This commit changes how we detect and install meson. It notably removes
'--meson='.
The previous patch creates a lightweight Python virtual environment
unconditionally using the user's configured $python that inherits system
packages. If Meson is installed there and meets our minimum version
requirements, we will use that Meson.
In the event that Meson is installed but *not for the chosen Python
interpreter*, not found, or of insufficient version, we will attempt to
install Meson from vendored source into the newly created Python virtual
environment. This vendored installation is considered to replace the
mechanism from prior tarball distributions.
This commit restores the ability to use a system meson, but in turn
temporarily removes the ability to use a meson as obtained from the
internet at configure-time (git submodules, as it stood prior to this
patch); that ability will be restored in the next commit.
As a result of this patch, the Python interpreter we use for both our
own build scripts *and* Meson extensions are always known to be the
exact same Python. As a further benefit, there will also be a symlink
available in the build directory that points to the correct, configured
python and can be used by e.g. manual tests to invoke the correct,
configured Python unambiguously.
