Subject: [PATCH] BLD: add option to specify numpy header location

In some cases the numpy module might not be usable during build-time,
especially when cross-compiling. (E.g. when compiling for arm32 on a
x86-64 machine, the arm32 module is not usable at build time).

This makes meson fail, as it isn't able to figure out the location of
numpy headers.

To allow an alternative way to find these headers, introduce a meson
build option, where the location of the numpy headers can be specified.

In case numpy module cannot be loaded for some reason to query the
include folder location, fall back to the value of this meson option.

Upstream-Status: Submitted [https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/pull/61095]
