doc: avoid meson deprecation in setup

The command "meson build" causes a deprecation warning with meson 0.64.0.

WARNING: Running the setup command as `meson [options]` instead of
`meson setup [options]` is ambiguous and deprecated.

Therefore fix the examples in the documentation.

config: enable/disable drivers in Arm builds

Add support for enabling or disabling drivers for Arm cross build. Do
not implement any enable/disable lists yet.

Enabling drivers is useful when building for an SoC where we only want
to build a few drivers. That way the list won't be too long.

Similarly, disabling drivers is useful when we want to disable only a
few drivers.

Both of these are advantageous mainly in aarch64 -> aarch64 (or arch ->
same arch) builds, where the build machine may have the required driver
dependencies, yet we don't want to build drivers for a specific SoC.

If enable_drivers is a non-empty list, build only those drivers,
otherwise build all drivers and add them to enable_drivers. If
disable_drivers is non-empty list, build all drivers specified in
enable_drivers except those in disable_drivers.

There are two drivers, bus/pci and bus/vdev, which break the build if
not enabled. Address this by always enabling these if the user disables
them or doesn't specify in their allowlist.

Also remove the old Makefile arm configuration options which don't do
anything in Meson.

mk: use linux and freebsd in config names

Rather than using linuxapp and bsdapp everywhere, we can change things to
use the, more readable, terms "linux" and "freebsd" in our build configs.
Rather than renaming the configs we can just duplicate the existing ones
with the new names using symlinks, and use the new names exclusively
internally. ["make showconfigs" also only shows the new names to keep the
list short] The result is that backward compatibility is kept fully but any
new builds or development can be done using the newer names, i.e. both
"make config T=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc" and "T=x86_64-native-linux-gcc"
work.
