Module sourcesets:
There are two dictionaries for modules: `modules` is used for
target-independent modules and `target_modules` is used for
target-dependent modules. When modules are disabled the `module`
source sets are added to `softmmu_ss` and the `target_modules`
source sets are added to `specific_ss`.
Both dictionaries are nested. One dictionary is created per
subdirectory, and these per-subdirectory dictionaries are added to
the toplevel dictionaries. For example::
hw_display_modules = {}
qxl_ss = ss.source_set()
...
hw_display_modules += { 'qxl': qxl_ss }
modules += { 'hw-display': hw_display_modules }
