Eli Schwartz d6a5c57727 * meson.build: Optimize lookup for `python3` program.
The python module's `find_installation` method is intended to provide
routines for compiling and installing python modules into the
`site-packages` directory.  It does a couple of slow things, including run
an introspection command to scrape sysconfig info from the detected
interpreter, which are not needed for the sole use case of invoking the
found installation as an executable.

Furthermore, when invoked without the name or path of a python binary, it is
hardcoded to always look for `python3` corresponding to the interpreter
meson itself uses to run.  So using `find_installation` did not even allow
detecting `python2` as a fallback.

Instead, switch to a simple `find_program` lookup that finishes as soon as
the program is found.

README

FreeType 2.11.1
===============

Homepage: https://www.freetype.org

FreeType is a freely available software library to render fonts.

It  is  written  in  C,   designed  to  be  small,  efficient,  highly
customizable,  and portable  while capable  of producing  high-quality
output (glyph images) of most vector and bitmap font formats.

Please   read  the   `docs/CHANGES`   file,   it  contains   IMPORTANT
INFORMATION.

Read the files `docs/INSTALL*`  for installation instructions; see the
file `docs/LICENSE.TXT` for the available licenses.

For using FreeType's git repository  instead of a distribution bundle,
please read file `README.git`.

The FreeType 2 API reference is located in directory `docs/reference`;
use the file  `index.html` as the top entry point.   [Please note that
currently  the search  function  for  locally installed  documentation
doesn't work due to cross-site scripting issues.]

Additional documentation is  available as a separate  package from our
sites.  Go to

  https://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/freetype/

and download one of the following files.

  freetype-doc-2.11.1.tar.xz
  freetype-doc-2.11.1.tar.gz
  ftdoc2111.zip

Mailing Lists
-------------

The preferred  way of  communication with the  FreeType team  is using
e-mail lists.

  general use and discussion:      freetype@nongnu.org
  engine internals, porting, etc.: freetype-devel@nongnu.org
  announcements:                   freetype-announce@nongnu.org
  git repository tracker:          freetype-commit@nongnu.org

The lists are moderated; see

  https://www.freetype.org/contact.html

how to subscribe.


Bugs
----

Please submit bug reports at

  https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/freetype/freetype/-/issues

Alternatively,    you    might    report    bugs    by    e-mail    to
`freetype-devel@nongnu.org`.    Don't  forget   to  send   a  detailed
explanation of the problem -- there  is nothing worse than receiving a
terse message that only says 'it doesn't work'.


Patches
-------

For larger changes please provide merge requests at

  https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/freetype/freetype/-/merge_requests

Alternatively, you can send patches to the `freetype-devel@nongnu.org`
mailing list  -- and thank you  in advance for your  work on improving
FreeType!

Details on the process can be found here:
