Remove the autotools build system.
There are OSes that do not ship with Python. During an intermim
period, couldn't we provide _both_ autotools and meson? in order to
not wreak havoc releases for such OSes.
We did that a number of years ago. This is not the first X.Org package to
require meson - the Xwayland, libxcvt, libpciaccess, intel-gpu-tools, and
xisxwayland packages all do as well and the number is slowly increasing over
time. (And of course, the Mesa & pixman packages that our X servers depend on,
and many packages from GNOME and other projects have also already done so.)
OS'es that don't ship python will have to build & install that package before
building X.Org packages.
