Let's try to get the meson port complete so we can drop autotools next cycle.

Current known issues:

• Not all tests ported (which are missing?)
• review build options
• Not all test .c/.h files are installed
• Not all tests run with a glib subproject doesn't work with autotools either, so I wouldn't block on this
• I noticed one doctool .py file isn't getting installed -> !108 (merged)
• The Python files don't get byte compiled (we probably need to use py_installation.install_sources with a custom install_dir) see https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/2903
• We need to add the workaround for not linking giscanner to libpython

Future steps:

• Once the build/install part is done we can switch jhbuild to get more feedback: jhbuild@39aa1c77
• After that switch gnome-contiuous to meson (config) MR: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-continuous/merge_requests/9
