meson: Increase minimum version to 0.57.2

The previous minimum was to maintain support for Python 3.5, but we
now require Python 3.6 anyway (commit 45363fca637), so that reason is
obsolete.  A small raise to Meson 0.57 allows getting rid of a fair
amount of version conditionals and silences some future-deprecated
warnings.

With the version bump, the following deprecation warnings appeared and
are fixed:

WARNING: Project targets '>=0.57' but uses feature deprecated since '0.55.0': ExternalProgram.path. use ExternalProgram.full_path() instead
WARNING: Project targets '>=0.57' but uses feature deprecated since '0.56.0': meson.build_root. use meson.project_build_root() or meson.global_build_root() instead.

It turns out that meson 0.57.0 and 0.57.1 are buggy for our use, so
the minimum is actually set to 0.57.2.  This is specific to this
version series; in the future we won't necessarily need to be this
precise.
