meson: fix rpath fixup
In common distributions, RPATH is only needed for internal libraries so
meson removes everything else. With Nix, the locations of libraries
are not as predictable, therefore we need to keep them in the RPATH. [1]

Previously we have just kept the RPATH produced by the linker, patching
meson not to remove it. This deprived us of potentially replacing it
with install_rpath provided by project so we had to re-add it manually,
and also introduced a vulnerability of keeping build paths in RPATH.

This commit restores the clean-up but modifies it so the items starting
with /nix/store are retained.

This should be relatively safe since the store is immutable, however,
there might be some unwanted retainment of build_rpath [2] if it contains
paths from Nix store.

Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the Nix package manager. It is periodically built and tested by the Hydra build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add nixpkgs-channels as a remote:

% git remote add channels git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git

For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. nixos-17.09 for the latest release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:

% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-17.09

For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.

NixOS Linux distribution source code is located inside nixos/ folder.
