[Wish] Improve logging #7098

It would be nice to show source of errors similar to this one in the log:

~/Dev/meson/meson.py setup --cross-file arm_cortex_m3_cross.ini builddir
[...]
meson.build:1:0: ERROR: Unable to determine dynamic linker

A full log can be found at [...]/builddir/meson-logs/meson-log.txt

As I understand, inside of Meson compiler or an linker was called with some options, and it returned something. I would like to see this in a log file. It really will helpfull for debugging Meson build and cross files.

I've been thinking about this, and we should probably just reuse the code the compiler selector uses in the linker selector.
