[PATCH] passt: Declare dependency on gio

[PATCH] passt: Declare dependency on gio

[Peter Maydell]

The passt network backend uses gio; declare this dependency in
meson.build, so we don't try to build it if configured with
--disable-gio or if gio is not present.

Sorry, I should have searched the list and saved myself some
time :-)  I'll pick your patch up via target-arm.next.
