[PATCH libdrm] meson: don't use compiler.has_header

Meson's compiler.has_header is completely useless, it only checks that a
header exists, not whether it's usable. This creates problems if a
header contains a conditional #error declaration, like so:

> #if __x86_64__
> # error "Doesn't work with x86_64!"
> #endif

Compiler.has_header will return true in this case, even when compiling
for x86_64. This is useless.

Instead, we'll do a compile check so that any #error declarations will
be treated as errors, and compilation will work.

Fixes compilation on x32 architecture.
