This patchset introduces changes to test-meson-builds.sh, check-abi.sh and adds a new script gen-abi-tarballs.sh. The changes to test-meson-builds.sh include UX improvements such as adding command line arguments and allowing the use of relative paths. Reduced the number of abi checks to just two, one for both x86_64 and ARM, the references for these tests can now be prebuilt and downloaded by test-meson-builds.sh, these changes will allow the tests to run much faster. check-abi.sh is updated to use the prebuilt references. gen-abi-tarballs.sh is a new script to generate the prebuilt abi references used by test-meson-builds.sh, these compressed archives can be retrieved from either a local directory or a remote http location.
