Introduce Meson as build framework for building libtraceevent.

The build steps are:

  # configure using .build as build directory and install destination
  # /tmp/test
  meson setup --prefix=/tmp/libtraceevent .build

  # trigger the build
  meson compile -C .build

  # In case you want to build the documentation, trigger the
  # build via the 'docs' target:
  meson compile -C build docs

  # install the library (and documentation)
  meson install -C .build

v6:
 - changed project defaults to --default-library=both
 - code style consistency updates
 - hardening doc install script (shellcheck)
 - renamed install-man.sh.in to install-docs.sh.in
 - install-docs.sh.in installs html pages too
 - introduces docs target
 - updated copyright year
 - streamlined documentation meson build file
 
v5:
 - build unit test only if CUnit is found
 - default build target is debug
 - do not install man pages into subdirs
 
v4:
 - install man pages to correct section, in this case 3
 - run check-doc when building the docs

v3:
 - build documentation
 - build samples
 - changed default install to /usr/local

v2:
 - changed include path exported in pkg-config
   exports the same paths as per Makefile

v1:
 - initial version

So I followed the above steps, and when I did:

Don't know, I wasn't able to figure out the install path by
reading the Makefile. Where should they go?

+#
+# - The documentation build is not part of the 'build' target. The user
