Extension fails to activate due to version check failure

[nvtcitta]

Type: Bug

The meson extension does not activate in a Remote SSH extension. Remote Extension Host log shows some kind of version check failure:

        "mesonbuild.downloadLanguageServer": true,
        "mesonbuild.configureOnOpen": true,
        "mesonbuild.mesonPath": "<absolute path to workspace>/.venv/bin/meson",
