The horrible hack with the curl_meson subproject is needed since the libcurl dependency generated by libcurl's cmake build system (via meson's cmake module) includes its internal files its include_directories, which shadows certain other includes. So instead we manually replace the include_directories with the correct ones, taken from a separate meson subproject. This needs an additional wrap file, but it points to the same subproject directory in order to prevent there being multiple downloads of the same libcurl source that could go out of sync at some point.
