meson: drop ln --relative check

The coreutils release that included this was in 2012. Since then,
systemd requires a newer meson, mostly uses install_symlink, and
so on. Additionally, where it does use this feature, it uses the
'-r' short flag. There are implementations of 'ln' that do have
support for '-r' but no longopts. Things will still work on those
but this check will fail.
