Meson is a build system focused on speed an ease of use, which
helps speeding up the software development. This patch adds meson
support along autotools.

In order to share the libgd and gvc modules between autotools and
meson, this patch moves their directories to subprojects
directory and updates autotools.

This makes loading faster, with less I/O, avoids unnecessary
code duplication (around 1k lines shaved), and ensures that
all the panels link and work appropriately.
By the same token, it will stop external panels from being
created, and loaded.

This should not be active by default in tarballs, and it's the only
panel building with this.
If someone wants to use the DISABLE_*_DEPRECATED flags, then please add
support for this only when building from git.
