  To: buildroot

With autoconf packages, we often specify ac_cv_func_... cached values to
avoid runtime checks during configure.  With meson the equivalent is
setting properties in cross-compilation.conf which we cannot do in
Buildroot at the moment.

For example, libglib2 used to set ac_cv_func_printf_unix98 and
ac_cv_func_vsnprintf_c99 so that the system printf could be used, but
with the conversion to meson these checks fail and the gnulib fallback
is used.

Add infrastructure in the same way as FOO_MESON_EXTRA_BINARIES to allow
per-package modification to the cross-compilation properties.
