Add example of using glib-genmarshal with Meson

Browse Source 
We're using Meson for GLib itself, and we recommend people to use it
for their own projects, so it would be good to have our documentation
present examples on how to use Meson with our tools.

<para>
Meson supports generating closure marshallers using <command>glib-genmarshal</command>
out of the box in its "gnome" module.
</para>
<para>
In your <filename>meson.build</filename> file you will typically call the
<literal>gnome.genmarshal()</literal> method with the source list of marshallers
to generate:
</para>
<informalexample><programlisting>
gnome = import('gnome')
marshal_files = gnome.genmarshal('marshal',
sources: 'marshal.list',
internal: true,
)
</programlisting></informalexample>
<para>
The <literal>marshal_files</literal> variable will contain an array of two elements
in the following order:
</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>a build target for the source file</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>a build target for the header file</para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>
You should use the returned objects to provide a dependency on every other
build target that references the source or header file; for instance, if you
are using the source to build a library:
</para>
<informalexample><programlisting>
mainlib = library('project',
sources: project_sources + marshal_files,
...
)
</programlisting></informalexample>

In order to use <command>glib-genmarshal</command> in your project when using
Autotools as the build system, you will first need to modify your
