When arrays were added they were called arrays. Because the are
implemented with Python lists, that language started leaking into
talking about Meson types. This is confusing. I've attempted, as much as
possible, to move to using one name, array. I picked array because 1)
It's the original name used, and 2) what Meson has are more properly
arrays as they have a fixed length, while a critical property of lists
are the ability to link and unlink them.
There are a couple of places where the list language has leaked into the
names of keyword arguments. I have not made any attempt to change those,
I don't know if it's that useful or not.

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.

They accept list as documented

This override transparently upgrades anyone using it to this better
functionality.
Fixes #8511

This was implemented in commit 280346da3ac5904ec097afe89ef45ad34bd4a173
but never properly documented (it predated the version-controlled docs).

This was the case since 067ff7eeae26eda8edc9f7f7432f551c3e373eaa, i.e.
version 0.50.0. Fixes #3856
