This commit broke VPATH builds when the original source directory
contains symlinks.

The $PWD is /home/myon/postgresql/pg/master, but the actual directory
is /home/myon/projects/postgresql/pg/postgresql. When I
mkdir build; cd build && ../configure
there, I get a build directory missing a lot of files/directories:

$ ls build/
config.log config.status* GNUmakefile meson.build src/
$ ls build/src/
backend/ include/ interfaces/ Makefile.global Makefile.port@
$ ls build/src/backend/
port/

Given there are no other changes I think this bit is at fault:

+# Ensure that any meson build directories would reconfigure and see that
+# there's a conflicting in-tree build and can error out.
+if test "$vpath_build"="no"; then
+ touch meson.build
+fi
