Since v3:
- Rebased
- Include fix for 23a77b2d18b ("build-system: clean up TCG/TCI configury")
- Use get_option() (Claudio)
- Use warning message suggested by Daniel
- Drop 'Reword --enable-tcg-interpreter as --disable-native-tcg' (Paolo)

Some new users get confused between 'TCG' and 'TCI' and enable
TCI when TCG is better for they needs. Try to clarify it is
better to not use TCI when native backend is available.

Note, before Meson, warnings were summarized at the end of
./configure. Now they are displayed earlier, and likely
missed IMHO. No clue how to improve that :/

Philippe Mathieu-Daudé (3):
  configure: Improve TCI feature description
  meson: Explicit TCG backend used
  meson: Warn when TCI is selected but TCG backend is available

Richard Henderson (1):
  configure: Fix --enable-tcg-interpreter

Queued, thanks.  In pattch 2 I made the corresponding changes at 
meson_options.txt too.
