Add setup_args and run meson setup explictly

Resolves #1170

The failed test seems to be caused by issues with the CI rather than this PR. It's a bit of a mixed bag, so I have copied what seems to be the main error for each failing job.

The buildifier failure is an issue in this PR:

The macOS failures do seem to correlate with the switch to use VMs in bazel's CI; I suspect they've either bumped macOS version or are missing some preinstalled tooling that we depend on as main is also failing.

@jheaff1 do you have time to review the changes in this PR?

The buildifier failure is an issue in this PR

Fixed in c7bcf7d

Looks like the other macOS failures are due to the runners upgrading the version of XCode installed.. The fix for this likely needs to come in the apple toolchain.

I think this is ready for review?

Without really knowing meson, this seems a reasonable change and CI is now all green so I'm happy with this.
