Add static code analysis/coverage

[Delta-VII]

Describe the task

Hi, I would suggest to include static code analysis with tools like SonarQube in addition to the existing CI/CD infrastructure of the Freedesktop Gitlab.

It should be done because

This could help to ensure code quality.

a good start would be some scripts that can be easily run locally.

You can't get SonarQube results locally (just saying, doesn't mean we don't want it). You can for other tools like e.g. clang-tidy, which is quite easy to do actually (and which I tried already) since meson has built-in support for it.

Feel free to submit some PRs for that.
More checks wont hurt - as long as we keep in mind there might be lots of false alarms

What are the options for tooling? Ideally open source, and integrates with CI/CD. GitHub Actions supports Codecov, but that is specifically for unit testing/ code coverage. Is there something similar for static code analysis?
