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.

On Mac --enable-modules and --enable-plugins are currently incompatible, because the
Apple -Wl,-exported_symbols_list command line options prevents the export of any
symbols needed by the modules. On x86 -Wl,--dynamic-list does not have this effect,
but only because the -Wl,--export-dynamic option provided by gmodule-2.0.pc overrides
it. On Apple there is no -Wl,--export-dynamic, because it is the default, and thus
no override.
Either way, when modules are active there is no reason to include the plugin_ldflags.
While at it, avoid the useless -Wl,--export-dynamic when --enable-plugins is
specified but --enable-modules is not; this way, the GNU and Apple configurations
are more similar.

By default, -fsanitize=fuzzer instruments all code with coverage
information. However, this means that libfuzzer will track coverage over
hundreds of source files that are unrelated to virtual-devices. This
means that libfuzzer will optimize inputs for coverage observed in timer
code, memory APIs etc. This slows down the fuzzer and stores many inputs
that are not relevant to the actual virtual-devices.
With this change, clang versions that support the
"-fsanitize-coverage-allowlist" will only instrument a subset of the
compiled code, that is directly related to virtual-devices.

Currently, the block driver whitelists are only applied for the system
emulator. All other binaries still give unrestricted access to all block
drivers. There are use cases where this made sense because the main
concern was avoiding customers running VMs on less optimised block
drivers and getting bad performance. Allowing the same image format e.g.
as a target for 'qemu-img convert' is not a problem then.
However, if the concern is the supportability of the driver in general,
either in full or when used read-write, not applying the list driver
whitelist in tools doesn't help - especially since qemu-nbd and
qemu-storage-daemon now give access to more or less the same operations
in block drivers as running a system emulator.
In order to address this, introduce a new configure option that enforces
the driver whitelist in all binaries.

If a user is trying to compile QEMU with link-time optimization
enabled by running the configure script like this:
.../configure --extra-cflags="-flto"
then the endianess test is failing since the magic values do not
show up in the intermediate object files there. If the host is
a big endian machine (like s390x), the QEMU binary is then unusable
since the corresponding variable "bigendian" is pre-initialized
with "no".
To fix this issue, we should rather create a full binary and look
for the magic strings there instead.
And we really should not continue the build if the endianess check
failed, to make it clear right from the start that something went
wrong here, thus let's also add some "exit 1" statements here
after emitting the error message.

Aside from a minor bloat to file size the ability to have TCG plugins
has no real impact on performance unless a plugin is actively loaded.
Even then the libempty.so plugin shows only a minor degradation in
performance caused by the extra book keeping the TCG has to do to keep
track of instructions. As it's a useful feature lets just enable it by
default and reduce our testing matrix a little.
We need to move our linker testing earlier so we can be sure we can
