bug#51946: GNOME Builder is criminally outdated on core-updates-frozen

Hi!

Yay!

(To be clear: the problem is when GNOME Builder itself invokes ‘meson’,
and ‘meson’ doesn’t find its own Python modules because PYTHONPATH is
unset.)

You mentioned on IRC that the comment saying we can’t use
‘wrap-program’ for Meson:

          ;; Meson calls the various executables in out/bin through the
          ;; Python interpreter, so we cannot use the shell wrapper.

Maybe we can use ‘wrap-script’ instead?  A wrapped Python script remains
a Python script.
