What is the status of this PR ? (there is a long chain of PR dependencies for vcpkg...)

@jpakkane Please have a look at this PR and merge if OK from your side.

Could you please explain a bit more what is happening here? What is the actual problem is. "Give control of option skip_sanity_check" is not very informative by itself.

@jpakkane: there are cases where the option is simply ignored by meson.

The previous code:

        if for_machine != MachineChoice.HOST:	
            return False	
        if not self.environment.is_cross_build():	
            return False

is returning an early false without even checking if the user provided the skip_sanity_check option.
As such if the user provided skip_sanity_check=true meson still runs the sanity check if one of the early returns fires. (Which is the case for arm crosscompiles on windows.)
