Add "setup" to meson commands

I've not been very consistent on typography, but it is a start

36 The <application>systemd</application> package needs to be
37 rebuilt to provide a working <command>systemd-logind</command> service,
38 which provides many additional features for dependent packages.

243 <!-- EDITORS NOTE: Explanation on removing userdbd and homed:
244 In BLFS, we do not fully support disk encryption. We offer instructions for
245 building 'cryptsetup' as a dependency, but we do not offer instructions for
246 actually configuring it. In addition, we generally do not include
247 functionality that could potentially conflict with other packages, or that
248 is not of any use to us (in an enterprise configuration using Thin Clients
249 or laptops with LUKS encryption, it could make sense though, but that isn't
250 the configuration that we natively support).
251
252 A few of the complications of systemd-homed include:
253 - SSH Logins
254 - Disk Space Assignments
255 - UID Assignments (chown() on login)
256 (See https://cfp.all-systems-go.io/media/homed-asg2019.pdf)
257
258 In an article I read when systemd-homed was originally unveiled, I remember
259 reading about systemd-homed causing problems with OpenSSH Private Key Auth
260 because the user would have to login at the console in order to unlock
261 their home directory, thus allowing the private key to be unlocked and
262 processed by OpenSSH. Since BLFS does not fully support encrypted disks,
263 and because systemd-homed is incompatible with our usage of useradd /
264 traditional UNIX users and groups, I advise that we take the following
265 approach to avoid any confusion:
266
267 - Leave the added Short Descriptions for homectl and userdbctl
268 - Add the above command explanations and restore the previous behavior
269
270 Should we decide to enable homed by default anytime in the future,
271 let's move cryptsetup to recommended or required.
272
273 I would be open to discussing this after the next systemd version when
274 systemd-homed has matured a bit more. -renodr -->
