[pangomm] Meson build: Set default value of the 'warnings' option to 'min'

[Kjell Ahlstedt <kjellahl src gnome org>]

commit b3c503e7087144e4b9966c40d8b5ddb9fa45afe9
Author: Kjell Ahlstedt <kjellahlstedt gmail com>
Date:   Tue Mar 31 10:34:52 2020 +0200

    Meson build: Set default value of the 'warnings' option to 'min'
    
    And add 'dist-warnings' with default value 'fatal'. It's used when a
    tarball is tested by 'ninja dist' or 'meson dist'.
    https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtkmm-list/2020-March/msg00025.html
    
    Add a better error message if mm-common-get is required but not found.
