After upgrading to emacs-26.1-1.fc28.x86_64 I noticed that our
.dir-locals.el files weren't honoured anymore (specifically the fill
column variable is not correctly set for c-mode files). I finally
tracked this down to the order in which items are listed in
.dir-locals.el: if the "nil" one is listed last everything works,
otherwise, it's the one that is applied instead of the c-mode one.
This patch simply swaps the entries, and puts the "nil" one last. My
emacs lisp fu is a bit too limited to understand the full impact for
this, and why emacs 26.1 changed behaviour in this regard, but from an
outsider's view the order shouldn't negatively affect things otherwise,
hence this patch.
The indentation for emacs'es meson-mode is added .dir-locals.
All files are reindented automatically, using the lasest meson-mode from git.
Indentation should now be fairly consistent.
For all other files leave the line width at 79 as before. This is a good idea
since we generally don't want text files such as catalog files, unit files or
README/NEWS files to be line-broken at 119 since they are regularly browsed on
text terminals.
While we are at it, also add a couple of comments to the various files.
(Note that .editorconfig doesn't carry line-width information, simply because
the specification doesn't know the concept.)
Let's be a bit more precise with the editor configuration and specify a higher fill column of 119. This isn't as emacs'
default of 70, but also not particularly high on today's screens.
While we are at it, also set a couple of other emacs C coding style variables.

Hi,
maybe it makes sense to go in the opposite direction: add .dir-locals.el
in the top directory. The settings are actually identical in all .[ch]
files.
