Add support for multiple (cmake, scons, meson) build systems to the configure'' ice.

[psprint]

Description

User can rely on autodetection (by a test for build file of a given system, like meson.build) or request a run of a particular system by specifying a flag:

• c-cmake
• s-scons
• m-meson
• 0-default (configure)

…plus the previous flags:

• #-always run ./autogen.sh
• !-execute before make'!'

Then follow options to be passed to the build system command, e.g.: configure'!#0 --help' will show configure's help message and try to run ./autogen.sh, too (and also run before make'!' because of ! flag).

Some systems, like scons, may build the project instantly, without need for the make'' ice.

Motivation and Context

configure'' ice is a good point to hook up with various build systems handling. Basically, via the configure ice the user shouldn't bother what build system the cloned project has – it will be autodetected to be one of autotools, cmake, scons or meson – and then run with the PREFIX set to $ZPFX appropriately.

Usage examples

# Run meson help screen
zi configure"m --help" for zdharma-continuum/null

# Run configure help screen
zi configure"0 --help" for zdharma-continuum/null

# Run cmake help screen
zi configure"c --help" for zdharma-continuum/null

# Build and install GLib into $ZPFX (meson build)
zi id-as null configure make"install" cloneopts"--depth=1" for GNOME/glib

How Has This Been Tested?

I've cloned a CMake and Autotools shared project multiple times plugging different flags.
