Add a MLT=0 build for a tippecanoe without MapLibre Tile support

MapLibre Tile support pulls in the maplibre-tile-spec submodule and needs
cmake to build it, which is a lot to ask of anyone who only wants to work
with Mapbox Vector Tiles.

`make MLT=0` compiles with -DNO_MLT, skips the submodule and its cmake
build entirely, and drops the MLT tests from `make test`. The result needs
no dependencies beyond the ones MVT already needed, and can be built from
a checkout with no submodules at all.

Everything that touches the MLT library is behind the #ifdef, which is
just the two files that were written for it. The option parsing and the
tile format helpers stay compiled either way, so nothing else needs to
know: --output-format=mlt reports that the build has no MLT support rather
than being an unrecognized value, and a tile that is recognized as MLT
reports the same instead of being misparsed as a protobuf, since the
format sniffing itself doesn't need the library.

CI builds and tests this configuration from a checkout without submodules,
so it can't quietly stop working.
