Eventually this should be merged into the GSG doc, once it's more
complete and less experimental. However, for V2, I will move this doc
into the "doc/" subdirectory where there is a "build-sdk-quick.txt" doc,
and rename this as "build-sdk-meson.txt".

As for the other comments, they will be fixed in V2.

Thanks for the good review.
