Andrea Bolognani 3866a40a95 meson: Drop support for -Wl,-M
This was originally introduced in c2fb8bfee3, reportedly to
support symbol versioning on Solaris; more recently, 30b301c6ea
ported it to meson.

Up until the previous commit this has resulted in passing

  -M .../libvirt/build/src/libvirt.syms

to the linker on macOS, but the implementation of the -M option
on that platform's linker is literally

  else if ( strcmp(arg, "-M") == 0 ) {
      // FIX FIX
  }

so in practice we've been providing an additional input file,
which the linker understandably ignores after printing a warning
since it's not in any format that it recognizes.

Considering that LLVM's linker, which is now used by default on
FreeBSD, supports the same --version-script option as the GNU
linker, that we have introduced special handling for macOS, and
that we don't target Solaris, we can simply drop the branch at
this point.

==============================
Libvirt API for virtualization
==============================

Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.

For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management
daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the
API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.

Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other
languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as
mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.

Further information about the libvirt project can be found on the
website:
