meson: Add options to set a RPATH/RUNPATH on the bwrap executable

This is useful when building a self-contained, relocatable tree
containing a build of bubblewrap and all of its non-glibc dependencies
(in practice this means libcap and maybe libselinux), as is done in
the Steam container runtime. A RPATH/RUNPATH pointing to ${ORIGIN}/../lib
allows bwrap to find an adjacent, bundled copy of libcap.
