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

This replaces the absolute hack of using
```
install_subdir('nonexisting', install_dir: 'share')
```
which requires you to make sure you don't accidentally or deliberately
have a completely different directory with the same name in your source
tree that is full of files you don't want installed. It also avoids
splitting the name in two and listing them in the wrong order.
You can also set the install mode of each directory component by listing
them one at a time in order, and in fact create nested structures at
all.
Fixes #1604
Properly fixes #2904
