build: require sassc and drop generated .css files

Instead of requiring sassc to be installed add meson subprojects
which build libsass and sassc (currently both forks of mine, tested
under linux/mingw/msvc) when needed.

This allows us to drop the generated .css files and build scripts from git.

See #1502

 Summary
 -------
 
-* Do not edit the CSS directly, edit the source SCSS files
 * To be able to use the latest/adequate version of sass, install sassc
-* The configure script will detect whether or not you have sassc installed;
+* meson will regenerate the CSS every time you modify the SCSS files.
-  if you do, it will regenerate the CSS every time you modify the SCSS files.
 * Note that meson always builds out-of-tree, so the modified css files will
-  appear in your builddir, and you need to copy them back to the srcdir
+  appear in your builddir.
-  to commit them.
