[libvirt PATCH 016/351] meson: add test_suite build option

[Pavel Hrdina]

With autoconf this option controlled if the test suite is compiled by
default or not with the fact that it will be compiled later when
running `make check`.

With meson it is not possible to compile it later when running
`ninja test` as it will be always compiled if referenced by `test()`
function in meson.build files. Because of that enable the test suite
be default.

Enabling it only when compiling from git makes the test suite disabled
for `ninja dist` command which builds the code from non-git location.
Since that command is closest equivalent of `make distcheck` which runs
the test suite.

The only drawback from the autoconf state is that users compiling
libvirt from tarball will compile the test suite as well even though
they will not run it in most cases.
