[PATCH v3 1/2] Makefile: deprecate in favor of Meson

Building the python bindings is complicated and not very practical to do
in a Makefile. The setuptools invocations previously used are confusing
and don't work very well compared to Meson. Having two build systems
that do different things is also confusing though.

Since Meson can do everything that Make can do, but the reverse is not
true, we deprecate the latter and warn when you use it.

GNU Make can emit a $(warning) on every Makefile run, which is a bit
noisy but means we don't need to have every target depend on a PHONY
target (preventing built targets from being seen as up to date).
