MAINT: bump minimum required Meson version to 0.64.0

Depending on 0.64.0 or later allows to use the pure argument when
invoking the import('python').find_installation() Meson function,
which makes for some nicer test and example code. Meson 0.64.0 was
released on November 6th, 2022, just over a month after the current
minimum supported version.
