--dynamic-list is present on all supported ELF (not Windows or Darwin)
platforms, since it dates back to 2006; -exported_symbols_list is
likewise present on all supported versions of macOS.  Do not bother
doing a functional test in configure.

Remove the file creation from configure as well: for Darwin, move the
the creation of the Darwin-formatted symbols to meson; for ELF, use the
file in the source path directly and switch from -Wl, to -Xlinker to
not break weird paths that include a comma.

Meson 0.58.2 does not need b_staticpic=$pie anymore, and has
stabilized the keyval module.  Remove the workaround and use a few
replacements for features deprecated in the 0.57.0 release cycle.

One feature that we would like to use is passing dependencies to
summary.  However, that was broken in 0.59.0 and 0.59.1.  Therefore,
use the embedded Meson if the host has anything older than 0.59.2,
but allow --meson= to use 0.58.2.

On Mac --enable-modules and --enable-plugins are currently incompatible, because the
Apple -Wl,-exported_symbols_list command line options prevents the export of any
symbols needed by the modules.  On x86 -Wl,--dynamic-list does not have this effect,
but only because the -Wl,--export-dynamic option provided by gmodule-2.0.pc overrides
it.  On Apple there is no -Wl,--export-dynamic, because it is the default, and thus
no override.

Either way, when modules are active there is no reason to include the plugin_ldflags.
While at it, avoid the useless -Wl,--export-dynamic when --enable-plugins is
specified but --enable-modules is not; this way, the GNU and Apple configurations
are more similar.

The binaries move to the root directory, e.g. qemu-system-i386 or
qemu-arm.  This requires changes to qtests, CI, etc.

For now link arguments end up in Makefile.target, they will move to the
