Build systems have a common problem that some tests can only be done by
executing a piece of test code (compared to just compiling or linking test
code). In a cross-compilation the execution of this code isn't possible and the
Meson solution to this is to allow 'cross properties' to be specified in the
cross files.
GLib has a number of these, for example determining the direction the stack
grows, whether /proc/self/cmdline exists, or the behaviour of snprintf().
Previously we'd passed values for these to the Glib build for target builds, but
this misses out nativesdk builds (which are also cross-compiled) and the fact
that some of these values are specific to the platform, some are specific to the
host OS, and some are specific to the libc implementation.
This problem has already been solved for autotools with the siteinfo class,
which turns the target platform/OS/libc variables into filenames (such as common
common-linux common-glibc). We can look for these in FILESDIR and use them as
cross files.
Assuming that there are no problems with this appoach it can be moved into
meson.bbclass so that all Meson recipes can use it for their cross files.
