John Ericson 28d2af4ea6 Build nix-util with Meson
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.
