This was a nice idea in theory, but in practice it had various problems:
- On the only platform where ldconfig is expected to be run, it is
really slow, even when the user uses a non-default prefix and ldconfig
doesn't even have permission to run, nor can do anything useful due to
ld.so.conf state
- On FreeBSD, it bricked the system: #9592
- On cross builds, it should not be used and broke installing, because
ldconfig may not be runnable without binfmt + qemu: #9707
- it prints weird and confusing errors in the common "custom prefix"
layout: #9241
Some of these problems can be or have been fixed. But it's a constant
source of footguns and complaints and for something that was originally
supposed to be just "it's the right thing to do anyway, so just do it
automatically" it is entirely too risky.
Ultimately I do not think there is justification for keeping this
feature in since it doesn't actually make everyone happy. Better for
users to decide whether they need this themselves.
This is anyways the case for cmake and autotools and generally any other
build system, so it should not be too intimidating...
Fixes #9721

Fix link, change wording

Add a new keyword argument to test() and benchmark(), completing the
implementation of the feature.

retain is a relatively young attribute which has proven itself useful
for working with --gc-sections -z start-stop-gc.

For whatever reason, the original PR was merged without documentation.

I thought it would good to specify a general rule here so people can set
their line wrapping appropriately.

This adds a link
https://mesonbuild.com/Builtin-options.html#specifying-options-per-subproject
in two different places and provides an example for changing the default
options.
This info is partially based on a [recent
discussion](https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/discussions/9830)
between me and @eli-schwartz

It was not added in 0.61.0 as that was already released.

i18n: Add support for joining XML localization via itstool

It used to support:
- a single string
- an array of anything
And as long as CustomTarget supported it too, everything worked fine.
So, a `files('foo')` worked but a `files('foo')[0]` did not, which is
silly... and it's not exactly terrible to use files() here, the input is
literally a list of source files.

The mesa website is a bit more helpful as an introduction to the project than the gitlab-project. So it seems better to link there instead.

Comment out the pending deprecation notice. It cannot be reached
anymore, but is still useful for the next time we do a version bump.

It is unmaintained, broken (frequently for long periods of time) and not
really required for any meson functionality. Its purpose is to be used
as a one-shot tool for creating a distro package recipe, and then
deleted from your meson.build files.
Due to its fragile dependency on coredata implementation details, we
cannot assume it will reliably work, or continue to work, without
someone who is actively willing to take responsibility for it.
Even if that were to happen, this might be better off as an external
script that parses introspection data.
Closes #9764

Armclang support

This is another toolchain also called `armclang`, but it is not a cross
compiler like Keil's `armclang`. It is essentially the same as `clang`
based on its interface and CMake's support of the toolchain.
Use an `armltd` prefix for the compiler ID.

Add ability to mutate a target's `extra_files` list through the
rewriter.
The logic is copied from sources add/rm, but changes the `extra_files`
kwarg instead of the sources positional argument.
Has additional logic to handle creating the `extra_files` list if it
doesn't exist.

There are thee arguments that are passed directly to CustomTarget which
are not in the permittedKwargs: depends, depend_files, and build_always.
The first two are obviously generically useful, as they allow creating
correct ordering. The latter, not so much. Since it was an error to pass
it, we'll just delete it.

*_typelib
generate_gir forces building both the typelib and gir, and some people
only want one or the other (probably only the typelib?) which means
flagging the other as install_dir: false in the same way custom_target
supports.
As this always worked, albeit undocumented, make sure it keeps working.
It's pretty reasonable to allow, anyway.

compile_moc accepts "dependencies" for the same reason preprocess does,
but the original documentation never copied this over from the
preprocess docs.

If you use it, we emit a warning telling you to use LINGUAS instead. So
we should warn people in the documentation as well.

Allows installing symlinks directly from meson, which can
become useful in multiple scenarios. Current main use is to

Add typed_kwargs to some of the gnome module functions

The same method that the BSDs use should also work for android. Also
update the tests and docs where appropriate.

This seems to come up fairly often, so having an FAQ entry seems useful.
