Namely: no, yes, and yes and ask at startup.
The install_check option is thus replaced by the can_install option. -Dinstall_check=true maps to -Dcan_install=yes_check, while -Dinstall_check=false maps to -Dcan_install=yes. -Dcan_install=no is new and is recommended for downstream packaging, where -Dinstall_check=false was historically used.
Also improve error messages about bad configuration here and there and scatter configuration code in subdirectories, where they can be closer to their areas of effect.
More precisely, refactor the code responsible for routing these GameController events to the Lua side. The issue with the previous solution was it relied on preprocessor macros to switch between Lua-ful and Lua-less builds.
Also Disallow linking against non-C++ system Lua, unless configuring with -Dworkaround_noncpp_lua=true, add -Dworkaround_elusive_bzip2 and friends, and get rid of the -image_base hack for macos.
Also restructure meson.build and the ghactions workflow a bit, and enable -ffunction-sections and -fdata-sections.
Note that starcatcher uploads have not been tested and most likely don't work.
