Convert remaining GNOME packages to meson

[jtojnar]

https://wiki.gnome.org/Initiatives/GnomeGoals/MesonPorting

Porting package usually consists of:

1. Adding meson and ninja to nativeBuildInputs
2. Removing old build system (for autotools, it would be autoreconfHook, autoconf, automake, libtool)
3. Convert configureFlags and makeFlags to mesonFlags (--enable-foo usually corresponds to -Dfoo=true but you should check meson_options.txt in the root of the project)
4. Meson discourages magic dependency detection (i.e. --enable-foo=auto), you might need to add some dependencies that were forgotten previously.
5. Some packages might need patching shebangs in install scripts (example)

Most Mason-able GNOME packages (including gnome3.gtk) have this one build error:

So far I ported:

• at-spi2-atk
• at-spi2-core
• clutter-gtk

In #41365.

NOTE: gnome3.grilo was not includded in the heading list. Blocker resolved, upstream includded meson files in the tarball.
