Hi,

this small patch series backfills in a couple of missing features into
Meson. It also improves test coverage of our Meson-based CI jobs so that
we compile with Meson with Visual Studio and compile fuzzers. CI runs
for GitLab and GitHub can be found at [1] and [2], respectively.

The series is built on top of fbe8d30 (Git 2.48, 2025-01-10) with
ps/meson-weak-sha1-build at 6a0ee54 (meson: provide a summary of
configured backends, 2024-12-30) merged into it.

Changes in v2:
  - Consistently use `meson.has_header_symbol()` to fix warnings for
    features not yet available in Meson 0.61, which is our minimum
    required version.
  - Add another patch that makes use use `--fatal-meson-warnings` so
    that such warnings will cause the build to fail.
  - Fix a bug that made GIT-VERSION-GEN always return tags as version.
  - Adapt the approach we use to populate the project and distribution
    tarball versions.
  - Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250113-b4-pks-meson-additions-v1-0-97f6a93f691d@pks.im

Thanks!
