meson.build: correct setting of GIT_EXEC_PATH
For the non-'runtime prefix' case, the meson build sets the GIT_EXEC_PATH build variable to an absolute path equivalent to <prefix>/libexec/git-core. In comparison, the default make build sets it to a relative path equivalent to 'libexec/git-core'. Indeed, the make build requires the use of some means outside of the Makefile (eg. config.mak[.*] or the command-line) to set GIT_EXEC_PATH to anything other than 'libexec/git-core'. For example, the make invocation: $ make gitexecdir=/some/other/bin all install will build git with GIT_EXEC_PATH set to '/some/other/bin' and install the 'library' executables to that location. However, without setting the 'gitexecdir' make variable, irrespective of the 'runtime prefix' setting, the GIT_EXEC_PATH is always set to 'libexec/git-core'. The meson built-in 'libexecdir' option can be used to provide a similar configurability. The default value for the option is 'libexec'. Attempting to set the option to '' on the command-line, will reset it to the '.' string, presumably to ensure a relative path value. This commit allows the meson build, similar to the above, to configure the project like: $ meson setup --buildtype=debugoptimized -Dprefix=$HOME -Dpcre2=disabled \ -Dlibexecdir=/some/other/bin build so that the GIT_EXEC_PATH is set to '/some/other/bin'. Absent the -Dlibexecdir argument, the GIT_EXEC_PATH is set to 'libexec/git-core'. In order to correct the value of GIT_EXEC_PATH, default the value to the static string value 'libexec/git-core', and only override if the value of the 'libexecdir' option has a value different to 'libexec' or '.'. Also, like the Makefile, add a check for an absolute path when the runtime prefix option is true (and if so, error out).
