alias_target()

This function creates a new top-level target. Like all top-level targets, this integrates with the selected backend. For instance, with you can run it as meson compile target_name. This is a dummy target that does not execute any command, but ensures that all dependencies are built. Dependencies can be any build target. Since 0.60.0, this includes run_tgt.

Since 1.6.0 passing a both_libs object builds both shared and static libraries.
