As we are becoming more popular, the docs have to be clearer because
we're being exposed to a wider base of users with highly variable
English language ability. Some of those can be helped with
translations, but for the rest, let's repeat ourselves.
Fixes https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/14843

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.

This permits users who rely on following symlinks to stay on the old
default of following them.

This fixes two issues in constructing the default installation path
when install_dir is not specified:
- inside a subproject, install_data() would construct the destination
path using the parent project name instead than the current project
name,
- when specifying preserve_path, install_data() would construct the
destination path omitting the project name.
Fixes #11910.

We silently dropped all integer values to install_mode since the
original implementation of doing this in KwargInfo, in commit
596c8d4af50d0e5a25ee0ee1e177e46b6c7ad22e.
This happened because install_mode is supposed to convert False
(exactly) to None, and otherwise pass all arguments in place. But a
generator is homogeneous and attempting to do this correctly produced a
mypy error that FileMode arguments were allowed to be ints -- well of
course they are -- so that resulted in the convertor... treating ints
like False instead, to make mypy happy.
Fixes #11538

Primarily interesting to me because it is then available for the python
module's install_sources method.
Based on the new feature in install_headers.
