meson: Simplify the use of built tools
The Meson build has fallen a bit behind the Autotools one, when it comes
to the internally built tools like glib-mkenums and glib-genmarshals.
We don't need to generate gmarshal.strings any more, and since the
glib-genmarshal tool is now written in Python it can also be used when
cross-compiling, and without indirection, just like we use glib-mkenums.
We can also coalesce various rules into a simple array iteration, with
minimal changes to glib-mkenums, thus making the build a bit more
resilient and without unnecessary duplication.
