build: Update how build profiles are handled

Default to development build profile if a `.git` directory exists, else
error out of build configuration.

This make `auto` the default build profile and if set and a `.git`
directory is present default to `development`, else raise an error.
Add some docs to INSTALL describing build profiles and update how they
are used in the source to match.

+Build profiles
+--------------
+
+Geary can be built using a number of different build profiles, which
+determine things like the application id, the location of stored data,
+the name of the application and other visual elements that distinguish
+release builds from other types.
+
+These can be set at build configuration time using the Meson `setup`
+and `configure` commands, using the standard `-Dprofile=…` option. See
+the `profile` option in `meson_options.txt` for the current list of
+supported types.
+
+Maintainers must select the `release` build profile when packaging
+non-test release builds, otherwise Geary will using branding and data
+locations intended for development only.
+
+Note that setting the profile does not alter such things as cmopiler
+options, use the standard Meson `--buildtype` argument for that.
