This commit adds a closing backtick to the mention of
`configure_file()`, that way it shows up correctly as
preformatted

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.

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.

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

The `install_headers` function now has an optional argument
`preserve_path` that allows installing multi-directory
headerfile structures that live alongside sourcecode with a
single command.
For example, the headerfile structure
headers = [
'one.h',
'two.h',
'alpha/one.h',
'alpha/two.h',
'alpha/three.h'
'beta/one.h'
]
can now be passed to `install_headers(headers, subdir: 'mylib', preserve_path: true)`
and the resulting directory tree will look like
{prefix}
└── include
└── mylib
├── alpha
│ ├── one.h
│ ├── two.h
│ └── three.h
├── beta
│ └── one.h
├── one.h
└── two.h
Fixes #3371

It makes no sense to specify both:
- install_dir, which overrides the -Dincludedir= builtin option
- subdir, which suffixes the -Dincludedir= builtin option
We've always silently ignored the subdir in this case, which is really
surprising if someone actually passed it and expected it to do
something. We also confusingly didn't say anything in the documentation
about it.
Document that the options are incompatible, and explicitly check to see
if they are both passed -- if so, raise an error message pointing out
that only install_dir should be used.
Fixes #10046
