In preference to vendoring meson source, vendor a built distributable
("bdist" in python parlance). This has some benefits:
(1) We can get rid of a git submodule,
(2) Installing built meson into a venv doesn't require any extra
dependencies (the python "wheel" package, chiefly.)
(3) We don't treat meson any differently than we would any other python
package (we install it, end of story, done.)
(4) All future tarball *and* developer checkouts will function offline;
No git or PyPI connection needed to fetch meson.
Note that because mkvenv prefers vendored packages to PyPI, as mkvenv is
currently written we will never consult PyPI for meson. (Do keep in mind
that your distribution's meson will be preferred above the vendored
version, though.)
