Allow projects that use dtc as a subproject to find the tools and
library via find_program() and dependency(). This way, for those
projects there is no different between system dtc and subproject dtc.

We get full build parallelism and fewer confusing ancient distutils
paths. The python wheels build fully standalone, including linking
libfdt as a static library.
For convenience, when running pip install a meson option is passed that
prevents building tools or installing headers/pkgconfig files.
meson-python would otherwise include them in the wheel itself, in case
they are needed, but this is essentially a bit useless so don't bother.
The old setuptools-based build is now redundant and goes away.

Some packaging systems like NixOS don't support compiling static
libraries. However libfdt's meson.build uses `both_library()` which
forces the build to always compile shared and static libraries. Removing
`both_library()` will make packaging easier.
libfdt uses `both_libraries()` to support the 'static-build' option.
But we do not need the 'static-build' option as Meson can natively
build static using
> meson setup builddir/ -Dc_link_args='-static' --prefer-static --default-library=static
So drop 'static-build' and then replace `both_libraries()` with
`library()`.

When configuring the project, meson fails with:
tests/meson.build:107:27: ERROR: Unknown variable "util_dep"
Declare the util_dep dependency regardless if 'tools' are enabled, so
tests can be built with it.

The meson-python backend fails to map 'dtdiff' install into Python
wheels. Removing the prefix from the install_dir path allows
meson-python to map dtdiff. The install_data(install_dir) documentation
says "If this is a relative path, it is assumed to be relative to the
prefix"[1]. So removing the prefix does not change the installation
behaviour.

If the tests are run without a full compile they will fail. For example
with the following.
> rm -rf build/
> meson setup build/
> meson test -C build/
This is because the tests rely on the devicetree tools and test
executables.

Setting -D__USE_MINGW_ANSI_STDIO=1 is wrong and should not be used. MinGW
internally uses a macro to select between gnu_printf and printf. Just use
that instead of using a wrong format under clang backends.

When building from shallow clone, tag is not available
and version defaults to git hash.
Problem is that some builds check DTC version and fail the comparison.
Example is https://git.trustedfirmware.org/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a.git
Which fails to build with following error:
dtc version too old (039a994), you need at least version 1.4.4
Drop --always from git describe command, see
https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/blob/1.3.0/mesonbuild/utils/universal.py#L773
This will make it more closer to build via Makefile.

To synchronize the release version of the Makefile and Meson build
systems, pull the version info from a shared file.
Meson requires that the shared library version follow the X.Y.Z
numbering scheme. But the Makefile supported building shared libraries
with an EXTRAVERSION appended, for example X.Y.Z-rc1. We want to keep
the output of both systems the same to avoid issues, so we drop support
for the Makefile EXTRAVERSION.

The new meson build system support diverges from former build system
where the tests were not built until required.
This has caused an issue in NixOS[1] due to broken build of tests in
Darwin platform, so this patch allows the control if tests should be
build or not.

libyaml before 0.2.3 expects non-const string parameters. Supporting
both variants would require either cpp magic or ignoring
"discarded-qualifiers" compiler warnings. For the sake of simplicity
just support libyaml 0.2.3 and newer.
Note that NO_YAML can be overwritten on the make command line.

The meson build system allows projects to "vendor" dtc easily, thanks to
subproject(). QEMU has recently switched to meson, and adding meson
support to dtc will help to handle the QEMU submodule.
meson rules are arguably simpler to write and maintain than
the hand-crafted/custom Makefile. meson support various backends, and
default build options (including coverage, sanitizer, debug/release
etc, see: https://mesonbuild.com/Builtin-options.html)
Compare to the Makefiles, the same build targets should be built and
installed and the same tests should be run ("meson test" can be provided
extra test arguments for running the equivalent of checkm/checkv).
There is no support EXTRAVERSION/LOCAL_VERSION/CONFIG_LOCALVERSION,
instead the version is simply set with project(), and vcs_tag() is
used for git/dirty version reporting (This is most common and is
hopefully enough. If necessary, configure-time options could be added
for extra versioning.).
libfdt shared library is build following regular naming conventions:
instead of libfdt.so.1 -> libfdt-1.6.0.so (with current build-sys),
libfdt.so.1 -> libfdt.so.1.6.0. I am not sure why the current build
system use an uncommon naming pattern. I also included a libfdt.pc
pkg-config file, as convenience.
Both Linux native build and mingw cross-build pass. CI pass. Tests are
only run on native build.
The current Makefiles are left in-tree, and make/check still work.
Eventually, the Makefiles could be marked as deprecated, to start a
transition period and avoid having to maintain 2 build systems in the
near future.
(run_tests.sh could eventually be replaced by the meson test runner,
which would have several advantages in term of flexibility/features,
but this is left for another day)
