If you really want to be sure to always find python3 when running Meson (and not some other implementation like [Muon](https://muon.build)) it is a bit better to use `find_program('python3')`, as described in https://mesonbuild.com/Reference-manual_functions.html#find_program : "if the "python3" program is requested and it is not found in the system, Meson will return its current interpreter

A recent PR broken the JsonChecker tests by adding support for trailing
commas. This didn't end up breaking the build, because those tests
aren't run, except locally and only using CMake.
This patch fixes the tests by adding exclusions for trailing comma
tests, as well as updates Meson to run these tests as part of `ninja
test`.
See issue #1102.
* Modernize meson.build
* Make tests optional
* Use `files()` for quick sanity checks
* Bump version to 1.9.3
* Bump SOVERSION, as some functions were removed
and structs were changed, as determined by
libabigail.
```
DEPRECATION: Project targetting '>= 0.41.1' but tried to use feature deprecated since '0.48.0': python3 module
Build targets in project: 3
WARNING: Deprecated features used:
* 0.48.0: {'python3 module'}
```
This patch fixes a build issue on CMake, presumably due to the new glibc
having a features.h include file. This patch renames our features.h file
to avoid a name collision.
* Cleanup versioning strategy
Currently, versioning is a mess. CMake and Meson have seperate build
version number storage locations, with no way of knowing you need to
have both. Plus, due to recent revisions the amalgamate script is broken
unless you build first, and may still be broken afterwards.
This PR fixes some issues with versioning, and adds comments clarifying
what has to be done when doing a release.
* Run clang format
* Update SOVERSION....

Currently, we have a build type warning due to listing a requirement for
meson build version that doesn't implement features we use in our build
file. The minimum meson build version required is actually 0.50.0, so
this PR updates our meson.build file to depend on 0.50.0.
