As a part of meson migration, this builds hb-shape dependencies
using meson subprojects and removes different unrelated mingw
files we've put on source root about things that aren't really our
concern. This also simplifies all the instructions we've put in
README.mingw.md and makes it easy to build the project on
distros that no mingw libraries (such i686-win32-{freetype,glib,...}
are packaged. The known catch is however lack of hb-view as its need
for build of cairo which apparently isn't that straightforward.
So one can run a category of interested tests like
meson test -Cbuild --suite aots --suite src --print-errorlogs
Intead issuing particular tests which also is possible like
meson test -Cbuild test-shape --print-errorlogs
This way it won't ruin incremental builds.
We need a better way to declare source altering tasks
https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/7156
yet this is good enough despite being not idiomatic.
It is however not that smooth yet as the change may is detected on the
next meson run. One of course can issue ./gen-ragel-artifacts.py
manually for better experience before running meson.
Using a C linker was limited to non-Windows as 20a840c7, let's
revisit this while transition to meson.
Packagers easily override that via the option and use a C++ linker
if needed.
