meson: Move all code generation scripts to utils/codegen/
We have multiple code generation scripts in utils/, mixed with other miscellaneous utilities, as well as a larger code base based on mojom in utils/ipc/. To make code sharing easier between the generator scripts, without creating a mess in the utils/ directory, move all the code generation code to utils/codegen/.

+# The Mojom Parser
+
+The Mojom format is an interface definition language (IDL) for describing
+interprocess communication (IPC) messages and data types for use with the
+low-level cross-platform
+[Mojo IPC library](https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/main/mojo/public/c/system/README.md).
+
+This directory consists of a `mojom` Python module, its tests, and supporting
+command-line tools. The Python module implements the parser used by the
+command-line tools and exposes an API to help external bindings generators emit
+useful code from the parser's outputs.
+
+TODO(https://crbug.com/1060464): Fill out this documentation once the library
+and tools have stabilized.
