minstall: Add a new option --quietnirbheek/minstall-perf-improvements-and-new-option-quiet

This is a significant speed-up on Windows because terminals are
slow to print things out.

Speed-up in gst-build on Windows:

```
meson install:
before: 5.1 seconds
after:  4.0 seconds
```

+## New option `--quiet` to `meson install`
+
+Now you can run `meson install --quiet` and meson will not verbosely print
+every file as it is being installed. As before, the full log is always
+available inside the builddir in `meson-logs/install-log.txt`.
+
+When this option is passed, install scripts will have the environment variable
+`MESON_INSTALL_QUIET` set.
+
+Numerous speed-ups were also made for the install step, especially on Windows
+where it is now 300% to 1200% faster than before depending on your workload.
