The python plugin use weak references for hooks, which might let a
necessary object disappear if the callback of a timer hook unhooks
itself.

Python sometime calls flush() on sys.stdout or sys.stderr.
In particular, it might do so when an exception is raised. This fixes
the second error message that was generated in such cases.

* Make sure `help()` doesn't cause hexchat to hang
Replace `pydoc.help` with a copy of `pydoc.Helper` with an empty
`StringIO` instead of stdin
* Handle BytesIO vs StringIO on 2.7
Quick rundown of benefits:
- Much faster:
- Autotools (with autogen): 22 seconds
- Meson: 7 seconds
- Meson (with ccache): 2 seconds
- Simpler:
- ~1000 lines smaller
- Single simple language
- Potentially better Windows (Visual Studio) support
What is not done:
- Complete Windows support
- OSX support (easy)
Closes#2013Closes#1937Closes#1803
When hexchat is already installed into a non-default prefix, a new build
could pick up ${prefix}/include/hexchat-plugin.h from the installed
version instead of the local header, as configuration variables such as
$(GLIB_CFLAGS) would point to -I${prefix}/include.
Reordering the includes and moving -I arguments to CPPFLAGS prevents
this, as it ensures the local directories are always searched first.
This was no problem when compiling for /usr or /usr/local as these
directories in the compiler search path are always searched last.
Closes#1822
- Output directly to rel\ instead of to bin\ and then copying files over.
- Deduped Win32 vs x64 configs
- Moved some common properties to hexchat.props
- All build intermediates (except htm's intermediates) are no longer emitted in the source directory
- Store openssl flags in own vars
- Share some common flags for plugins
- Fix building plugins on win32
- Store all glib flags in one var
- Don't link against every lib for each plugin
- Don't hardcode ldflags for sysinfo
