Meson: Add glib_checks and glib_asserts options

In cases where performance are critical it can be useful to disable
checks and asserts. GStreamer has those options too, using the same name
and setting them yielding means we can set those options on the main
project (e.g. gst-build) and glib will inherit the same value when built
as subproject.

 Besides these, there are some local feature specific options, but my main
 focus here is to concentrate on macros that affect overall GLib behaviour
