Hmm, this is all very strange if I'm reading the the
add_project_link_arguments doc correctly it should apply to everything
we have. The difference between add_project and add_global  is just
about meson subprojects, but the tests are in our main project.

If add_project_link_arguments isn't working as we expect, we might be
better removing its use entirely in favour of explicitly adding the
_deps objects in the particular places they are needed.
