Previous checks did nothing, because cc.has_argument only does compilation,
without any linking. Unfortunately cc.links() cannot be used, because it does
not accept any options. Providing the test file as a static source is easiest,
even if not every elegant.

Shell scripts should be executable so that meson reports their
invocation succinctly (does not print 'sh' '-e').
Python scripts should not be executable so that meson does the
detection of the right python binary itself.
Add -u everywhere to catch potential errors.
This is more-or-less the same as dist-check-includes. meson doesn't exactly
make it easy to call a compiler with a custom set of options. The tests
are included in the test listing.
