Switch git to meson?

I think git should be switched from make to Meson considering its faster
compilation time.

The instructions would be replaced as follows:

"./configure --prefix=/usr                   \
            --with-gitconfig=/etc/gitconfig \
            --with-python=python3           \
            --with-libpcre2                 &&
make"

Would be replaced with:

"mkdir build &&
cd        build &&

meson setup --prefix=/usr
\
                          -D gitconfig=/etc/gitconfig
\
                          -D python=enabled
\
                          -D pcre2=enabled
\
                          -D perllibdir=/usr/lib/perl5/5.42/site_perl \
                          ..
&&
ninja"

"make html"

Would be replaced with:

"meson configure -D docs=html && ninja"

"make man"

Would be replaced with:

"meson configure -D docs=man && ninja"

"make perllibdir=/usr/lib/perl5/5.42/site_perl install"

Would be replaced with:

"ninja install"

And the two tar -xf commands would have a ../ added for the directory.
