Port to meson build system

Hi all,

These past few months I have been porting some libraries and applications
to meson build system[0], within the "MesonPorting" initiative[1] that
tries to port packages under GNOME umbrella to meson.

As you may know, meson is a new build system which offers some benefits
over autotools, of which I would like to highlight the following: it's very
user friendly and usually, faster.

I have ported polkit to meson and also submitted a patch[2]. I have also
created a fork with this patch merged[3] that could ease its testing.

Please let me know any comment or suggestion you may have.

Thanks!
