Niels Lohmann cc9fafa0e1 Complete the Meson options and match CMake's compile definitions
Finish the Meson changes from #4452:

- Offer all eight options that change the CMake target, named like the
  CMake options without the JSON_ prefix. MultipleHeaders defaults to
  false so that existing Meson users keep the single header.
- Add a compile definition only for an option that differs from its
  default, exactly as target_compile_definitions does. Before, the
  GlobalUDLs and ImplicitConversions definitions were inverted and were
  also added in the default configuration.
- Keep the nlohmann_json_multiple_headers dependency that earlier
  versions of meson.build provided.
- Put the definitions into the pkg-config file and the Meson-generated
  nlohmann_jsonTargets.cmake, and install the pkg-config file into
  <datadir>/pkgconfig like CMake does.
- Ship meson_options.txt in include.zip, since meson.build now reads
  options and the zip is documented as a Meson subproject.

Niels Lohmann 0d2240ad1e Install CMake package config files with Meson
A Meson installation only provided the headers and a pkg-config file, so
consumers using find_package(nlohmann_json) could not find the library.
Meson now also installs nlohmann_jsonConfig.cmake and
nlohmann_jsonConfigVersion.cmake from the existing templates, plus a
static nlohmann_jsonTargets.cmake that defines the header-only imported
target with a relocatable include path.

A new CI job installs with Meson and builds tests/cmake_import/project
against the result.

Closes #3885
