[PATCH] meson: Stop if cfi is enabled with system slirp

[Daniele Buono]

For CFI, we need to compile slirp as a static library together with qemu.
This is because we register slirp functions as callbacks for QEMU Timers.
When using a system-wide shared libslirp, the type information for the
callback is missing and the timer call produces a false positive with CFI.

With this patch, meson will stop if CFI is enabled with system-wide slirp
