Qyriad 95863b258b 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.

Meson

# 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...
