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.
