Dylan Baker 4a014d1724 Add support for meson.options as a replacement for meson_options.txt
We will still try to load `meson_options.txt` if `meson.options` doesn't
exist. Because there are some advantages to using `meson.options` even
with older versions of meson (such as better text editor handling)
we will not warn about the existence of a `meson.options` file if a
`meson_options.txt` file or symlink also exists.

The name `meson.options` was picked instead of alternative proposals,
such as `meson_options.build` for a couple of reasons:

  1. meson.options is shorter
  2. While the syntax is the same, only the `option()` function may be
     called in meson.options, while, it may not be called in meson.build
  3. While the two files share a syntax and elementary types (strings,
     arrays, etc), they have different purposes: `meson.build` declares
     build targets, `meson.options` declares options. This is similar to
     the difference between C's `.c` and `.h` extensions.

As an implementation detail `Interpreter.option_file` has been removed,
as it is used exactly once, in the `project()` call to read the options,
and we can just calculate it there and not store it.

Fixes: #11176

Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 8afdecb039 Reword message in warning
"targetting" is verb-derived adjective, which sort-of-works here, but
makes the whole sentence awkward, because there's no verb. Let's just
use present simple.

The bundled python is deprecated, metal is unlikely to be deprecated any
time soon, so let's use that.

editorconfig: add setting to trim trailing whitespace
and clean up all outstanding issues

Skip 'test cases/common/141 special characters/meson.build' since it
intentionally uses trailing newlines.
