Swap rsync for cp --archive for module sources copying
As Tobias reported, rsync is a bit of heavyweight dependency. We
introduced it, as a replacement for the rm/cp -r previously used.
The rsync was inspired since, unlike make, meson will build all the test
binaries/artefacts even without calling "meson test".
We can go back to cp with --archive (--preserve=timestamps at least),
which will ensure we don't get stale files. To ensure the second run
doesn't copy the source folder as _subfolder_ of the dest we need to
wildcard the copy... Plus we need a proper destination folder in the
first place.
With this, we get a no-op second+ builds - be that with meson or make.
Since the explicit always-dirty state is by design, drop the meson TODO
and document the output variable.
Confirmed by comparing both the `make --debug` output and the execution
times.

Before kmod_module_new_from_path creates a module with kmod_module_new,
it checks with kmod_pool_get_module if a module with given name already
exists.
This check can be removed, because kmod_module_new does the same. If the
module already existed, the same checks are performed as in current code
for the "if (m != NULL)" case. If it did not exist yet, m->path is NULL
and the first if-block is entered.
And since kmod_module_new takes care of incrementing the reference
