We need to copy all introspection files to the same directory when
building the documentation.
Note that we only require Meson 0.44, but for the documentation at
least 0.46 is needed because of a new functionality of
gnome.gdbus_codegen(). In this way we can still build on Travis CI
(without documentation).
Adapt the meson post-installation script to handle the $DESTDIR
variable supplied by user to specify the installation target
directory. While at it, convert the script to shell because it seems
simpler to me.
After 1.14.0 is released, merge it back into master so that
1.14.0 is part of the history of master. That means,
$ git log --first-parent master
will also traverse 1.14.0 and 1.14-rc*.
Also bump the micro version to 1.15.1-dev to indicate that this is
after 1.14.0 is out.
Some path variable like $(bindir), $(datadir), etc. are special for
autotools and must be handled separately through config-extra.h.
But dhcp path variables are just normal variables defined through
the configure script and should go into config.h.

dhcpcd version 6, the first supporting IPv6, was released more than 5
years ago. Remove all checks on version number and IPv6 support.
(cherry picked from commit e0c49d7341)
Handle the iptables, dnsmasq and dnssec-trigger paths in the same way
through common code.
The path set by user must be accepted as is, even if does not exist,
because this is a requirement for cross-compilation. When user does
not specify a path, search a predefined set of paths and fall back to
an hardcoded one.

If the library is available, let's at least compile both
crypto backends.
That is helpful when developing on crypto backends, so that
one does not have to configure the build twice.
With autotools, the build is only run during `make check`.
Not for meson, but that is generally the case with our meson
setup, that it also builds tests during the regular build step.
suspend-resume must be selectable, out of for possible options.
We can do auto-detection based on present libraries, but it
shall be selectable. Like it is with autotools.
- always define the SESSION_TRACKING_* defines to replace
"#ifdef" with "#if".
- drop defining the consolekit database path CKDB_PATH in
config.h. The path was not customizable via configure/meson.
- fix meson build to enable consolekit support for session tracking
without also enabling logind/elogind session tracking.
logind/elogind is mutually exclusive, but consolekit session tracking
goes together just fine.
1) the command line gets shorter. I frequently run `make V=1` to see
the command line arguments for the compiler, and there is a lot
of noise.
2) define each of these variables at one place. This makes it easy
to verify that for all compilation units, a particular
define has the same value. Previously that was not obvious or
even not the case (see commit e5d1a71396
and commit d63cf1ef2f).
The point is to avoid redundancy.
3) not all compilation units need all defines. In fact, most modules
would only need a few of these defines. We aimed to pass the necessary
minium of defines to each compilation unit, but that was non-obvious
to get right and often we set a define that wasn't used. See for example
"src_settings_plugins_ibft_cppflags" which needlessly had "-DSYSCONFDIR".
This question is now entirely avoided by just defining all variables in
a header. We don't care to find the minimum, because every component
gets anyway all defines from the header.
4) this also avoids the situation, where a module that previously did
not use a particular define gets modified to require it. Previously,
that would have required to identify the missing define, and add
it to the CFLAGS of the complation unit. Since every compilation
now includes "config-extra.h", all defines are available everywhere.
5) the fact that each define is now available in all compilation units
could be perceived as a downside. But it isn't, because these defines
should have a unique name and one specific value. Defining the same
name with different values, or refer to the same value by different
names is a bug, not a desirable feature. Since these defines should
be unique accross the entire tree, there is no problem in providing
them to every compilation unit.
6) the reason why we generate "config-extra.h" this way, instead of using
AC_DEFINE() in configure.ac, is due to the particular handling of
autoconf for directory variables. See [1].
With meson, it would be trivial to put them into "config.h.meson".
While that is not easy with autoconf, the "config-extra.h" workaround
seems still preferable to me.
