meson.build: remove unnecessary `ln --relative` check

`ln --relative` is used by tools/meson-make-symlink.sh, which is never once
ran during the build process for elogind. additionally, it incurrs a
dependency on GNU coreutils (or any other `ln` that has the non-standard
`--relative` extension), so there's no real need to check for it.
