meson: Stop using deprecated way getting path of files
The just released meson 1.3 strongly deprecated a hack we were using, emitting
a noisy warning (the hack basically depended on an implementation detail to
work). Turns out there has been a better way available for a while, I just
hadn't found it. 1.4 added a more convenient approach, but we can't rely on
that.
