457f4e6e1e meson: Don't check whether /usr/local/bin/grep is GNU grep
Since /usr/local is where ports live, it's reasonable to assume
that a grep binary found in there will have been installed via
ports and will thus be GNU grep.

8526abc454 meson: Look for GNU tools on macOS too
macOS is similar to FreeBSD in that it ships non-GNU versions
of several utilities that we need in the base system.

macOS actually includes GNU make already, but unfortunately due
to licensing reasons the tool is permanently stuck in 2006, so
even in that case users are better off installing a recent
version from Homebrew along with the dozens of other libvirt
dependencies that already need to be obtained that way.

Note that, unlike FreeBSD ports, Homebrew is fully consistent
in adding the 'g' prefix to the name of the GNU tools, so we
can detect GNU grep without additional hacks.

7cbcc9f888 meson: Check GNU sed's availability
As explained in the comment in build-aux/Makefile.in, the
version of sed included in the FreeBSD base system is not GNU
sed, which our syntax-check rules expect; as a result, many
checks will fail with

  gmake: gsed: No such file or directory
  /bin/sh: gsed: not found

Similarly to what we're already doing with GNU make and GNU
grep, look for GNU sed during the configuration step and fail
early if it's not available.

5254532e3a meson: Reorganize looking for programs
While this change doesn't look like it would improve things and
actually introduces a tiny bit of duplication, it's necessary in
order to prepares the stage for further changes.

6a023e943e meson: Print custom message when GNU grep is not installed
Currently, if GNU grep is not installed on a FreeBSD system the
configuration step will fail with

  Program grep found: YES (/usr/bin/grep)
  Program /usr/local/bin/grep found: NO

  ERROR: Program '/usr/local/bin/grep' not found

which is confusing and not very useful; after this change, the
message will be

  Program grep found: YES (/usr/bin/grep)
  Program /usr/local/bin/grep found: NO

  ERROR: Problem encountered: GNU grep not found

instead, which should do a better job helping the user figure
out that they need to install GNU grep from ports to proceed.

7dd7ddac50 build-aux: require GNU grep on FreeBSD
FreeBSD 13.x and newer ship BSD grep which apparently has some
performance issues causing certain syntax check tests to run longer than
the default 30 seconds timeout used by meson.

However, GNU grep is still available through the textproc/gnugrep port,
so require it on FreeBSD if /usr/bin/grep is a BSD grep to make checks
pass in a reasonable time.

0c2aa5b513 meson: add syntax-check
This changes the approach used with autotools where it was separate make
target. With meson it will be part of the `meson test` target but can be
disabled using --no-suite syntax-check or we can run only syntax-check
by using --suite syntax-check.
