After libxfce4ui upgrade to 4.21.x, its pkgconfig moves gtk+-3.0
to Requires.private, so the linker no longer automatically pulls in
libgtk-3. This causes an undefined reference to 'gtk_combo_box_set_model'
when linking xfce-polkit.
Add patch for explicit PKG_CHECK_MODULES for gtk+-3.0 in configure.ac and wire
GTK3_CFLAGS/GTK3_LIBS into src/Makefile.am.

After libxfce4ui upgrade to 4.21.x, its pkgconfig sets
libxfce4util as Requires.private, so the linker no longer
automatically pulls in libxfce4util. This causes an undefined
reference to 'xfce_textdomain' when linking xfce4-datetime-settings.
Add patch for libxfce4util-1.0 and common_deps (gtk+-3.0 etc.) as explicit
dependencies in xfce/meson.build.

When libxfce4ui is upgrade to 4.21.x, pkgconfig sets private flags by
default and no longer exposes libxfce4util flags. This causes build
failures in xfwm4 settings-dialogs due to missing CFLAGS and LIBS.
Backport upstream fix to add LIBXFCE4UTIL_CFLAGS and
LIBXFCE4UTIL_LIBS to settings-dialogs/Makefile.am.

xfce4-panel 4.21.x added include guards to libxfce4panel sub-headers,
requiring consumers to include <libxfce4panel/libxfce4panel.h> instead
of individual headers like <libxfce4panel/xfce-panel-plugin.h>.
Since there is no new upstream release with this fix, add
-DLIBXFCE4PANEL_COMPILATION to CFLAGS as a workaround to bypass the
include guard check.

Switch from autotools to meson build system. The upstream 4.20.1 source
already ships a meson.build.
libxfce4ui 4.21.7 moved libxfce4util-1.0 from Requires to
Requires.private in its pkg-config file, so pkg-config --libs
libxfce4ui-2 no longer emits -lxfce4util. This causes DSO missing
link errors for autotools consumers that use libxfce4util symbols
but rely on libxfce4ui to pull in the link dependency. The meson
build correctly declares libxfce4util in its own dependencies,
avoiding this issue.
Add PACKAGECONFIG[tests] (disabled by default)
