[PATCH v2 4/5] configure: Get help text from meson_options.txt

[Thomas Huth]

It's cumbersome to maintain the option help texts twice, once in the
"configure" script and once in meson_options.txt. So let's add some logic to
the configure script to read most of the help texts from meson_options.txt.
