Fix meson executable

  • on my system meson is a link to python-exec2
    $ ls -ld $(which meson)
    /usr/bin/meson -> ../lib/python-exec/python-exec2
    The python2-exec must not be executed directly.
  • Currently the mesonExecutable is canonicalized, which also resolves symlinks. This causes the meson plugin to execute stuff like:
    $ python-exec2 --reconfigure
    instead of
    $ meson --reconfigure
    Fix this by not canonicalizing the mesonExecutable, validity is already checked earlier.
