Meson doesn't interpret what's set in CFLAGS, but rather simply appeds
it to the command line. Thus any logic which is based on the
optimization level will not work.
Note the caveat in the docs and instruct users to use
``--optimization=N`` instead.

Use the explicit meson "setup" command instead of the deprecated
implicit invocation. The implied setup usage generates a warning with
meson version 1.0.1:
WARNING: Running the setup command as `meson [options]` instead of
`meson setup [options]` is ambiguous and deprecated.
Additionally the implicit command is likely to be confusing to those
unfamiliar with Meson - the `build` argument in `meson build` resembles
an action rather than an arbitrary path.

Only the preparation of sources differs between a build from a git
checkout vs a build from tarball. Restructure the docs to outline the
difference and combine information on how to configure libvirt.
Most notably the suggestion to use '-Dsystem=true' was present only for
the steps to build a git checkout.
Suggest also running the testsuite as part of the build step.

Create a section for instructions on how to install the built binaries
rather than mentioning it multiple times.
Add a note that installing over your distro-provided packages will most
likely break your instalation.

Users should be encouraged to install libvirt from the distro's repos in
the first place.
Also encourage distro-specific ways to get newer versions, rather than
