fixing the incorrect inclusion of "builddir/" in the
"Edit on github" links which resulted from using copies as the source.
Fixes#8061
* doc: call the dummy file a "stamp" as it is a better known term
Like other language specific modules this module is module for holding
rust specific helpers. This commit adds a test() function, which
simplifies using rust's internal unittest mechanism.
Rust tests are generally placed in the same code files as they are
testing, in contrast to languages like C/C++ and python which generally
place the tests in separate translation units. For meson this is
somewhat problematic from a repetition point of view, as the only
changes are generally adding --test, and possibly some dependencies.
The rustmod.test() method provides a mechanism to remove the repatition:
it takes a rust target, copies it, and then addes the `--test` option,
then creates a Test() target with the `rust` protocol. You can pass
additional dependencies via the `dependencies` keyword. This all makes
for a nice, DRY, test definition.
Rust has it's own built in unit test format, which is invoked by
compiling a rust executable with the `--test` flag to rustc. The tests
are then run by simply invoking that binary. They output a custom test
format, which this patch adds parsing support for. This means that we
can report each subtest in the junit we generate correctly, which should
be helpful for orchestration systems like gitlab and jenkins which can
parse junit XML.
It is a usual workflow to fix something and retest to see if it is fixed using a
particular test. When tests start to become numerous, it becomes time consuming
for "meson test" to relink all of them (and in fact rebuild the whole project)
where the user has already specified the tests they want to run, as well as
the tests' dependencies.
Teach meson to be smart and only build what is needed for the test (or suite)
that were specified.

Some changes:
* Set HOME to /root, since github mounts its own HOME and 'wine'
(because of permissions) and 'dub' (can't find packages) don't
like that.
* Remove the seccomp option, doesn't seem to be needed.
This fix a regression introduced in Meson 0.56.0 when using python 3.5.
Also mention in documentation that using a meson dict does not guarantee
ordering.
Fixes: #8074.
Allow methods on the compiler object to receive internal dependencies,
as long as they only specify compiler/linker arguments or other
dependencies that satisfy the same requirements.
This is useful if you're using internal dependencies to add special
"-D" flags such as -DNCURSES_WIDECHAR, -D_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED or
-DGLIB_STATIC_COMPILATION.
In most places, we now refer to "builddir/" which is a lot less likely
to make people think it is a subcommand which needs to be used
literally.
This is a regression since commit 276d342eba
due to the existence of new docs which were added later on, using the
wrong form.
Some CMake packages fail to find at all if no version is specified.
This commit adds a cmake_version parameter to dependency() to allow you
to specify the requested version.
- mention installing from local sources, not PyPI
- warn against --user installs, which too often screw up users that then
cannot install projects because ~/.local won't be in sudo's PYTHONPATH
- advise installing with sudo -- current versions of pip assume --user
for you rather than failing with permission errors, which is great
unless, like meson, there are compelling reasons to need to install as
root
Some license identifiers are ambiguous (e.g. "GPL3"). The SPDX license
identifiers avoid this by providing standardized and unique identifiers
(e.g. "GPL-3.0-only" or "GPL-3.0-or-later" for the previous example).
Because SPDX short-form identifiers are also both human- and
machine-readable we should recommend them in the documentation.
More information (advantages, details, etc.) can be found here:

- https://spdx.dev/ids/Fix#7905.
Using the std option, so now `rust_std=..` will work. I've chosen to use
"std" even though rust calls these "editions", as meson refers to
language versions as "standards", which makes meson feel more uniform,
and be less surprising.
