This commit changes meson_options.txt, but did not refresh the
scripts/meson-buildoptions.sh file, so it is sometimes showing
up dirty when doing a build.

Paolo, I feel like there must be some bug in the logic for triggering
a rebuild of scripts/meson-buildoptions.sh as contributors frequently
miss this change. With the current git HEAD, sometimes when I do a
build it'll refresh the file leaving it dirty, but if I discard all
local changes and do another build, then it doesn't refresh the file.
