meson: Basic meson support (#299)

* meson: Basic meson support

With this patch, CLI11 can be used as a meson
subproject: http://mesonbuild.com/Subprojects.html

However, CMake is still required for testing and
installation. The current meson.build is not a
complete replacement.

* meson: Added meson test

* Adding Azure test
