meson: remove CONFIG_ALL
CONFIG_ALL is tricky to use and was ported over to Meson from the
recursive processing of Makefile variables.  Meson sourcesets
however have all_sources() and all_dependencies() methods that
remove the need for it.

-  Target-independent sourcesets must exercise particular care when using
-  ``if_false`` rules.  The ``if_false`` rule will be used correctly when linking
-  emulator binaries; however, when *compiling* target-independent files
-  into .o files, Meson may need to pick *both* the ``if_true`` and
-  ``if_false`` sides to cater for targets that want either side.  To
-  achieve that, you can add a special rule using the ``CONFIG_ALL``
-  symbol::

-    # Some targets have CONFIG_ACPI, some don't, so this is not enough
-    system_ss.add(when: 'CONFIG_ACPI', if_true: files('acpi.c'),

 Target-dependent emulator sourcesets:
   In the target-dependent set lives CPU emulation, some device emulation and
   much glue code. This sometimes also has to be compiled multiple times,
