Enables builds with ASAN to catch memory corruption
bugs faster and in CI. This is an incredibly valuable
instrument that must be used as much as possible.
Somewhat based on jade's work from Lix, though there's a lot that
we have to do differently:

Before this change, if you were cross compiling Nix, then the nix-manual
subproject would never get built. In some situations, it makes sense to
not build the nix-manual subproject when cross compiling. For example,
if the build system is x86_64 and the host system is riscv64, then it
makes sense to not build the manual. Building the manual requires
executing certain build artifacts, and you can’t run x86_64 executables
on riscv64 systems.
That being said, there are some situations where it does make sense to
build the nix-manual subproject when cross compiling. For example, if
the build system is x86_64 and the host system is i686, then it doesn’t
make sense to not build the manual. You can run i686 executables on
x86_64 systems just fine.
This change makes it so that the nix-manual subproject will sometimes
get built when cross compiling. Specifically, the nix-manual subproject
will get built as long as the doc-gen option is enabled and the build
system is capable of running host binaries.
---
The main motivation behind this change is to fix this Nixpkgs issue [1].
Building pkgs.nixStatic counts as cross compiling Nix, and
pkgs.nixStatic is supposed to produce a man output. Building
pkgs.nixStatic currently fails because it isn’t actually producing a man
output. That issue will go away once this commit gets backported to Nix
2.28.x.

This adds a meson.format file that mostly mirrors the projects
meson style and a pre-commit hook to enforce this style.
Some low-diff files are formatted.
Meson-ify a few things, scripts, completions, etc. Should make our Meson
build complete except for docs.

* Only build perl subproject on Linux
* Fix various Windows regressions
* Don't put the emulator hook in test builds
We run the tests in a separate derivation. Only need it for the dev shell.
* Fix native dev shells
* Fix cross dev shells we don't know how to emulate

They are not actually part of the store layer, but instead part of the
Nix executable infra (libraries don't need plugins, executables do).
This is part of a larger project of moving all of our legacy settings
infra to libmain, and having the underlying libraries just have plain
configuration structs detached from any settings infra / UI layer.
Progress on #5638
Special thanks to everyone that has worked on a Meson port so far,
@p01arst0rm and @Qyriad in particular.

The idea is two-fold:
- Replace autotools with Meson
- Build each library in its own derivation
The interaction of these two features is that Meson's "subprojects"
feature (https://mesonbuild.com/Subprojects) allows us to have single
dev shell for building all libraries still, while also building things
separately. This allows us to break up the build without a huge
productivity lost.
I tested the Linux native build, and NetBSD and Windows cross builds.
Also do some clean ups of the Flake in the process of supporting new
jobs.
