Sadly, unlike autotools where the option name comes from a common m4
macro, this is not going to work with meson. There is no common ground
between upstreams on how to name this option, and so you get 'gir',
'with_introspection' and anything in between.

A better approach would be to introduce a variable:

GIR_MESON_OPTION ?= 'introspection'

and override it in recipes as needed.
