Add an integration test and debug issues with the meson backend (#2718)

Browse Source 
* Add an integration test with the meson backend

* Modify script to allow testing of the GHA action on a PR

* Try adding cython to languages in meson config

* Revert "Try adding cython to languages in meson config"

This reverts commit 50378a1c7e38665492ad0c683b178e4d96928e1e.

* Pass --vsenv to meson on windows

As seen here https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/blob/9957c394bd01deb7a9bd9cb27804f447a52dc522/.github/workflows/cibuildwheel.yml#L114

* Disable win32 builds for the meson test

* Move the windows-specific config into the test project definition

This is so it can be tested with bin/run_example_ci_configs.py

* Add some docs to the FAQ about meson on windows

* Update bin/run_example_ci_configs.py

(Note the `*_ONLY_BINARY` variable also supports `":all:"`, and you don't need both that and `*_PREFER_BINARY`, you can use either one, depending on if you want a missing wheel to be a failure or an attempt to build in CI.)
### Building with Meson-Python on Windows
Meson generally works well with cibuildwheel, but there are a few things to be aware of:
- On GitHub Actions, the compiler that's chosen by default on Windows is often the MinGW compiler, rather than the MSVC toolchain that Python was compiled with.
The simplest fix for this is to configure cibuildwheel to pass the `--vsenv` flag to meson, like this:
```toml
[tool.cibuildwheel.windows]
config-settings = { "setup-args" = "--vsenv" }
```
- If you need to build 32-bit Windows wheels, you need to activate a 32-bit compiler toolchain before starting cibuildwheel. Many users use [ilammy/msvc-dev-cmd](https://github.com/ilammy/msvc-dev-cmd) for this purpose.
### Automatic updates using Dependabot {: #automatic-updates}
Selecting a moving target (like the latest release) is generally a bad idea in CI. If something breaks, you can't tell whether it was your code or an upstream update that caused the breakage, and in a worst-case scenario, it could occur during a release.
