We now generate the scripts using their real name, install them using
meson's builtin facility instead of an install_script, and generate the
wrapper scripts in the root of the build directory, instead of a
subdirectory.

This gets us closer to resolving FS#64394.

This sort of seems to work, but passing variables around between
different meson.build files feels awkward. On the plus side, fewer
build-aux/ scripts!

Is this a desirable experience? We now create all the wrapped scripts in
the root of the build tree, which matches what we do for the pacman
binaries and so on, and I guess this should be fine since unlike
autotools we do not need to care about dirtying the source tree (we
cannot do in-tree builds). It is more convenient accessing the scripts
from there, too, and in fact we now create wrappers for repo-elephant
(long may he live), pacman-key, pacman-db-upgrade, etc as well.

Yeah... missing removal in Makefile.am's EXTRA_DIST... on the plus side
I'd actually run ninja dist for this patch, and that works...
