This series can't be merged until the (UNH and LoongArch) CI are ready
for such a change.

TL;DR: the meson minimum version is being changed from 0.53.2 to 0.57
in the current release.

@UNH @Min Zhou
How long would it take for all CI to be ready for this change?

Important note: if relevant to your CI, testing against LTS branches
must still be done with the 0.53.2 version, so no change relying on
post 0.53.2 meson feature gets backported.
