With meson 1.7.0, meson won't rebuild the world anymore when running meson test so since meson 1.7.0 is in tumbleweed, debian testing, fedora rawhide and Arch Linux, drop --no-rebuild from the docs since all the default tools trees built by mkosi in the systemd repo will have meson 1.7.0 or newer installed. We keep --no-rebuild in CI because in CI we run with the same tools tree distribution as the target distribution we're building and in those it's not guaranteed for meson 1.7.0 to be available yet. The advantage of dropping --no-rebuild is that meson will now reconfigure itself if needed, which is required if we change or move around meson files, as otherwise meson tends to explode spectacularly in hard to debug ways. https://mesonbuild.com/Release-notes-for-1-7-0.html#test-targets-no-longer-built-by-default
