[PATCH v3 00/11] meson: a couple of additions

Hi,

this small patch series backfills in a couple of missing features into Meson. It also improves test coverage of our Meson-based CI jobs so that we compile with Meson with Visual Studio and compile fuzzers. CI runs for GitLab and GitHub can be found at [1] and [2], respectively.

The series is built on top of fbe8d3079d (Git 2.48, 2025-01-10) with ps/meson-weak-sha1-build at 6a0ee54f9a (meson: provide a summary of configured backends, 2024-12-30) merged into it.

Changes in v2:
  - Consistently use `meson.has_header_symbol()` to fix warnings for
    features not yet available in Meson 0.61, which is our minimum
    required version.
  - Add another patch that makes use use `--fatal-meson-warnings` so
    that such warnings will cause the build to fail.
  - Fix a bug that made GIT-VERSION-GEN always return tags as version.
  - Adapt the approach we use to populate the project and distribution
    tarball versions.
  - Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250113-b4-pks-meson-additions-v1-0-97f6a93f691d@pks.im

Changes in v3:
  - Fix a commit message typo.
  - Revamp how the distribution tarball is created so that we don't have
    to adapt `GIT-VERSION-GEN` for it.
  - Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250114-b4-pks-meson-additions-v2-0-8d7ec676cfd9@pks.im

Thanks!

Patrick

         The Git version for Meson is currently wired up manually. It can thus
    -    grow (and alread has grown) stale quite easily, as having multiple

         sources of truth is never a good idea. This issue is mostly of cosmetic
         nature as we don't use the project version anywhere, and instead use the
         GIT-VERSION-GEN script to propagate the correct version into our build.
