Patrick Steinhardt 904339edbd Introduce support for the Meson build system
Introduce support for the Meson build system, a "modern" meta build
system that supports many different platforms, including Linux, macOS,
Windows and BSDs. Meson supports different backends, including Ninja,
Xcode and Microsoft Visual Studio. Several common IDEs provide an
integration with it.

The biggest contender compared to Meson is probably CMake as outlined in
our "Documentation/technical/build-systems.txt" file. Based on my own
personal experience from working with both build systems extensively I
strongly favor Meson over CMake. In my opinion, it feels significantly
easier to use with a syntax that feels more like a "real" programming
language. The second big reason is that Meson supports Rust natively,
which may prove to be important given that the project may pick up Rust
as another language eventually.

Using Meson is rather straight-forward. An example:

    ```
    # Meson uses out-of-tree builds. You can set up multiple build
    # directories, how you name them is completely up to you.
    $ mkdir build
    $ cd build
    $ meson setup .. -Dprefix=/tmp/git-installation

    # Build the project. This also provides several other targets like
    e.g. `install` or `test`.
    $ ninja

    # Meson has been wired up to support execution of our test suites.
    # Both our unit tests and our integration tests are supported.
    # Running `meson test` without any arguments will execute all tests,
    # but the syntax supports globbing to select only some tests.
    $ meson test 't-*'
    # Execute single test interactively to allow for debugging.
    $ meson test 't0000-*' --interactive --test-args=-ix
    ```

The build instructions have been successfully tested on the following
systems, tests are passing:

  - Apple macOS 10.15.

  - FreeBSD 14.1.

  - NixOS 24.11.

  - OpenBSD 7.6.

  - Ubuntu 24.04.

  - Windows 10 with Cygwin.

  - Windows 10 with MinGW64, except for t9700, which is also broken with
    our Makefile.

  - Windows 10 with Visual Studio 2022 toolchain, using the Native Tools
    Command Prompt with `meson setup --vsenv`. Tests pass, except for
    t9700.

  - Windows 10 with Visual Studio 2022 solution, using the Native Tools
    Command Prompt with `meson setup --backend vs2022`. Tests pass,
    except for t9700.

  - Windows 10 with VS Code, using the Meson plug-in.

It is expected that there will still be rough edges in the current
version. If this patch lands the expectation is that it will coexist
with our other build systems for a while. Like this, distributions can
slowly migrate over to Meson and report any findings they have to us
such that we can continue to iterate. A potential cutoff date for other
build systems may be Git 3.0.

Some notes:

  - The installed distribution is structured somewhat differently than
    how it used to be the case. All of our binaries are installed into
    `$libexec/git-core`, while all binaries part of `$bindir` are now
    symbolic links pointing to the former. This rule is consistent in
    itself and thus easier to reason about.

  - We do not install dashed binaries into `$libexec/git-core` anymore,
    so there won't e.g. be a symlink for git-add(1). These are not
    required by modern Git and there isn't really much of a use case for
    those anymore. By not installing those symlinks we thus start the
    deprecation of this layout.

  - We're targeting Meson 1.3.0, which has been released relatively
    recently November 2023. The only feature we use from that version is
    `fs.relative_to()`, which we could replace if necessary. If so, we
    could start to target Meson 1.0.0 and newer, released in December
    2022.

  - The whole build instructions count around 3300 lines, half of which
    is listing all of our code and test files. Our Makefiles are around
    5000 lines, autoconf adds another 1300 lines. CMake in comparison
    has only 1200 linescode, but it avoids listing individual files and
    does not wire up auto-configuration as extensively as the Meson
    instructions do.

  - We bundle a set of subproject wrappers for curl, expat, openssl,
    pcre2 and zlib. This allows developers to build Git without these
    dependencies preinstalled, and Meson will fetch and build them
    automatically. This is especially helpful on Windows.
