Dependency updates, build adjustments and fixes

Option enforce_build_order was removed now that a proper Meson fix is available.
Instead, the workaround is used unconditionally on broken Meson versions (notably, this includes our current Flatpak runtime).
Contributors are expected to use recent Meson in order to avoid degraded IDE experience.
Packagers must remove the option (regardless of Meson version in use).

 An alternative to direct installation is to use flatpak manifest stored at `flatpak/org.v1993.NXDumpClient.yml` (please note that building with flatpak requires initializing git submodules; they are not used otherwise). Use of `flatpak-builder` is out-of-scope for this document - download pre-built package from Flathub if you just want to use the flatpak version.
