The switch to the meson build system broke plugins on macOS. GNU libtool
builds shared libraries with ".dylib" and shared modules (plugins) with
the extension ".so", but meson is using ".dylib" for both.
Although overriding the name_suffix for shared_module() in meson is
possible, this would be messy for other platforms as there is no way to
query the default. Therefore it seems like we have to go with ".dylib"
for now on macOS.
However, G_MODULE_SUFFIX is defined to ".so", because glib follows what
GNU libtool does. Therefore define a separate preprocessor macro that
has the correct extension.

It is an odd binding that conflicts with typical behavior
where shift click selects multiple items and there is
already the middle click shortcut to close tabs quickly.
Closes#918
RDNS syntax is recommended for applications and this matches the
existing flatpak. Note that the dbus service and icons still need
renaming though the former is an API breakage.
Closes#2104Closes#2103
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
- Combine the three properties into a single one
- Finally fully fix the handling with plugins handling events
TODO: Look into lastact handling of these, seems wrong

So how the colors work should be pretty straight forward:
- A message comes in and is handled, this sets the state flags:
nick_said, msg_said, new_data. These map to tab colors.
- This state is reset under one of these conditions:
- It is commited to the UI when actually printed on unfocused tab
- Event is interupted by a plugin hook
- The tab focus is changed
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
It just duplicates functionality and this fixes:
- alert_taskbar chanopt not being respected
- tab color being incorrect when highlight print events are eaten
