Motivation

This was lost in the switch to the new build system. -O3 provides around a 10% performance gain compared to -O2, see e.g. nix-env.qaAggressive.time in https://hydra.nixos.org/job/nix/master/metrics.nixpkgs#tabs-charts.

In addition, this PR reduces the amount of Meson boilerplate by merging a couple of build-utils-meson subdirs into build-utils-meson/common.

LGTM, superficially.

…common

This reduces the amount of boilerplate. More importantly, it provides
a place to add compiler flags (such as -O3) without having to add it
to every subproject (and the risk of forgetting to include it).
