09e93326e4 build: replace ninjatool with ninja
Now that the build is done entirely by Meson, there is no need
to keep the Makefile conversion.  Instead, we can ask Ninja about
the targets it exposes and forward them.

The main advantages are, from smallest to largest:

- reducing the possible namespace pollution within the Makefile

- removal of a relatively large Python program

- faster build because parsing Makefile.ninja is slower than
parsing build.ninja; and faster build after Meson runs because
we do not have to generate Makefile.ninja.

- tracking of command lines, which provides more accurate rebuilds

In addition the change removes the requirement for GNU make 3.82, which
was annoying on Mac, and avoids bugs on Windows due to ninjatool not
knowing how to convert Windows escapes to POSIX escapes.

27d551c00d meson: clean up build_by_default
Build all executables by default except for the known-broken ones.

This also allows running qemu-iotests without manually building
socket_scm_helper.

b6daf4d369 configure: do not look for install(1)
It is not used anymore, so there is no Solaris-specific check to
perform.

1a94933fcc meson: use pkg-config method to find dependencies
We do not need to ask cmake for the dependencies, so just use the
pkg-config mechanism.  Keep "auto" for SDL so that it tries using
sdl-config too.

The documentation is adjusted to use SDL2_image as the example,
rather than SDL which does not use the "pkg-config" method.
