	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.

2022-02-09	meson: Allow directory options outside of prefix	Jan Tojnar
	This bring us in line with Autotools and CMake and it is useful for platforms like Nix, which install projects into multiple independent prefixes. As a consequence, `get_option` might return absolute paths for some directory options, if a directory outside of prefix is passed. This is technically a backwards incompatible change but its effect should be minimal, thanks to widespread use of `join_paths`/`/` operator and pkg-config generator module. It should only cause an issue when a path were constructed by concatenating the value of directory path option. Also remove a comment about commonpath since we do not use that since <https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/commit/00f5dadd5b7d71c30bd7393d165a87f554eb92e5>.
