Since Meson will eventually be the only build system deprecate autotools
now. It can still be used by invoking configure with the flag
--enable-autotools

I think there's support for overriding the sole objection to this patch.
To confirm:
(1) The plan is to remove Autotools, perhaps after the 19.0 release
(2) This patch's purpose is to ensure that everyone knows that
Autotools will be going away (think: people who build Mesa as
part of an automated process and wouldn't notice a deprecation
warning unless it requires some action from them)
(3) We expect all reasonable concerns about Meson to be resolved
before Autotools is removed (e.g., reconfiguration problems,
retrieving configuration command line, configuration status
output, etc.)
