[PATCH v4 09/10] ci: switch linux-musl to use Meson

In-Reply-To

Switch over the "linux-musl" job to use Meson instead of Makefiles. This is done due to multiple reasons:

  - It simplifies our CI infrastructure a bit as we don't have to
    manually specify a couple of build options anymore.
  - It verifies that Meson detects and sets those build options
    automatically.
  - It makes it easier for us to wire up a new CI job using zlib-ng as
    backend.

One platform compatibility that Meson cannot easily detect automatically is the `GIT_TEST_UTF8_LOCALE` variable used in tests. Wire up a build option for it, which we set via a new "MESONFLAGS" environment variable.

Note that we also drop the CC variable, which is set to "gcc". We already default to GCC when CC is unset in "ci/lib.sh", so this is not needed.
