build: Use internal dependencies

We cannot rely on any build order, except the one we specify ourselves.

St depends on various generated files; other targets depend on those
files existing, so they can be included. There is no direct relationship
between targets and files, unless we declare a dependency, using the
Meson declare_dependency() constructor — which allows us to replace the
various `link_with` directives with the more appropriate `dependencies`
one, and also allows us to specify sources that must exist by the time
we build those targets.
