For the same reasons as in commit 71061fdcb3, but in this
case we can’t downgrade the version of Meson on the CI runner, so just
tell it to shut up instead.

It’s still going to be used on the `glib-2-78` branch because the
dependencies there are frozen, but since it’s EOL it can’t have
additional dependencies (like the Python `packaging` package) installed
for `main`, so let’s drop it. We have the FreeBSD 13 runner on `main`.

This reverts commit 35ec6b6387.
The FreeBSD 13 CI runner now has the Python `packaging` package
installed, so should work again.
The FreeBSD 12 runner is EOL so can’t have that package installed, so
will be dropped from GLib `main` in the next commit.

Previously, `-Dman=false` was the default, because the generated man
pages were shipped in the distribution tarball already, so the option
actually mostly controlled whether to *re*build them.
The generated pages are no longer shipped in the tarball (and probably
haven’t been since the port to Meson, though I haven’t checked), so it
makes sense to change the default to encourage building the man pages if
the right tooling (`rst2man`) is available.

So they are consistent with the way we’re building man pages in other
projects, and because some people are allergic to XML.
This changes the build-time dependencies from `xsltproc` to `rst2man`,
and also takes the opportunity to change the `-Dman` Meson option from a
boolean to a feature (so you should use `-Dman-pages={enabled,disabled}`
now, rather than `-Dman={true,false}`).

Alpine 3.19 ships with Meson 1.3.0, which has broken handling of File
objects and their paths. This causes (as far as I can tell)
un-work-around-able breakage of GLib’s build.
See https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/5273#issuecomment-1851811417
That should be fixed in Meson 1.4.0, but that might not be released for
a while. Because we’re here to test GLib, not Meson, let’s pin the Meson
version in the Alpine CI image to 1.2.3, which we know works and is
reasonably up to date (and is what the other CI images use).

The `%E` modifier causes dates to be formatted using an alternative era
representation for years. This doesn’t do anything for most dates, but
in locales such as Thai and Japanese it causes years to be printed using
era names.
In Thai, this means the Thai solar calendar
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thai_solar_calendar). In Japanese, this
means Japanese era names
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_era_name).
The `%E` modifier syntax follows what’s supported in glibc — see
nl_langinfo(3).
Supporting this is quite involved, as it means loading the `ERA`
description from libc and parsing it.
Unit tests are included.

And update all the CI builds to use the latest micro release from that
series, 1.2.3.
This version bump means we can:
- Drop some backwards-compatibility Meson checks
- Fix a periodic CI failure caused by a now-fixed Meson bug
(https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/pull/10633)
It’s in line with our [Meson version policy](./docs/meson-version.md),
as Meson 1.2.1 is available in
[Debian Trixie](https://packages.debian.org/source/trixie/meson) and the
[freedesktop SDK](c95902f2ed/elements/components/meson.bst).

It’s intended to be used with Linux Docker images, and it assumes a
certain filesystem layout of the image being run (in particular, that it
has a `$HOME/subprojects` directory pre-populated with the subprojects
for glib.git). That’s not the case for Hurd, which is running on a
dedicated runner (not using Docker), so drop this include.

Since commit b9b7816e5a, the `pages` job
will still try to be run on `main` after an MR is merged, but will fail
because it depends on `coverage` and `style-check-advisory`, which are
no longer run on `main` after a merge.
See https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/pipelines/560680 for an
example failure.
Instead, make the `pages` job only run at the end of a scheduled CI run.
Its dependent jobs will have run then. This means that the ‘canonical’
code coverage report at
https://gnome.pages.gitlab.gnome.org/glib/coverage/ will be updated once
a week, rather than after every merge into `main`.

It’s almost a complete waste of time at the moment. For several reasons,
jobs flakily fail on it more often than they succeed. It’s wasting
resources, slowing down development and making people quite frustrated.

* https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/issues/2949

Nobody has stepped up to deal with the test or CI runner flakiness, or
generally maintain this CI runner. If someone does care about preventing
regressions for GLib on macOS, and can put time into making the CI
reliable, then this commit can be reverted.

MRs are already tested in CI before merge, so it’s redundant and a waste
of resources to test them again after merge.
In the rare case where something breaks post-merge (perhaps because
several MRs have been tested individually and merged, but interact with
each other badly), that’ll be caught in the weekly scheduled CI run.

This is a departure from our policy of using the minimum required Meson
version, but I think it might be worth a try to see if it fixes the
persistent intermittent build failures on these platforms due to what
looks like build dependency graph issues.
For example:
- https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/jobs/2579411
- https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/jobs/2578792
- https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/jobs/2579220
- https://gitlab.gnome.org/pwithnall/glib/-/jobs/2588507
I was looking at trying to diagnose some of these failures in order to
potentially file bugs against Meson, but the first step is really to
test against the latest version of Meson. So here we are.
Crucially, our other CI jobs continue to use the minimum Meson version
required by GLib, so we continue to test that GLib builds with its
minimum dependencies. I do not plan to change that.
Also crucially, this MR continues to use a specific Meson version,
rather than asking `pip` to install the latest available. Doing that
could lead to unexpected regressions in future, and that’s not what
GLib’s CI is meant to be testing for.

This reverts commit 91f14cd058.
The freedesktop SDK, which is used by gnome-build-meta, only has Meson
0.63. Bumping GLib’s Meson dependency to 0.64 means that, at the moment,
GLib is not buildable in gnome-build-meta and hence can’t be tested in
nightly pipelines against other projects, etc.
That’s bad for testing GLib.
It’s arguably bad that we’re restricted to using an older version of
Meson than shipped by Debian Testing, but that’s a separate discussion
to be had.
Revert the Meson 0.64 dependency until the freedesktop SDK ships Meson ≥
0.64. This also means reverting the simplifications to use of
`gnome.mkenum_simple()`.
