meson: set minimum Meson version to 0.56.0

[blmaier]

Set the minimum required version of Meson based on the highest version feature used, as detected by meson-setup.

• 0.50.0: {'Python module path method', 'include_directories kwarg of type string'}

When I try a meson build with this patch I get an error:

Looks like this needs an update.

As noted above, this appears to need an update.

I was missing swig from my environment, so it was skipping over the pylibfdt/meson.build. Fixed on my end, and verified it's hitting all meson.build files now. Version 0.56.0 is working on my end now.

Of note, I am seeing some deprecated feature warnings now. They don't break anything in the current build, but if I get a chance, I'll see about opening a PR for them.

Ok, here too. Merged.

That would be good, thanks.
