meson: Install generated headers without needing a script

This script dates from a long time ago when Meson lacked ways to install
generated headers.

This fixes an issue where `ninja install` in tracker.git triggers a
rebuild of lots of stuff from tracker-miners.git, which happened because
the mtime of the installed generated headers would become newer than the
build files in tracker-miners.git and cause ninja to rebuild them all.
