Complete the Meson options and match CMake's compile definitions

Finish the Meson changes from #4452:

- Offer all eight options that change the CMake target, named like the
  CMake options without the JSON_ prefix. MultipleHeaders defaults to
  false so that existing Meson users keep the single header.
- Add a compile definition only for an option that differs from its
  default, exactly as target_compile_definitions does. Before, the
  GlobalUDLs and ImplicitConversions definitions were inverted and were
  also added in the default configuration.
- Keep the nlohmann_json_multiple_headers dependency that earlier
  versions of meson.build provided.
- Put the definitions into the pkg-config file and the Meson-generated
  nlohmann_jsonTargets.cmake, and install the pkg-config file into
  <datadir>/pkgconfig like CMake does.
- Ship meson_options.txt in include.zip, since meson.build now reads
  options and the zip is documented as a Meson subproject.
