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.

^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
AAT::Lookup has no other way to detect whether it is returned from
a real and sanitized font data or from a null pool, this checks if
the table has been recognized valid by sanitizer by checking
table's major version which is zero if returned from a null pool and
non-zero if is from a sanitized font data, it is expected the other
calls of the table (unlikely to have more calls however) also do a
similar version check before calling the lookups used on the table.
In case a user passed -Dintrospection=enabled the build would just ignore
it by default because gobject defaults to disabled and the introspection build
gets skipped.
Instead, if introspection is explicitly enabled but gobject is for some reason
missing error out.
Fixes#2404
