This patch adds a new meson built-in option for cython, allowing it to
target C++ instead of C as the intermediate language. This can, of
course, be done on a per-target basis using the `override_options`
keyword argument, or for the entire project in the project function.
There are some things in this patch that are less than ideal. One of
them is that we have to add compilers in the build layer, but there
isn't a better place to do it because of per target override_options.
There's also some design differences between Meson and setuptools, in
that Meson only allows options on a per-target rather than a per-file
granularity.
