Re: [libvirt PATCH] meson: Use dicts to initialize cfg_data objects

Instead of creating an empty object and then setting keys one at a time, it is possible to pass a dict object to configuration_data(). This is nicer because it doesn't require repeating the name of the cfg_data object over and over. There is one exception: the 'conf' object, where we store values that are used directly by C code. In that case, using a dict object is not feasible for two reasons: first of all, replacing the set_quoted() calls would result in awkward code with a lot of calls to format(); moreover, since code that modifies it is sprinkled all over the place, refactoring it would probably make things more complicated rather than simpler.
