Issue body
It would be nice if Snapcraft could build packages from projects that use the Meson build system.
Meson is quite similar to CMake but instead of
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/prefix -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
make
make DESTDIR=/dest install
you run
mkdir build
cd build
meson --prefix /prefix --buildtype release ..
ninja
DESTDIR=/dest ninja install
