build-sys: Remove autotools

[cgwalters]

meson is better, basically.

Closes: https://github.com/containers/composefs/issues/301

LGTM. Can we remove the spec file too, as we're not doing the version replace during dist anyway.

Hmm...I personally don't like maintaining spec files in upstream (any more than debian/rules or bitbake recipes, etc...). But that said https://packit.dev/ which is used by other container projects seems to prefer this (although I think it can fetch from the relevant distro dist-gits too).

For now I just made a best effort to update it, but I actually tried updating the fedora spec, and I needed to do this FTR:

I also stumbled on the fact that while we tried to do meson in 1.0.5, I built the release with autotools and we didn't dist the meson rules in the tarball...we could fix that of course, but probably better to just pull the trigger on this.
