[v2,0/2] build contrib/plugins using meson

Contrib plugins have been built out of tree so far, thanks to a Makefile.
However, it is quite inconvenient for maintenance, as we may break them,
especially for specific architectures.

First patches are fixing warnings for existing plugins, then we add meson
support, and finally, we remove Makefile for contrib/plugins.

Based on the proposal of Anton Kochkov on associated gitlab issue.
Solves: https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/1710

Plugins are now deactivated by default on 32-bits hosts (since cf2a78), so we
can enable with meson without worrying of warnings when building plugins for 32
bits.

v2
--

- removed warnings fix for 32 bits as they were incorrect. They are not needed
  anymore as plugins are deprecated for 32 bits hosts.

Removed patches for individual plugins.
