python3-numpy headers are required by pandas to compile successfully.
By default, this recipe used python3-numpy-native for compilation,
which usually works. However in case the bitness of the build-host
differs from the target, then problems arise.
For example when compiling for 32-bit ARM on a x86-64 machine, the following
error appears when trying to import the module:
ValueError: Buffer dtype mismatch, expected 'const int64_t' but got 'long long'
When running a diff on all numpy headers across native and target,
only one header differs, _numpyconfig.h, in a significant way.
This header defines the sizes of different datatypes used by numpy,
and these sizes strongly depend on the arch bitness.
This change switches from python3-numpy-native dependency to python3-numpy to
ensure that the correct headers are used. Beside this also patch the meson script,
so it accepts an option (numpy_inc_dir) to specify the location of these headers,
since it is not able to query them from the class-target module
The PYTHONPATH variable is extended with the target's RECIPE_SYSROOT, because
numpy is specified as a dependency in meson, and it needs to find the module
to continue successfully.
