Never thought to look this up on the original patchset, but looking at the
meson docs, the compiler object already had a "get_id" method to identify
the compiler. We can use it rather than use checking for explicit defines
ourselves.  Using get_id() also allows us to identify icc and possibly
visual studio compiler for future windows compilation too.
