  1. meson: drop broken split-usr handling

    Two issues here:
    
    * The 'split-usr' meson option wasn't doing anything, it tried to check
      if /bin was a symlink, but nothing acted on this information.
    
    * The actual rootprefix default was decided based on whether /bin was a symlink
      which is flaky if e.g. building on a merged-usr system for use on a non-merged-usr
      system.
    
    People can set -Drootprefix=/usr if they wish.
    
    There's no real advantage to installing to /usr over / as the compat. symlinks
    are really here to stay. If someone really does care about this, they can bring
    it back and do it properly, but it doesn't seem worth it to me at all.
