The arguments in MESONINTROSPECT are quoted with shlex.quote() so it
must be parsed with shlex.split(). Otherwise the script will fail if
the build directory has a character like "~" in it.
Note: this fix cannot be backported directly to any stable branch
that doesn't require Meson version 1.4.0 or better; otherwise it will
work OK on Linux but will break on Windows hosts.
(Unfortunately, Meson prior to version 1.4.0 was inconsistent between
host OSes about how it quoted arguments, and used a different quoting
process on Windows hosts. Our current git trunk already requires
1.5.0 as of commit 07f0d32641 ("Require meson version 1.5.0"), but
the stable branches are still on older Meson.)

By default, Windows doesn't allow to create soft links for user account
and only administrator is allowed to do this. To fix this problem you have
to raise your permissions or enable Developer Mode, which available since
Windows 10. Additional explanation when build fails will allow developer
to fix the problem on his computer faster.

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.

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.
