6647b6edea meson: accept relative symlinks in "meson introspect --installed" data
When installing shared libraries, as is the case for libvfio-user.so,
Meson will include relative symbolic links in the output of
"meson introspect --installed":

  {
    "libvfio-user.so": "/usr/local/lib64/libvfio-user.so",
    ...
  }

In the case of scripts/symlink-install-tree.py, this will
be a symbolic link to a symbolic link but, in any case, there is
no issue in creating it.

cf60ccc330 cutils: Introduce bundle mechanism
Developers often run QEMU without installing. The bundle mechanism
allows to look up files which should be present in installation even in
such a situation.

It is a general mechanism and can find any files in the installation
tree. The build tree will have a new directory, qemu-bundle, to
represent what files the installation tree would have for reference by
the executables.

Note that it abandons compatibility with Windows older than 8. The
extended support for the prior version, 7 ended more than 2 years ago,
and it is unlikely that someone would like to run the latest QEMU on
such an old system.
