meson: wire up contrib/credential

[hickford]

It would be neat to also run test t0303-credential-external with GIT_TEST_CREDENTIAL_HELPER=wincred but I couldn't figure out how to do this.

Thanks for working on this! I have a patch series sitting locally for a
while that wires up all credential helpers and more, as well. It also
wires up netrc and fixes its tests to allow out-of-tree testing, which
doesn't work right now. What I don't have though is the patch for the
wincred helper.

The patch series is currently still blocked on [1], which is why I have
been holding back on it. Would you mind if I picked your patch to fix
wincred, but we then wait with wiring up remaining credential helpers
until my follow-up patch series is unblocked?

Meanwhile, I'd appreciate any feedback on [1] to help move it forward,
if you have the time :)
