Meson build instructions for libmediaart

These are hopefully complete already. I have compared an Autotools-built
and a Meson-built install of libmediaart and found only the following
differences:

  * libmediaart-2.0.la isn't generated by Meson
  * External references in the gtk-doc documentation are relative with
    Meson and absolute with Autotools
  * Some changes in generated .vapi file and .pc file
