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.

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.
This is the last remaining feature necessary to achieve
parity with the Autotools build.
A few changes were made to the install locations of the
tests, in order to better acomodate them in Meson:
* Tests are now installed under a versioned folder (e.g.
/usr/share/installed-tests/mutter-4)
* The mutter-cogl.test file is now generated from an .in
file, instead of a series of $(echo)s from within Makefile.
Notice that those tests need very controlled environments
to run correctly. Mutter installed tests, for example, will
failed when running under a regular session due to D-Bus
failing to acquire the ScreenCast and/or RemoteScreen names.
It cuts out some of the GObject boilerplate, and gives us g_autoptr()
support for free.
Since this changes the ABI, we also need to bump the libmutter API
version.
gudev and libudev might have different versions, and
since 361bf847 we require gudev >= 232 to be able to
use g_autoptr with gudev types.
Since the previous commit, however, the meson build
was using the same version for libudev and gudev.
Fix that by requiring different versions for gudev
(>= 232) and libudev (>= 228).
Continuous' latest udev version is 228, and that is
not going to change too soon. Since we do not depend
on udev 232 specific features or bugfixes, just lower
the minimum version and make Continouos happy.
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'.
