    gnu: meson-for-build: Remove package.
    
    The meson-for-build package doesn't carry any special patch anymore; it
    appears to be obsolete.
    
    * gnu/packages/build-tools.scm (meson-for-build): Remove variable.
    * guix/build-system/meson.scm (default-meson): Use meson.
    * doc/guix.texi (Build Systems): Update doc.
