flake: configure the engine with --libdir=lib - #66

Without --libdir, meson chooses the library directory from the build host: lib64 when /usr/lib64 is a directory, or lib/<triplet> on Debian hosts with dpkg-architecture. A sandboxed build sees neither and uses lib. An unsandboxed build on an Ubuntu runner installs into $out/lib64, and the install phase's copy into $out/lib fails with "Not a directory".

The nightly guest suite has failed since 2026-11-10 while building the engine on the self-hosted runners:

--libdir, meson picks the library directory from the build host. On a Debian-like host it useslib/<triplet>, ifdpkg-architectureruns. Otherwise it useslib64when/usr/lib64is a real directory, which it is on Ubuntu. A sandboxed build sees neither and installs intolib. An unsandboxed build on an Ubuntu runner installs into$out/lib64, so the install phase'scp … $out/lib/fails. The hosted CI runners build sandboxed and never hit this.Testing
