This is adds basic configuration files for doxygen and for breathe,
which is a doxygen-to-sphinx bridge that can document C symbols.
Breathe is configured with default project 'weston' and implicitly adds
:members: and :undoc-members: to breathe configuration options.
This allows a shorter way to call breathe directives without the need
specify the project and also to display implicitly all the members,
documented or not.
A 'docs' run_target to force the docs to be re-built has been added.
Initially (the first time the build system is ran) the documentation
will automatically be built, but later re-builds will require the use of
the 'docs' target. This avoid further delays in building weston but in
the same time allows the possiblity to update/improve the documentation
bits to those who want that.

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.
