`.wrap` file without `*_url` to specify a local source / patch file. All local
files must be located in the `subprojects/packagefiles` directory. The `*_hash`
entries are optional with this setup.

+## Local wrap patch directory

+Wrap files can now specify `patch_directory` instead of `patch_filename` in the
+case overlay files are local. Every files in that directory, and subdirectories,
+will be copied to the subproject directory. This can be used for example to add
+`meson.build` files to a project not using Meson build system upstream.
+The patch directory must be placed in `subprojects/packagefiles` directory.
