Update meson settings to eliminate deprecated functions. Set minimum Meson version to 1.3.1 to match Ubuntu 24 and OpenSUSE Leap 15.6.

### Install Dependencies
GameMode depends on `meson` for building and `systemd` for internal communication. This repo contains a `bootstrap.sh` script to allow for quick install to the user bus, but check `meson_options.txt` for custom settings.

already have a C development environment (gcc or clang, libc-devel, etc) installed.
#### Ubuntu/Debian
Note: Debian 13 and Ubuntu 25.04 (and later) need to install `systemd-dev` in addition to the dependencies below.

On Ubuntu 18.04, you'll need to install `python3` package and install the latest meson version from `pip`.
On Debian 12 and Ubuntu 22 (and earlier), you'll need to install `python3` and `python3-venv` packages to install the latest meson version from `pip`.

Note: Older versions of RHEL (and variants) cannot build gamemode due to not exposing libdbus-1 to pkg-config.

You must have [EPEL](https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/epel/getting-started/) enabled to install all dependencies.

#### Nix
Similar to Gentoo, nixOS already has a package for gamemode, so we can use that to setup an environment:
```bash

### Build and Install GameMode
Then clone, build and install a release version of GameMode at 1.8.2:
