This patchset bumps the minimum meson version from 0.49.2 to 0.53.2.
Ideally, the minimum version should be 0.53 without a point release, but
some DPDK builds (mingw) are broken with 0.53.0 due to issue[1], fixed
by commit[2] in 0.53.1. Therefore we use the latest point release from
0.53 branch i.e. 0.53.2.
Some new features of interest which can now be used in DPDK with this
new minimum meson version:
* can do header-file checks directly inside find_library calls, rather
than needing a separate check.[v0.50].
* can pass multiple cross-files at the same time when cross-compiling
[v0.51].
* "alias_target" function, to allow use to give better/shorter names
for particular build objects [v0.52].
* auto-generation of clang-format [v0.50] and clang-tidy[v0.52] targets
when those tools are present and config dotfiles are present.
Similarly ctags and cscope are added as targets when those tools are
present [v0.53]
* meson module for filesystem operations, so meson can now check for the
presence of particular files or directories [v0.53].
* "summary" function to provide a configuration summary at the end of
the meson run [v0.53].
Plus many other features. See [3] for full details of each version.
