Subject: [PATCH] meson: fix regression in detecting freetype2/icu-uc when
 explicitly disabled

In #3811 / commit 53a194aa3f5f7de0b40e879e41fcbe0de6e9fefe a broken and
half-implemented approach to kind of sort of handling the detection of
both pkg-config and cmake names for dependencies, was implemented. It
just checked for both versions with required: false, but when the build
was configured with *disabled* options, it was still found because it
was treated as auto.

Really, the problem here is trying to outsmart Meson, which handles a
lot of edge cases correctly. But it's possible, albeit very wordy, to
manually implement Meson's internal logic via if/else fallbacks. Do so
here.
