* meson.build (bzip2_dep): Simplify.
We remove `static:false` from `find_library('bz2')`.
I don't know whether the previous code was a workaround for an old
meson bug, but at least with version >=0.55.0 (which FreeType uses)
it picks the shared library when both are available.
With this commit, file `freetype2.pc` no longer contains the full path to
file `libbz2.so`; instead, it correctly uses `-lbz2`. Note that this is a
meson bug is still present in the current version (0.57.0).
