Soname of the libraries should be the major version number, while the version
triplet is currently used:
objdump -p libmutter-4.so.0.0.0 | grep SONAME
SONAME libmutter-4.so.0.0.0
While is expected to be only libmutter-4.so.0
Fix all shared libraries by setting valid version and soversion.

Map files were using wrong syntax (missing final `;` or invalid chars).
Also, the map files were only monitored for rebuilding, but not really used by
ld, so pass the ldflags with version-script so that private symbols are really
hidden.

If a library is provided in the positional arguments, then meson
defaults to installing the .pc file in a 'pkgconfig' subdirectory
in the library's install location. We want the files in the regular
$libdir/pkgconfig rather than $libdir/mutter-$api/pkgconfig, so
specify the location explicitly in the parameters.

Dependencies are added automatically, and we no longer get warnings
like:
clutter/clutter/meson.build:628: DEPRECATION: Library mutter-clutter-4
was passed to the "libraries" keyword argument of a previous call to
generate() method instead of first positional argument. Adding
mutter-clutter-4 to "Requires" field, but this is a deprecated behaviour
that will change in a future version of Meson. Please report the issue
if this warning cannot be avoided in your case.
This makes the build less verbose, as all .gir generation except for
clutters didn't pass --quiet to g-ir-scanner, making it output long
linking commands. Do this by adding a common introspection_args
variable.
While at it, put -U_GNU_SOURCE in there too, as it was always passed
everywhere as without it the scanner would log warnings.
Meson uses the 'dependencies' field to determine and
parallelize build steps, but that isn't entirely true
with 'link_with'; this might cause a race condition
when generating header files while trying to build
them.
Fix that by only using 'dependencies' instead of 'link_with'.
This commit adds meson build support to mutter. It takes a step away
from the three separate code bases with three different autotools setups
into a single meson build system. There are still places that can be
unified better, for example by removing various "config.h" style files
from cogl and clutter, centralizing debug C flags and other configurable
macros, and similar artifacts that are there only because they were once
separate code bases.
There are some differences between the autotools setup and the new
meson. Here are a few:
The meson setup doesn't generate wrapper scripts for various cogl and
clutter test cases. What these tests did was more or less generate a
tiny script that called an executable with a test name as the argument.
To run particular tests, just run the test executable with the name of
the test as the argument.
The meson setup doesn't install test files anymore. The autotools test
suite was designed towards working with installed tests, but it didn't
really still, and now with meson, it doesn't install anything at all,
but instead makes sure that everything runs with the uninstalled input
files, binaries and libraries when running the test suite. Installable
tests may come later.
Tests from cogl, clutter and mutter are run on 'meson test'. In
autotools, only cogl and clutter tests were run on 'make check'.
