Philip Withnall 5370df540c ci: Use Meson 1.0.0 on Windows and macOS CI builds
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.

CI support stuff

Docker image

GitLab CI jobs run in a Docker image, defined here. To update that image (perhaps to install some more packages):

  1. Edit .gitlab-ci/*.Dockerfile with the changes you want
  2. Run .gitlab-ci/run-docker.sh build --base=debian-stable --base-version=1 to build the new image (bump the version from the latest listed for that base on https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/container_registry). If rebuilding the coverity.Dockerfile image, youll need to have access to Coverity Scan and will need to specify your project name and access token as the environment variables COVERITY_SCAN_PROJECT_NAME and COVERITY_SCAN_TOKEN.
  3. Run .gitlab-ci/run-docker.sh push --base=debian-stable --base-version=1 to upload the new image to the GNOME GitLab Docker registry
    • If this is the first time you're doing this, you'll need to log into the registry
    • If you use 2-factor authentication on your GNOME GitLab account, you'll need to create a personal access token and use that rather than your normal password — the token should have read_registry and write_registry permissions
  4. Edit .gitlab-ci.yml (in the root of this repository) to use your new image
