Because it was never directly called by applications - and so unneeded from
the linkers viewpoint - but still needed to be linked in to allow apps to
support emitting telemetry data. Therefore it was needed to add it
explicitly because it was never in the required dependency list for each
app.

This wasn't needed for make, since all libs were always linked into make
builds. The previous patch in this set changes meson to behave that way
too.
