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.

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.

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.
