interpreter: Rename has_exe_wrapper -> can_run_host_binaries
The implementation of this function has changed enough that the name doesn't really reflect what it actually does. It basically returns true unless you're cross compiling, need and exe_wrapper, and don't have one. The original function remains but is marked as deprecated. This makes one small change the meson source language, which is that it defines that can_run_host_binaries will return true in build == host compilation, which was the behavior that already existed. Previously this was undefined in build == host compilation.

compilation status.
```meson
-meson.is_cross_build() # returns true when cross compiling
-meson.has_exe_wrapper() # returns true if an exe wrapper has been defined
+meson.is_cross_build() # returns true when cross compiling
+meson.can_run_host_binaries() # returns true if the host binaries can be run, either with a wrapper or natively
```
-Note that the latter gives undefined return value when doing a native
-build.

You can run system checks on both the system compiler or the cross
compiler. You just have to specify which one to use.
