update CHANGES for binary_c_help

update yvt and template for talks tomorrow

call the initialization function if stardata->model.model_number == 0

updates for apitest to use the latest code

fixed Meson's handling of libdirs so binary_c-config works

cleaned up some unused logging options

sync perl mods

add script to do the above

reduced required subdir-link-time dependencies to speed things up and greatly reduce the size of build files

fix issue where the linker line in meson was too long : now we build each src subdir into its own static library then link all the static libraries. This should not hit the command-line length limit.

add some more meson helper scripts

clean more scripts with shellcheck
