Actually its the other way around. In the next patch in this series
we create meson suites like  "block-nbd-optional" and that gets turned
into a makefile target  "check-block-nbd". The "optional" part of the
meson suite name determines that "check-block-nbd" is NOT added as a
depedency of "check".  IOW, it doesn't get run by "make check", but
must be optionally run through "make check-block-nbd" when needed.

With regards,
Daniel
