Subject: [PATCH] meson: allow .standalone version to be always built

Allow .standalone version to be built on-demand, even if -Dstandalone=false
is configured. In other words, this changes the meson option from a hard
disablement to a soft "build is on/off by default".

The meson config was originally written in this way but we lost this feature
after the transition to templates. It is nice to build additional targets on
demand during development, so add this back.
