Allow override_find_program to use an executable.
With this it is now possible to do foobar = executable('foobar', ...) meson.override_find_program('foobar', foobar) Which is convenient for a project like protobuf which produces both a dependency and a tool. If protobuf is updated to use override_find_program, it can be used as protobuf_dep = dependency('protobuf', version : '>=3.3.1', fallback : ['protobuf', 'protobuf_dep']) protoc_prog = find_program('protoc')
