Subject: [PATCH] Handle build with older versions of GCC
Older versions of GCC (prior to 9.1) did not put the `std::filesystem`
support directly into libstdcpp, but in a separate `libstdc++fs`. Add
meson logic to detect if an extra linker flag is necessary.
Fixes #223.
Tested on AlmaLinux 8 which uses GCC-8.
