Re: [PATCH v2 4/4] makefile/meson: add 'headers-check' as alias for 'hdr-check'

> The 'hdr-check' target in meson and makefile is used to check if headers
> can be compiled individually. The naming however isn't readable as 'hdr'
> is not a common shortforme for 'header', neither is it an abbreviation.

> Let's introduce 'headers-check' as an alternative target for 'hdr-check'

> is an internal tool, we can use a shorter deprecation cycle.

> Change existing usage of 'hdr-check' in 'ci/run-static-analysis.sh' to
> also use 'headers-check'.
