Wire up both gitk and git-gui in Meson as subprojects. These two

Note that Meson expects subprojects to live in the "subprojects/"
directory. Create symlinks to fulfill this requirement.

The GitHub Actions win+Meson job fails for 'jch' with:

I didn't investigate, but presumably it is related to this topic.
