Use Meson for build system

[ppaalanen]

Many projects related to freedesktop.org and the graphics stacks have already migrated to Meson build system. If libedid was Meson too, it could easily be used as a sub-project from other projects, maybe to provide a static library. That would be an easy way to integrate libedid before it gets packaged in distributions. As static library, it also wouldn't need a stable API or ABI before being used, if compositors use a git snapshot of it. Meson wrap would make it very easy, but need a Meson build system in libedid.

This is not urgent until you want this actually used in compositor projects.

Noted,
I will keep this in the to-do list

Note that all the talk about Meson is based on the assumption that you have your own project.

If we go to edid-decode instead, I won't ask for Meson at all, since it's an existing project. However, if edid-decode upstream would be happy have a Meson build system, that's a different story.
