Avoid duplication of atom retrieval. This is particuarly useful
if one would one to reuse atom retrival in other parts, like tests.

We have two kinds of libweston users: internal and external. Weston, the
frontend, counts as an external user, and should not have access to libweston
private headers. The shell plugins are external users as well, because we
intend people to be able to write them. Renderers, backends, and some plugins
are internal users who will need access to private headers.
Create two different Meson dependency objects, one for each kind.
This makes it less likely to accidentally use a private header.
Screen-share is a Weston plugin and therefore counts as an external user, but
it needs the backend API to deliver input. Until we are comfortable exposing
public API for that purpose, let it use internal headers.

Define common_inc which includes both public_inc and the project root directory.
The project root directory will allow access to config.h and all the shared/
headers.
Replacing all custom '.', '..', '../..', '../shared' etc. include paths with
common_inc reduces clutter in the target definitions and enforces the common
#include directive style, as e.g. including shared/ headers without the
subdirectory name no longer works.
Unfortunately this does not prevent one from using private libweston headers
with the usual include pattern for public headers.

Use the pattern to avoid identing everything, when everything in the
file is under the one conditional.
Helps readability.

Meson is a build system, currently implemented in Python, with multiple
output backends, including Ninja and Make. The build file syntax is
clean and easy to read unlike autotools. In practise, configuring and
building with Meson and Ninja has been observed to be much faster than
with autotools. Also cross-building support is excellent.
More information at http://mesonbuild.com
Since moving to Meson requires some changes from users in any case, we
took this opportunity to revamp build options. Most of the build options
still exist, some have changed names or more, and a few have been
dropped. The option to choose the Cairo flavour is not implemented since
for the longest time the Cairo image backend has been the only
recommended one.
This Meson build should be fully functional and it installs everything
an all-enabled autotools build does. Installed pkg-config files have
some minor differences that should be insignificant. Building of some
developer documentation that was never installed with autotools is
missing.
It is expected that the autotools build system will be removed soon
after the next Weston release.
