build: build lix-doc with Meson! 🎉

lix-doc is now built with Meson, with lix-doc's dependencies built as
Meson subprojects, either fetched on demand with .wrap files, or fetched
in advance by Nix with importCargoLock. It even builds statically.

Fixes #256.

+# Until Meson 1.5¹, we can't just give Meson a Cargo.lock file and be done with it.
+# Meson will *detect* what dependencies are needed from Cargo files; it just won't
+# fetch them. The Meson 1.5 feature essentially internally translates Cargo.lock entries
+# to .wrap files, and that translation is incredibly straightforward, so let's just
+# use a simple Python script to generate the .wrap files ourselves while we wait for
+# Meson 1.5. Weirdly, it seems Meson will only detect dependencies from other
+# dependency() calls, so we have to specify lix-doc's two top-level dependencies,
+# rnix and rowan, manually, and then their dependencies will be recursively translated
+# into more dependency() calls.
+#
+# When Meson translates a Cargo dependency, the string passed to `dependency()` follows
+# a fixed format, which is important as the .wrap files' basenames must match the string
+# passed to `dependency()` exactly.
+# In Meson 1.4, this format is `$packageName-rs`. Meson 1.5 changes this to
+# `$packageName-$shortenedVersionString-rs`, because of course it does, but we'll cross
+# that bridge when we get there...
