It is not always needed to generate and install gmo files, for example
when building for Android or Windows that often doesn't have libintl to
use them anyway.
At least all GStreamer modules have this same option.
gio-querymodules-wrapper.py is copied from glib-networking. This python
wrapper script is needed because meson.build cannot check for DESTDIR
env variable itself, unlike Makefile.am. It is used to update
giomodule.cache file when installing GIO modules like fam.
This allows building with posix threads on Windows. It is generally
better to use win32 threads implementation on Windows, but this option
can be used in case it causes issues, or for performance comparison for
example.

By default, only build man pages and gtk-doc if the build-deps were
found. To force-enable, pass -Dwith-docs=yes and -Dwith-man=yes.
Also use a foreach loop for man pages instead of listing them all
manually
