Maybe I can't read this patch correctly, but from it, and the message
description, I understand that -optional is a pure Makefile abstraction,
and does not reflect any real meson suite.

```
This modifies mtest2make.py to support this idea by allowing for a new
suffix '-optional' on a suite. When this is present, a correspondingly
named make target will be created without the '-optional' suffix which
will never be run automatically.
```
