Silva Alejandro Ismael 9eb974aaaf build: Fix hint to disable remoting
If a dependency is missing, the error message should tell the build option to disable it.

Show the correct build option in the error message of the remoting plugin.

Pekka Paalanen 292aaf9308 meson: link remoting with glib and gobject
remoting-plugin.c calls things like g_error_free() and g_object_set(), so it
needs to link glib-2.0 and gobject-2.0 explicitly, instead of relying on
GStreamer pkg-config bringing them in.

Daniel Stone 8011b0fa03 Add Meson build system
Meson is a build system, currently implemented in Python, with multiple
output backends, including Ninja and Make. The build file syntax is
clean and easy to read unlike autotools. In practise, configuring and
building with Meson and Ninja has been observed to be much faster than
with autotools. Also cross-building support is excellent.

More information at http://mesonbuild.com

Since moving to Meson requires some changes from users in any case, we
took this opportunity to revamp build options. Most of the build options
still exist, some have changed names or more, and a few have been
dropped. The option to choose the Cairo flavour is not implemented since
for the longest time the Cairo image backend has been the only
recommended one.

This Meson build should be fully functional and it installs everything
an all-enabled autotools build does. Installed pkg-config files have
some minor differences that should be insignificant. Building of some
developer documentation that was never installed with autotools is
missing.

It is expected that the autotools build system will be removed soon
after the next Weston release.
