Meson's "static" argument to cc.find_library is a tri-state. By default
Meson *prefers* a shared library, which basically means using -l to
look for it; instead, "static: false" *requires* a shared library. Of
course, "static: true" requires a static library, which is all good
for --enable-static builds.
For --disable-static, "static: false" is rarely desirable; it does not
match what the configure script used to do and the test is more complex
(and harder to debug if it fails, which was reported by Peter Lieven
for librbd).

Now that the build is done entirely by Meson, there is no need
to keep the Makefile conversion. Instead, we can ask Ninja about
the targets it exposes and forward them.
The main advantages are, from smallest to largest:
- reducing the possible namespace pollution within the Makefile
- removal of a relatively large Python program
- faster build because parsing Makefile.ninja is slower than
parsing build.ninja; and faster build after Meson runs because
we do not have to generate Makefile.ninja.
- tracking of command lines, which provides more accurate rebuilds
In addition the change removes the requirement for GNU make 3.82, which
was annoying on Mac, and avoids bugs on Windows due to ninjatool not
knowing how to convert Windows escapes to POSIX escapes.

Build all executables by default except for the known-broken ones.
This also allows running qemu-iotests without manually building
socket_scm_helper.

Most of the Makefile bits are obsolete and can be removed.

We do not need to ask cmake for the dependencies, so just use the
pkg-config mechanism. Keep "auto" for SDL so that it tries using
sdl-config too.
The documentation is adjusted to use SDL2_image as the example,
rather than SDL which does not use the "pkg-config" method.
