<!-- v Describe your changes below in detail. -->
<!-- v Why is this change required? What problem does it solve? -->

- Add devcontainer based on meson for fedora, and remove old outdated
ones
- Add CI for building with meson on fedora using system packages
- For this to work, rankwidth and ecl had to make optional since they
are currently not available
- The system package manager for fedora has been changed to use dnf
instead of yum
- And minor corrections to the package info

Currently encountering
- mesonbuild/meson#12970 when installing via
`meson install`
- mesonbuild/meson-python#598 when installing
via `pip`
