[PULL 22/37] configure: consistently pass CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS/LDFLAGS to meson

[Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>]

Environment variables like CFLAGS are easy to accidentally change.  Meson
warns if that happens, but in a project with a lot of configuration that
is easy to lose.  It is also surprising behavior since meson caches -D
options and remembers those on reconfiguration (which we rely on,
since configure options become -D options).

By placing the user-provided CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS in the
cross file, we at least get consistent behavior.  These environment
variables are still ugly and not really recommended, but there are
distros that rely on them.  For the gory details, refer to
https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/4664.
