meson: use absolute cross-compiler paths

Browse Source 
Among the files generated by meson is compile_commands.json. It is not
used by bitbake during the build. However, if the devtool workspace is
opened inside an IDE, that IDE can use compile_commands.json to
configure linting and code completion. This is notably relied on by the
new devtool ide-sdk command.

The problem is that the IDE using compile_commands.json does not know
the $PATH set-up by bitbake, so it won't find the compiler. This results
in linting errors, like missing headers. We can fix this by expliciting
the absolute compiler paths in meson.cross.

The compile_commands.json specification expressly states:
"All paths specified in the command or file fields must be either
absolute or relative to this directory."
Link: https://clang.llvm.org/docs/JSONCompilationDatabase.html

An alternative way to implement this is to directly change CXX inside
bitbake.conf to make all recipes use absolute compiler paths.Since this
would affect all recipes, so I would like to have the maintainers'
opinion on this. It could make sense to use absolute compiler paths for
all toolchain binaries, we already do so for the sysroot
TOOLCHAIN_OPTIONS.

Discussions have been opened with meson/ninja maintainers to implement
this at their level:
 - https://github.com/ninja-build/ninja/issues/2383
 - https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/12834
These tools have even less information on the environment so it makes
sense for Yocto to provide the absolute paths.
