When trying to get the version of a program, meson was previously hardcoded to run the binary with `--version`. This does work with the vast majority of programs, but there are a few outliers (e.g. ffmpeg) which have an unusual argument for printing out the version. Support these programs by introducing a version_argument kwarg in find_program which allows users to override `--version` with whatever the custom argument for printing the version may be for the program. |

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.
Our custom hotdoc extensions require:
Building the documentation
From the Meson repository root dir:
$ cd docs/
$ meson setup built_docs/
$ ninja -C built_docs/
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
