Patrick Steinhardt 65d3a12884 git-gui: wire up "git-gui--askyesno" with Meson
The new "git-gui--askyesno" helper script has only been wired up for our
Makefile, not for Meson. Wire it up properly to bring both build systems
on par with each other again.

Patrick Steinhardt 8334d5e459 git-gui: prefer shell at "/bin/sh" with Meson
Meson detects the path of the target shell via `find_program("sh")`,
which essentially does a lookup via `PATH`. We know that almost all
systems have "/bin/sh" available though, which makes it the superior
choice as a default value.

Adapt `find_program()` to prefer "/bin/sh" over any other "sh"
executable.

Patrick Steinhardt 31d235c4c7 git-gui: fix use of GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES
The GIT-VERSION-GEN script sets up GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES so that we
won't accidentally parse version information from an unrelated parent
repository. The ceiling is derived from the source directory by simply
appendign "/.." to it, which mean that we'll only consider the current
directory for repository discovery.

This works alright in the case where git-gui is built as a standalone
project, but it breaks when git-gui is embedded into a _related_ parent
project. This is for example how git-gui is distributed via Git.

Interestingly enough, the version information is still derived properly
when building git-gui via Git's Makefile. In that case we eventually end
up specifying the ceiling directory as "./.." as we use relative paths
there, and that seems to not restrict the repository discovery.

But when building via Meson we specify the source directory as an
absolute path, and if so the repository discovery _is_ stopped. The
consequence is that we won't be able to derive the version in that case.

Fix the issue by adding a new optional parameter to GIT-VERSION-GEN that
allows the caller to override the parent project directory and wire up
new build options for Meson and Make that allows users to specify it.

Note that by default we won't set the parent project directory. This
isn't required for Meson anyway as we already use absolute paths there,
but for our Makefile it means that we still end up with "./.." as
ceiling directory, which is ineffective. But using e.g. pwd(1) as the
default value would break downstream's version generation, unless we
updated git-gui and the Makefile at the same point in time.

Carlo Marcelo Arenas Belón 0e3233b913 git-gui: honor TCLTK_PATH in git-gui--askpass
Since its introduction in 8c76212 (git-gui: Add a simple implementation
of SSH_ASKPASS., 2008-10-15), git-gui--askpass has been calling whatever
wish interpreter is in the path, unlike git-gui.

Correct that by turning it into a script that would be processed at build
time.

Carlo Marcelo Arenas Belón df41037be0 git-gui: retire Git Gui.app
In a recent commit, the minimum version of Tcl/Tk was raised to
8.6, but the "app" relies on the system provided Framework that
is based on 8.5.

Remove it, and let git-gui use a third party version of Wish if
available.

Patrick Steinhardt 8bf062dd14 git-gui: wire up support for the Meson build system
The Git project has started to wire up Meson as a build system in Git
v2.48.0. Wire up support for Meson in "git-gui" so that we can trivially
include it as a subproject in Git.
