The library directory can change depending on the multilib setup of the host.
It would be even better to detect it in configure with the same algorithm
that Meson uses, but the important thing to avoid confusing developers is
to have identical contents of scripts/meson-buildoptions.sh, independent
of the distro and architecture on which it was created.
So, for now just give a custom default value to libdir.

If an option is not used anywhere by the configure script, it can be just
added to $meson_options even if it is not parsed by the automatically
generated bits in scripts/meson-buildoptions.sh.
The only slightly tricky case is $debug, where the
if test "$fortify_source" = "yes" ; then
QEMU_CFLAGS="-U_FORTIFY_SOURCE -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 $QEMU_CFLAGS"
debug=no
fi
assignment is dead; configure sets fortify_source=no whenever debug=yes.

While prefix, bindir and qemu_suffix needs special treatment due to
differences between Windows and POSIX systems, everything else
needs no extra code in configure.

Allow using the buildoptions.json file for more options, namely anything
that is not a boolean or multiple-choice.
The mapping between configure and meson is messy for string options,
so allow configure to use to something other than the name in
meson_options.txt. This will come in handy anyway for builtin
Meson options such as b_lto or b_coverage.

Always include the STRIP variable in config-host.mak (it's only used
by the s390-ccw firmware build, and it adds a default if configure
omitted it), and use meson-buildoptions.sh to turn
--enable/--disable-strip into -Dstrip.
The default is now not to strip the binaries like for almost every other
package that has a configure script.

This gains some bugfixes, especially:
- it fixes the introspection of array options. While technically we
still support Meson 0.58.2, this issue only appears when adding a new
option and not if the user is just building QEMU. In the relatively
rare case of a contributor using --meson to point to a 0.58 version,
review can catch spurious changes to scripts/meson-buildoptions.sh
easily.
- it fixes "meson test" when it is not the process group leader. Make is
the process group leader when "make check" invokes "meson test", so this
is a requirement for using it as a test harness.

Right now meson_options.txt lists about 90 options. Each option
needs code in configure to parse it and pass the option down to Meson as
a -D command-line argument; in addition the default must be duplicated
between configure and meson_options.txt. This series tries to remove
the code duplication by generating the case statement for those --enable
and --disable options, as well as the corresponding help text.
About 80% of the options can be handled completely by the new mechanism.
Eight meson options are not of the --enable/--disable kind. Six more need
to be parsed in configure for various reasons documented in the patch,
but they still have their help automatically generated.
The advantages are:
- less code in configure
- parsing and help is more consistent (for example --enable-blobs was
not supported)
- options are described entirely in one place, meson_options.txt.
This make it more attractive to use Meson options instead of
hand-crafted configure options and config-host.mak
A few options change name: --enable-tcmalloc and --enable-jemalloc
become --enable-malloc={tcmalloc,jemalloc}; --disable-blobs becomes
--disable-install-blobs; --enable-trace-backend becomes
--enable-trace-backends. However, the old names are allowed
for backwards compatibility.

Prepare the configure script and Makefile for automatically generated
help and parsing.
Because we need to run the script to generate the full help, we
cannot rely on the user supplying the path to a Python interpreter
with --python; therefore, the introspection output is parsed into
shell functions and stored in scripts/. The converter is written
in Python as standard for QEMU, and this commit contains a stub.
