Since v2:
- Included Thomas suggestions

Some new users get confused between 'TCG' and 'TCI' and enable
TCI when TCG is better for they needs. Try to clarify it is
better to not use TCI when native backend is available.

Note, before Meson, warnings were summarized at the end of
./configure. Now they are displayed earlier, and likely
missed IMHO. No clue how to improve that :/

  meson: Explicit TCG backend used
  meson: Warn when TCI is selected but TCG backend is available
  configure: Improve TCI feature description
  configure: Reword --enable-tcg-interpreter as --disable-native-tcg

This will have to be reworked because the TCI option is moved to Meson 
in the pull request I have just sent, but patches 1-3 are good in concept.
