All kwargs inherited from has_header need to be prefixed `header_` so we
cannot just do straight inheritance. And the part of the description
that highlighted the way kwargs are derived and evolved, went entirely
missing.
Fixes#9551
It has always been working even if not documented and there is no reason
to not accept it. However, change "True/False" to "true/false" to be
consistent with meson language.
Fixes: #9436
Since they will never be used outside of the build directory, they do
not need to literally contain the .o files, and references will be
sufficient.
This covers a major use of object libraries, which is that the static
library would potentially take up a lot of space by including another
copy of every .o file.

* Revert "README: Don't recommend using as a standalone script"
This reverts commit 9763bf65c6.
zipapps work fine now that we have a single entry point. Time to
recommend them again.
* update zipapp documentation to recommend the current packaging script
Also update the website documentation to mention this at all.
It can be either:
- boolean: the option is completely deprecated.
- list: some choices are deprecated.
- dict: some choices are deprecated and replaced by another.
Fixes: #7444
This replaces the absolute hack of using
```
install_subdir('nonexisting', install_dir: 'share')
```
which requires you to make sure you don't accidentally or deliberately
have a completely different directory with the same name in your source
tree that is full of files you don't want installed. It also avoids
splitting the name in two and listing them in the wrong order.
You can also set the install mode of each directory component by listing
them one at a time in order, and in fact create nested structures at
all.

Properly fixes#2904
In the refman rewrite, these functions vanished. I noticed this when I
went looking at the docs for extract_all_objects(), or should I say I
tried to go looking.
Yelp currently can take sources two different ways, the first is via
variadic arguments, the second is by a keyword argument. If the keyword
is passed then the variadic arguments are silently ignored, which is
obviously not ideal. Fortunately the variadic form was never documented,
and is likely not in wide use.
This patch fixes it by deprecating the variadic form, and warning if
both are passed. It does not change behavior as someone may be relying
on it.
