Merge wraps from subprojects into wraps from main project
wraps from subprojects are now merged into the list of wraps from main project, so they can be used to download dependencies of dependencies instead of having to promote wraps manually. If multiple projects provides the same wrap file, the first one to be configured wins. This also fix usage of sub-subproject that don't have wrap files. We can now configure B when its source tree is at `subprojects/A/subprojects/B/`. This has the implication that we cannot assume that subproject "foo" is at `self.subproject_dir / 'foo'` any more.

-## Promoting dependencies
-
-Meson will only search for subprojects from the top level
-`subprojects` directory. If you have subprojects that themselves have
-subprojects, you must transfer them to the top level. This can be done
-by going to your source root and issuing a promotion command.
-
- meson wrap promote projname
-
-This will cause Meson to go through your entire project tree, find an
-embedded subproject and copy it to the top level.
-
-If there are multiple embedded copies of a subproject, Meson will not
-try to guess which one you want. Instead it will print all the
-possibilities. You can then manually select which one to promote by
-writing it out fully.
-
- meson wrap promote subprojects/s1/subprojects/projname
-
-This functionality was added in Meson release 0.45.0.
