Commit 6666dee52b ("man: Add weston-bindings(7) describing
desktop shell shortcuts") adds in file "man/meson.build" the line
install: true,
This line triggers a warning with meson 0.50.1:
WARNING: Project targetting '>= 0.47' but tried to use
feature introduced in '0.50.0': install arg in configure_file
Accordingly with
https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/5048
the line was silently ignored by meson before 0.50.0
One possible fix for this warning would require updating the
minumum version of meson required by weston, but then forcing every
builder to update meson.
Instead, since all the other instances in "man/meson.build" of
configure_file don't use the feature "install:", it seams safe to
simply remove the feature for the instal of "weston-bindings.man".

The desktop-shell-specific bindings were identified from
shell_add_bindings in desktop-shell/shell.c. Various general shortcuts
(like Ctrl+Alt+F) are provided by files in libweston/ and compositor/ .
Also introduce references to the new manual in weston(1) and weston.ini(5).

We claim to support meson versions >= 0.47 but the `install:` argument
in configure_file was introduced in version 0.50. This produces the
following meson warning:
WARNING: Project specifies a minimum meson_version '>= 0.47' but uses
features which were added in newer versions:
* 0.50.0: {'install arg in configure_file'}
From the documentation for the install argument [1]:
" When omitted it (install) defaults to true when install_dir is set and
not empty, false otherwise."
So, remove the `install:` argument and just depend on `install_dir` for
installing.

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.
