backends: add a new "none" backend
It can only be used for projects that don't have any rules at all, i.e. they are purely using Meson to: - configure files - run (script?) tests - install files that exist by the end of the setup stage This can be useful e.g. for Meson itself, a pure python project.

+## New "none" backend
+

+build rules, only install rules. This avoids depending on ninja.
