We don't need to block older versions of Meson, and indeed we don't
want to because it's fine to use the distro package everywhere
(including Sonoma).  (So the subject would become would be
"buildsys: Bump known good meson version to v1.2.3).

You can look at sphinx below for another case where the accepted
versions are much older than the installed one.

If there's anything you'd like to add to the (just sent) documentation
to clarify this, please help.
