IBus was initially made optional as gnome-shell depended on too
recent API. This API is now old enough and gnome-shell is committing
further to IBus by implementing a ClutterInputMethod through it.
Let's just make IBus a mandatory dependency, instead of making code
paths trickier to cater for situations where it's missing.
gvc has made some recent changes that rename its user options
following meson guidelines for GNOME packages[0].
The options used in gvc as a subproject have been renamed
accordingly.

It turns out that NetworkManager does export the directory as pkg-config
variable after all, so use that instead of building the path ourselves
from the prefix.

Auto-detect options add some convenience for platforms where a
particular feature isn't available - systemd on non-Linux OS comes
to mind - but the downside is that it is easy to accidentally build
without a desired feature. We consider the latter much more serious
nowadays, so turn our auto-detect options into regular boolean
options.

Meson options are typed, so the prefix isn't necessary, and indeed
looks odd when used to disable the option:
-Denable_foo=false
Also replace underscores with dashes, which is the preferred meson
style.

Meson is on track to replace autotools as the build system of choice,
so support it in addition to autotools. If all goes well, we'll
eventually be able to drop the latter ...
