    meson.build: Enable dllexport when possible in maintainer mode
    
    Note that this does not yet build pangomm with __declspec(dllexport), but
    paves the way for enabling such support eventually.
    
    This adds machinery to meson.build to check whether we can build pangomm
    without gendef.exe, by checking whether we are building against
    glibmm-2.64.0 or later.
    
    This is because we may be using glibmm before 2.64.0, which did not have the
    mechanics in gmmproc to generate the pangomm headers with decorations in the
    prototypes, which is necessary to properly build pangomm using
    __declspec(dllexport) and without gendef.exe
    
    Similar updates for release tarballs and NMake will follow later.
