Subject: [PATCH] meson: allow disabling building test executables

They should not be built when cross-compiling and we don't have an exe_wrapper.
They can't be run directly. They may be used on another machine, so it should be
possible to force it.

Disabled on Windows for now as we can't run them because they rely on alarm().
