meson: build gir even when cross-compiling if introspection was enabled explicitly

This can be made to work in certain circumstances when
cross-compiling, so default to not building g-i stuff
when cross-compiling, but allow it if introspection was
enabled explicitly via -Dintrospection=enabled.

See gstreamer/gstreamer#454 and gstreamer/gstreamer#381.
