The ninja path is already logged as part of configure. Logging it
again every time when using meson compile is overly verbose and
doesn't add much value for the user.
I wrote this to convert run_tests.get_backend_commands() over to the
new meson wrappers, but that turned out to be harder than I expected,
so just splitting this out for now.
This allows the NINJA environment variable to support all the Windows special
cases, especially allowing an absolute path without extension.

This matches `meson test`, and there's really no other meaning that
could be attributed to this, since you would call `meson` to get the
version, not the `compile` sub-command.
D lang compilers have an option -release (or similar) which turns off
asserts, contracts, and other runtime type checking. This patch wires
that up to the b_ndebug flag.
Fixes#7082
With this running `meson compile` inside the builddir actually works,
and you don't have to do `meson compile -C .`
Clearly this was the intent since the option already has `default='.'`
