Review and improve wrap creation docs #120

From https://github.com/mesonbuild/protobuf/issues/9 by @jmansion

Anyway - can we have some clear guidelines on how to prepare a pull request to fix issues? I'm quite happy about the patch downloads to be zips, but I'd rather the contents were plain and that also the wrap source could be redirected to a local filesystem. It seems a bit obfuscated at the moment, and clearly a wrap contributor seems to be under no obligation to test across many platform and compiler combinations.

A way to improve this is to create a tool that would prepare a workspace with the project source code extracted first and the wrap git repository replacing some of the files. That can be done as part of the mesonwrap toolkit.
