Description

As title says, would be nice to disable building tests, if not required.

```meson
option('tests', type: 'feature', value: 'enabled', yield: true, description: 'Enable or disable tests')
```
or
```meson
option('tests', type: 'boolean', value: false, description: 'Enable or disable tests')
```

Thanks

Research direction

Start by locating the uchardet wrap's Meson configuration and the path that builds its tests. Compare the proposed `tests` feature or boolean option with the existing build behavior; done means consumers can disable test building without affecting the main package.
