Dylan Baker 3d80a88bd3 modules: Add an unstable-rust module
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.

Meson Documentation

Build dependencies

Meson uses itself and hotdoc for generating documentation.

Minimum required version of hotdoc is 0.8.9.

Instructions on how to install hotdoc are here.

Building the documentation

From the Meson repository root dir:

$ cd docs/
$ meson built_docs
$ ninja -C built_docs/ upload

Now you should be able to open the documentation locally

built_docs/Meson documentation-doc/html/index.html

Upload

Meson uses the git-upload hotdoc plugin which basically removes the html pages and replaces with the new content.

You can simply run:

$ ninja -C built_docs/ upload

Contributing to the documentation

Commits that only change documentation should have [skip ci] in their commit message, so CI is not run (it is quite slow). For example:
