Fallback to clang in PATH with meson
Some distributions put clang into a different path than the llvm
binary path.
For example, this is the case on NixOS / nixpkgs, which failed to find
clang with meson before this patch.
I think this is a bad change unfortunately - this way clang and llvm version
can mismatch. Yes, we've done it that way for autoconf, but back then LLVM
broke compatibility far less often.

Fallback to uuid for ossp-uuid with meson
The upstream name for the ossp-uuid package / pkg-config file is
"uuid". Many distributions change this to be "ossp-uuid" to not
conflict with e2fsprogs.
This lookup fails on distributions which don't change this name, for
example NixOS / nixpkgs. Both "ossp-uuid" and "uuid" are also checked
in configure.ac.

meson: Add support for detecting ossp-uuid without pkg-config
This is necessary as ossp-uuid on windows installs neither a pkg-config nor a
cmake dependency information. Nor is there another supported uuid
implementation available on windows.
