Buildroot commit 72c7d99e22eb7706e413992cf7084438fea657bb switched the
build system to meson which causes an error during configure:

output/build/libvips-8.17.2/meson.build:108:4:
ERROR: Problem encountered: GModule is not supported on your system,
please reconfigure with -Dmodules=disabled

using this defconfig:

BR2_arm=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_CUSTOM=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_DOWNLOAD=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_URL="http://autobuild.buildroot.org/toolchains/tarballs/br-arm-full-static-2020.11.2.tar.bz2"
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_GCC_9=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_HEADERS_4_4=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_LOCALE=y
# BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_HAS_THREADS_DEBUG is not set
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_CXX=y
BR2_STATIC_LIBS=y
BR2_PACKAGE_LIBVIPS=y

Added configure options for -Dmodules to fix the problem which was not
yet caught by the autobuilders.
