On platforms where we need to install meson from pip, one will very

Pip is missing the 'wheel' package necessary to build a wheel from
sources, if it fails to do that, it falls back to the good old:
$ setup.py install meson
which succeeds and no harm was done. However, seeing an error in the
log always raises eyebrows, so let's fix that very simply by installing
the 'wheel' package which is available on all supported platforms.

Alternatively, we could use --no-cache-dir with pip install, but I'm not sure
whether it would be enough with new versions of pip. I still feel like
installing the 'wheel' package explicitly is a more transparent and safe fix
even though we don't benefit from the resulting meson wheel package inside
containers at all.
