e04d2f230d meson: remove incorrect and unneeded check for ptrdiff_t
Need to include stddef.h for it, so this would've worked:
if cc.has_type('ptrdiff_t', prefix: '#include <stddef.h>')

https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson

With contributions from:

Tim-Philipp Müller <tim@centricular.com>
Mathieu Duponchelle <mathieu.duponchelle@opencreed.com>
Jussi Pakkanen <jpakkane@gmail.com> (original port)

Highlights of the features provided are:
* Faster builds on Linux (~40-50% faster)
* The ability to build with MSVC on Windows
* Generate Visual Studio project files
* Generate XCode project files
* Much faster builds on Windows (on-par with Linux)
* Seriously fast configure and building on embedded

... and many more. For more details see:

Building with Meson should work on both Linux and Windows, but may
need a few more tweaks on other operating systems.
