Changelog:
* Updated README.rst to describ meson install issue
While installing meson using pip3 install --user meson, due to python path issues, build.ninja can't be located by ninja.
It gives the following error on ninja -C build install:
ninja: Entering directory `build'
ninja: error: loading 'build.ninja': No such file or directory
After uninstalling meson and installing it without --user argument solved the issue.

+Several users have reported issues with meson installation, crux of the issue is a potential version
+mismatch between the version that is installed in root, and version that the normal user
+uses. On calling meson, it can't find the build.ninja module. This can be solved by two ways:
+
+1) Don't install meson again if it is already installed system-wide
+2) If you still went ahead and installed, uninstall meson using pip, and install again without --user argument
