Improve declare_dependency() example in Generating-sources.md [skip ci]

By using private_dir_include() instead of enumerating headers in sources
of declare_dependency. Much more convenient, especially when there are
many headers.

Found out about this by reading #4638. It is not documented anywhere as

```meson
idep_foo = declare_dependency(
sources : [foo_h, bar_h],
include_directories : libfoo.private_dir_include(),
link_with : [libfoo],
)
```
Adding the static library's private include directory to
`include_directories` of `declare_dependency` will make sure all headers
are generated before any sources of a target linking against libfoo are
built.
See [dependencies](Dependencies.md#declaring-your-own), and
[reference](Reference-manual.md#decalre_dependency) for more information.
