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.

This is not really part of the evaluator: it is just an integration
between Boehm GC and Boost coroutines usable for any purpose. The
evaluator (merely) optionally uses it.
Since 24.05 (I think) we need to pass `-c` or Clang thinks we want to
compile *both* a final executable and precompiled header file, and
complains that we cannot use `-o` with multiple outputs. `-c` seems fine
with GCC too, so I just put it in there conditionally.
the thesis is still the defining document with all the motivation and
explanations.
adding it here for greater visibility.
also more emphasis and clarity around the community aspect.
the hydra build job seems a bit arbitrary right there. may be better for
the contributing guide.
