Patch from a series of patches to rename EAPI symbols to specific
library DSOs.
EAPI was designed to be able to pass
```__attribute__ ((visibility ("default")))``` for symbols with
GCC, which would mean that even if -fvisibility=hidden was used
when compiling the library, the needed symbols would get exported.
MSVC __almost__ works like GCC (or mingw) in which you can
declare everything as export and it will just work (slower, but
it will work). But there's a caveat: global variables will not
work the same way for MSVC, but works for mingw and GCC.
For global variables (as opposed to functions), MSVC requires
correct DSO visibility for MSVC: instead of declaring a symbol as
export for everything, you need to declare it as import when
importing from another DSO and export when defining it locally.
With current EAPI definitions, we get the following example
working in mingw and MSVC (observe it doesn't define any global
variables as exported symbols).
Example 1:
dll1:
```
EAPI void foo(void);
EAPI void bar()
{
foo();
}
```
dll2:
```
EAPI void foo()
{
printf ("foo\n");
}
```
This works fine with API defined as __declspec(dllexport) in both
cases and for gcc defining as
```__atttribute__((visibility("default")))```.
However, the following:
Example 2:
dll1:
```
EAPI extern int foo;
EAPI void foobar(void);
EAPI void bar()
{
foo = 5;
foobar();
}
```
dll2:
```
EAPI int foo = 0;
EAPI void foobar()
{
printf ("foo %d\n", foo);
}
```
This will work on mingw but will not work for MSVC. And that's why
EAPI is the only solution that worked for MSVC.

Evas engines are refactored to use the predefined engine deps.
this is preparation work for efl-one.

Summary: EAPI must be defined to dllexport when building DLL, and to dllimport when using these DLL. To achieve this, define EFL_BUILD for each library and module, and set DLL_EXPORT unconditionally. Static library are and will be not supported

so i've moved all systemd and elogind support to be runtime only with
dlopen (eina_module) of libsystemd.so.0 (or libelogind.so.0 for elput)
and finding of symbols manually at runtime (if the right code paths or
env vars are set), thus remvoing the need to decide at compile time if
efl needs systemd support or not as it no longer needs systemd
headers/libs at compile time and just at runtime. this simplifies
building a bit and makes efl more adaptive to the final target system
at runtime.
Summary: it is useless to check for header files which necessarly exist

Summary:
this is done because .eo files are not stable, and in order to stop
people depending on it, its better for now to disable the installation
of them for now.

this takes the current generated output from eolian for legacy code in
evas and adds it to the tree, then removes legacy references from the
corresponding eo files. in the case where the entire eo file was for
a legacy object, that eo file has been removed from the tree

This uses the meson/ninja depfile functionality + eolian to make
sure proper dependencies between generated files and .eo files
are managed, to ensure consistent re-generation of all generated
files that are affected upon .eo file modification.
For custom rules with multiple outputs, Ninja currently does not
support depfiles. Therefore, split those into two custom rules
so that the depfiles functionality can be enabled. While this
is ugly and slows down the process a little by having to invoke
Eolian twice instead of once, it has to be done and it's still
better than what we had in Autotools anyway.

meson was taken because it went quite good for enlightenment, and is a traction gaining system that is also used by other mayor projects. Additionally, the DSL that is defined my meson makes the configuration of the builds a lot easier to read.
Further informations can be gathered from the README.meson
Right now, bindings & windows support are missing.
It is highly recommented to use meson 0.48 due to optimizations in meson
that reduced the time the meson call would need.
