Merge remote-tracking branch 'upstream/stable' into merge_stable

Add dub-as-a-lib test case for different CWD

Implement --color=auto|always|never, fix #2410 (#2552) ...

* Implement --color=auto|always|never, fix #2410

Also improves error message output for unsupported --color values.

* fix compile error with certain D versions

tests: Correct recurse in issue1408-inherit-linker-files ...

Otherwise it uses the system's dub which might give unpredictable results.

Use a central build cache for all build artifacts ...

Currently the central build cache is not configurable,
but as most build artifacts end up in `~/.dub/packages/` anyway,
this will be a positive change for users.

Add test for add-path based package selection.

Fix #2450 - issue1474 testcase is broken on Windows

Posix: Add default SONAME/install_name for dynamic libraries ...

Setting it to the filename (ELF) or `@rpath/<file name>` (Mach-O).

This seems to be required in order to use the libraries copied to
the output directory of dependees - either by setting the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH env var when starting the executable, or baking a
RUNPATH into the executable (e.g., via `patchelf --set-rpath` for
deployment).

Otherwise the loader tries to load the library from the original
location specified in the linking cmdline, which is some
`<path to dep pkg>/.dub/…` path (and apparently potentially
relative, and thus even more brittle). For ELF, I would assume
that all SONAME + DT_NEEDED entries (of executable + all .so libs)
would need to be post-processed to enable loading the libs from the
executable's directory (well, any non-original location).

CI: Update versions of dub for fetch test ...

Those versions are old and broken with the latest compiler,
hence dub run will fail. Use the three most recent versions
(at the time of writing) to solve this issue.

add $DPATH environment variable for file locations (#2281) ...

* error out on unknown environment variables

* add env + config for package + settings locations

fix #229

* adjust to review, extend $DPATH test

* review round 2

Forward flag `--color={on,off}` to compiler calls (#2382) ...

When the user sets the color mode explicitly,
we forward it to the compiler for consistency,
while making sure it doesn't impact the build cache ID.

Fix #2348 Crash when describing postBuildCommands

LDC: Use `-fvisibility=public -dllimport=all` when compiling a Windows DLL (#2412) ...

As `-shared` can only be used when linking the DLL in the same cmdline too.
On Windows, `-shared` changes the defaults of some important settings wrt.
dllim/export, so specify those explicitly when *compiling* a DLL with dub
(or some static lib dependency thereof etc.).

git ignore files generated by scripts/ci/travis.sh and move ignores from .gitignore to test/.gitignore

Rename CLI flag --colors to --color any D code symbols accordingly

improve some output coloring ...

See #2347

Remove a few usages of old version-spec approach from test-suite

Also add options when we combine buildsettings (#2363) ...

* Also add options when we combine buildsettings

* include all the buildsettings in add(bs)

Don't require PERL regex in unittest.

Fix/Update some tests and make some info messages more similar to original version of Dub

Fixed stuff that shouldn't have been committed ...

(the .gitignore should be updated for people that runs tests locally...)
