With glib < 2.51.3, gdbus-codegen does not understand "--output-directory" [1].
Hence, the generated files are like
"build/dbus-org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.Device.WifiP2P.xml"
instead of
"build/introspection/dbus-org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.Device.WifiP2P.xml"
But gnome.gdbus_codegen() returns a path as if it would be inside
"build/introspection". Hack around that, by patching the correct path
otherwise. This is still ugly, because repeated "ninja -C build" calls
will always try to rebuild this target (because the wrong file name
is considered).

(cherry picked from commit ad9e5995e1)
We need to copy all introspection files to the same directory when
building the documentation.
Note that we only require Meson 0.44, but for the documentation at
least 0.46 is needed because of a new functionality of
gnome.gdbus_codegen(). In this way we can still build on Travis CI
(without documentation).
It's for 6LoWPAN devices. "o.fd.NM.Device.6Lowpan" wouldn't be a valid
interface name -- just skip the leading numeral, that's what kernel also
does on similiar occassions.
Some targets are missing dependencies on some generated sources in
the meson port. These makes the build to fail due to missing source
files on a highly parallelized build.
These dependencies have been resolved by taking advantage of meson's
internal dependencies which can be used to pass source files,
include directories, libraries and compiler flags.
One of such internal dependencies called `core_dep` was already in
use. However, in order to avoid any confusion with another new
internal dependency called `nm_core_dep`, which is used to include
directories and source files from the `libnm-core` directory, the
`core_dep` dependency has been renamed to `nm_dep`.
These changes have allowed minimizing the build details which are
inherited by using those dependencies. The parallelized build has
also been improved.
