According to https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/1080#note_998088246
QEMU does not compile with older versions of libpng, so we should check
for a good version in meson.build. According to repology.org, our supported
host target operating systems ship these versions:
Fedora 35: 1.6.37
CentOS 8 (RHEL-8): 1.6.34
Debian 11: 1.6.37
OpenSUSE Leap 15.3: 1.6.34
Ubuntu LTS 20.04: 1.6.37
FreeBSD Ports: 1.6.37
NetBSD pkgsrc: 1.6.37
OpenBSD Ports: 1.6.37
Homebrew: 1.6.37
MSYS2 mingw: 1.6.37
So it seem reasonable to require at least libpng version 1.6.34 for
our builds.
