interpreter: add feature.disable_auto_if()

Add a method to downgrade an option to disabled if it is not used.
This is useful to avoid unnecessary search for dependencies;
for example

    dep = dependency('dep', required: get_option('feature').disable_auto_if(not foo))

can be used instead of the more verbose and complex

    if get_option('feature').auto() and not foo then
      dep = dependency('', required: false)
    else
      dep = dependency('dep', required: get_option('feature'))
    endif

or to avoid unnecessary dependency searches:

  dep1 = dependency('dep1', required: get_option('foo'))
  # dep2 is only used together with dep1
  dep2 = dependency('dep2', required: get_option('foo').disable_auto_if(not dep1.found()))
 ```
