meson: Warn when git is missing in non-dist builds

8b5060349a fixes the issue of version headers
not being available when building out of VCS tarball (without .git directory)
but we were getting `unknown (unsupported)` version still. Turns out the version
silently fell back to `unknown` when git was not available.

Let's warn the user when this is the case.

UNSUPPORTED BUILD!
This is not a distribution tarball (git-version.h missing) nor is it
a git repository. Therefore we have no reference for debugging.
This is not a distribution tarball (git-version.h missing) and
we could not establish the corresponding commit (either this is
not a git repository or git command is missing). Therefore
we have no reference for debugging.
Please either use release tarballs or build from the repository.
