meson: meson does not properly compute RUNPATH on a merged-usr system

This was originally filed as https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/10430

Building systemd git master on a merged-/usr Debian sid system, results in broken test binaries. The RUNPATH is not properly set. After applying #4381, the test binaries are usable. But in case of /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu, it shouldn’t be added to RUNPATH at all, because this is a system library path. On a non-merged-/usr system, no such RUNPATH is added. It seems that the lib -> usr/lib symlink breaks the system library detection.
