    meson: rename included C source files to .c.inc · 139c1837
    Paolo Bonzini authored
    
    With Makefiles that have automatically generated dependencies, you
    generated includes are set as dependencies of the Makefile, so that they
    are built before everything else and they are available when first
    building the .c files.
    
    Alternatively you can use a fine-grained dependency, e.g.
    
            target/arm/translate.o: target/arm/decode-neon-shared.inc.c
    
    With Meson you have only one choice and it is a third option, namely
    "build at the beginning of the corresponding target"; the way you
    express it is to list the includes in the sources of that target.
    
    The problem is that Meson decides if something is a source vs. a
    generated include by looking at the extension: '.c', '.cc', '.m', '.C'
    are sources, while everything else is considered an include---including
    '.inc.c'.
    
    Use '.c.inc' to avoid this, as it is consistent with our other convention
    of using '.rst.inc' for included reStructuredText files.  The editorconfig
    file is adjusted.
