nixpkgs delivered us the untimely gift of a meson 1.5 upgrade, which *does* make our lives easier by allowing us to delete wrap generation code, but it does so at the cost of renaming all rust crates in such a way that the wrap logic cannot tolerate the new names on the old meson version 😭. It also means that support burden for this is going to be atrocious until we either give in and vendor meson 1.5 or we make a CI target for it. Neither seems appealing, though the latter is not super absurd for ensuring we don't break nixpkgs unstable. This commit causes meson 1.5 to ignore the .wrap files in subprojects/ entirely (since they have the wrong names lol) and instead use Cargo.lock, so it now hard-depends on our workspace reshuffling improvement. It also deletes the hack that we were using to get the sources of Cargo deps into meson by using a feature that went unnoticed when this code was originally written: MESON_PACKAGE_CACHE_DIR: |
