meson: force ctags to use absolute paths

Looks like https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/957 was
reintroduced in meson-0.57.0 (and looking and https://mesonbuild.com/Release-notes-for-0-57-0.html
I'm not sure whether it was intentional or not) so run_command can no
longer be used to get around
https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/3589. Let's just force
ctags to always use absolute paths to fix it once and for all.
