An external script is used to create symlinks for backward
compatibility on meson files.

When the files already exist, the script raises an exception. Since
the files already exists no new links are created.

Since meson's 0.50 release, `include_directories` accepts strings
that are replaced transparently[0].

This is more readable in some cases, so it has been replaced where
possible.

meson minimum version has also been bumped to 0.50.

Since 0.49.0, a dictionary could be used as a replacement for each
key/value pair as if `set` method was called for each of them[0].

Almost all of the `configuration_data` objects have been changed to
use a dictionary.

Functions derived from generators as `configure_file`,
`custom_target` and `i18n.merge_file` can use placeholders like
`@BASENAME@` that removes the extension from the input filename
string.

The output string has been replaced by this placeholder that
allows in some cases the use of less variables.

The package include dir path (aka `libgit2_glib_pkgincludedir`) has
replace by the use of the `includedir` option path and the expected
subdir path. This way the use of the include subdir is more clearly
related.

This reverts commit 8a1da431.

The commit removed some use of the `python` module to be able to
explicitly compile with `python3` in the post install script
because although meson was using `python` module properly the post
install script was calling `python` binary that might not point to
`python3` binary.

The commit has been reverted and proper solution has been applied by
passing the `python3` installation path used by meson to the post
install script.

The `python3-gobject-devel` has also been added as a requirement for
the CI step.

Since meson's 0.49 version the '/' character can be used as path
separator instead of the `join_paths` function[0].

Every use of the `join_paths` function has been replaced.

Introspection detection checks if the option is enabled and also
if the `g-ir-scanner` is avaialable in the system.

This check has been simplified by short circuiting the check.

meson's GNOME module provides a `mkenums_simple` method[0] that
eases the generation of enum sources. This avoids the use of the
standard template files in most of the cases.

This has been used to remove the need of the enum template files.

gi-docgen is a new tool that tries to avoid some of the issues of
gtk-doc and is also faster.

gtk-doc has been replaced by gi-docgen in CI.

Due to an issue with meson's `buildtype` and `b_ndebug` options[0],
the `b_ndebug` option was converted to a combo option.

This forced `libgit2-glib` to use a workaround that has ended being
the standard meson's behavior. The `b_ndebug` option has also gained
another option called `if-release`.

Due to this changes, the workaround comment has been removed and
proper fix has been used in place.

Replace the deprecated g_get_current_time with g_get_real_time. Adjust
the value calculation so it remains the same.

GParameter is likewise deprecated and provokes warnings.

g_object_ref passes through the type on GNUlike compilers. We need to
cast it before returning it.

Replace a redeclaration of cloner_class_init with the expected
declaration of cloner_get_type.

Avoid mixing variable declarations and code.

Replace the use of 'ln' with os.symlink. Since subprocess.call does not
raise any exception when the called process fails, this script likely
silently did nothing on Windows. Instead, fall back to using shutil.copy
to copy instead of symlinking.

The script gets the *absolute* datadir passed as its argument. This
means os.path.join will throw away the MESON_INSTALL_DESTDIR_PREFIX,
breaking the symlinking when DESTDIR is set.

Also handle the case where the datadir is not inside the prefix by
prepending the destdir ourselves. We make the datadir relative to the
root by stripping the drive letter (if any) and the initial separator.

We only have one argument, so it does nothing.

We're exiting anyway so it's unnecessary.
