build: Add meson option to enable TAP protocol in tests

Together with our C tests we have our python functional test framework,
which requires the use of TAPTestRunner from tap.py.

Add a config switch, so that we don't need the python library (or behave
strangely in functional tests without it) in developer setups, and can
enable specifically in CI.
