Paolo Bonzini 9684d6b922 override_find_program: allow overriding multiple times with the same executable
override_find_program collapses `native: true` to `native: false` when
not cross compiling.  When wishing to add an override for both machines,
for example because a program has machine-independent output, this
causes the same (name, machine) pair to be overridden twice.  As a
special exception allow repeated override_find_program when the
executable is the same.

Add documentation about how to call override_find_program properly
for such a program.

Meson Documentation

Build dependencies

Meson uses itself and hotdoc for generating documentation.

Minimum required version of hotdoc is 0.8.9.

Instructions on how to install hotdoc are here.

Our custom hotdoc extensions require:

Building the documentation

From the Meson repository root dir:

$ cd docs/
$ meson setup built_docs/
$ ninja -C built_docs/

Now you should be able to open the documentation locally

built_docs/Meson documentation-doc/html/index.html

Upload

Meson uses the git-upload hotdoc plugin which basically removes the html pages and replaces with the new content.

You can simply run:

$ ninja -C built_docs/ upload
