When install git-contacts with Meson via -Dcontrib=contacts, the default Perl generation fails to mark it executable. As a result, "git contacts" reports "'contacts' is not a git command."

Unlike generate-script.sh, we aren't testing the basename here; so, glob the script name in the case arm to match wherever the input comes from.

Tested like [1]. I was surprised to find my packager didn't have contacts installed, despite it being requested. But the issue is upstream (here): the installer doesn't mark the program as executable. I wrote this on top of the patch in [1], but it should be independent. A quick test says the prerequisite-patch-id shouldn't bother application?
