Erik Skultety 99cc3f7aa9 gitlab-ci.yml: Replace all explicit calls to ninja with meson commands
This is continuation of what commit b56e2be68e started. If we stick to
only calling meson commands directly, we can achieve much better
consistency in passing arguments to meson especially if we unify the
recipes run in gitlab CI and what we can currently run locally in
containers using docker/podman.

==============================
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:

https://libvirt.org
