Yonggang Luo be848a71b0 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`:

detect-lib_foo.a-msvc
---------------------
* On Windows, when targeting the MSVC ABI, the :command:`find_library` command
now accepts ``.a`` file names after first considering ``.lib``. This is
symmetric with existing behavior when targeting the GNU ABI, in which the
command accepts ``.lib`` file names after first considering ``.a``.
