MSVC: Teach find_library to consider the 'libfoo.a' naming convention
When targeting the GNU ABI, we consider `.a` libraries first but also
accept `.lib`. For symmetry, when targeting the MSVC ABI, we now
consider `.lib` first but also accept `.a`.
This adds support for meson-generated static libraries, which are named
with the pattern `lib${foo}.a`:
