[PATCH v4 0/5] meson: add corresponding target for Makefile's hdr-check

To bridge the remaining gaps between Makefile and Meson, this patch series adds 'hdr-check' to Meson to compliment the Makefile's 'hdr-check'.

We also introduce 'headers-check' as an alias to 'hdr-check' as a better named replacement in both Meson and make and add a note to deprecate 'hdr-check' in the future.

The first two commits are small cleanups, where we re-organize existing variables to make it easier to add the target. The third commit adds the 'hdr-check' target to Meson. The last commit introduces the 'headers-check' alias to both Meson and the makefile and marks 'hdr-check' to be deprecated.

This is based on master 9d22ac5122 (The third batch, 2025-04-07) with 'es/meson-build-skip-coccinelle' merged in.

Changes in v4:
- Rename headers to headers_to_check, since these headers are only used
  for static analysis.
- Added a commit to rename third_party_sources -> third_party_excludes
  and remove a duplicate.
- Fix a typo 'gcrpyt' -> 'gcrypt'
- Remove 'generated_headers', since we use 'git ls-files' and that would
  already ignore files within '.gitignore'.
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250414-505-wire-up-sparse-via-meson-v3-0-edc6e7f26745@gmail.com

Changes in v3:
- Some renames:
  - headers_generated -> generated_headers
  - meson -> Meson
  - headers-check -> check-headers
  - headers_check_exclude -> exclude_from_check_headers
- Rewrite 'headers_check_exclude' to also contain dirs so we can skip
  listing individual header files.
- Move 'xdiff/*' to 'third_party_sources' and cleanup
  'exclude_from_check_headers'.
- Use 'echo' instead of 'echo -n'.
- Use `fs.replace_suffix` instead of `str.replace`.
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250410-505-wire-up-sparse-via-meson-v2-0-acb45cc8a2e5@gmail.com

Changes in v2:
- Add 'hdr-check' to meson, while introducing 'headers-check' as
  a replacement alias. Schedule 'hdr-check' to be deprecated in the future.
