When switching to meson, some of HAVE_* macros were renamed to
WITH_ because they did not reflect whether the build platform has
or doesn't have something, but whether we are building with some

HAVE_BSD_NSS macro too. As a result, the NSS plugin built on BSD
did not expose nss_module_register() function which made the
plugin unusable:
I've always thought the whole HAVE_ vs WITH_ distinction is a pretty
arbitrary and unhelpful part of autoconf.
Given this stat:
$ git grep WITH_ | grep meson | wc -l
261
$ git grep HAVE_ | grep meson | wc -l
31
I think we should try to eliminate 100% of using of HAVE_ so that all our
conditionals use WITH_
I'm up for this. Let me see if I can write a patch for that.
