doc: Recommend tags for libraries utilities
GLib installs a few executables that are not needed by applications that
use the glib libraries, but are used either by build systems or by user
scripts. Debian splits them into libglib2.0-dev-bin and libglib2.0-bin
packages. Another example is GStreamer tools (e.g. gst-launch-1.0) that
Debian packages separately in gstreamer1.0-tools.
It is common enough that Meson documentation should recommend a tag for
consistency across projects.
