Since meson 0.44 there is a new option type called `array`, which
allows to use an array with different values in those options.
These fits the needs of different options that are used to pass
binary paths, which have multiple paths as an alternate locations.
meson's version has been bumped to 0.44 and different options have
been changed to `array` type options.
