4fb02fc85b meson: Update option names to omit disable_ and with- prefixes
Also yield common options to the outer project (gst-build in our case)
so that they don't have to be set manually.

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