[Bug 1371915] Re: Make Uninstall Rule Requested

This change is almost sufficient:

It makes "make uninstall" uninstall things; however it doesn't uninstall
the various LC_MESSAGES files that meson installs, because those are
installed by a "custom install script" that's part of the meson i18n
module, and meson's uninstall functionality doesn't uninstall things
installed that way. So it's a bit half-baked :-/

Title:
  Make Uninstall Rule Requested

Status in QEMU:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Environment: Ubuntu 14.04 - Qemu 2.1.1
  ------------------
  I've configured qemu with some --prefix, compiled the sources and installed 
the binaries; now, for some reason, I need to uninstall qemu to configure it 
with the default prefix, recompile the sources and reinstall the binaries.
  However, there's no rule to uninstall qemu.

  All other packages which I have compiled and installed on my system
  offer the possibility to uninstall it: why not Qemu?
