The idea is two-fold:
- Replace autotools with Meson
- Build each library in its own derivation
The interaction of these two features is that Meson's "subprojects"
feature (https://mesonbuild.com/Subprojects) allows us to have single
dev shell for building all libraries still, while also building things
separately. This allows us to break up the build without a huge
productivity lost.
I tested the Linux native build, and NetBSD and Windows cross builds.
Also do some clean ups of the Flake in the process of supporting new
jobs.
Special thanks to everyone that has worked on a Meson port so far,
@p01arst0rm and @Qyriad in particular.

- Get a rump derivation goal: hook instance will come later, local
derivation goal will come after that.
- Start cleaning up the channel / waiting code with an abstraction.
Building derivations is a lot harder, but the downloading goals is
portable enough.
The "common channel" code is due to Volth. I wonder if there is a way we
can factor it out into separate functions / files to avoid some
within-function CPP.

At this point many features are stripped out, but this works:
- Can run libnix{util,store,expr} unit tests
- Can run some Nix commands
