I'm afraid that meson is not good choice for us. LTP has to be able to
be compiled everywhere even on ten years old distribution and very
restricted embedded devices, hence I would like us to stay on the most
common and stable build system tooling out there. Which is plain old
make.

And the main problem with our build system is not the tooling we choose,
but the complexity imposed by the out-of-tree build implemented in the
complex makefiles. As far as I can tell 99% of the problems would be
solved by ripping out out-of-tree support, which would remove most of
the code we have in there.

I will double check the code, before adding my final reviewed-by.

Also this is a step number one. I think that we should enable the
realtime compilation by default and the sched_football should be added
to the scheduller runtest file as well, so that it's executed by default
as well.
