meson: pass build options as a positional to gen-build-config.py

When meson.build_options() starts with -D, argparse treats it as an
unknown option flag and rejects since the build options are supposed to
be forwarded via positional arguments.

Insert -- so the options string is parsed as the CONFIGURE_LINE argument
instead, fixing build_config.c generation for any non-empty build
configuration starting with dashes.
