linker: Synchronize native library search in rustc and linker

Also search for static libraries with alternative naming (`libname.a`) on MSVC when producing executables or dynamic libraries, and not just rlibs.

This unblocks rust-lang#123436.

linker: Allow MSVC to use import libraries following the Meson/MinGW convention

Hi all,

This PR implements support for `MsvcLinker` to use import libraries following Meson and the MinGW toolchain's naming convention. Meson [follows the `libfoo.dll.a` naming convention](https://mesonbuild.com/FAQ.html#why-does-building-my-project-with-msvc-output-static-libraries-called-libfooa) to disambiguate between static and import libraries.

This support already existed for static libraries (see rust-lang#100101), but not for dynamic libraries. The latter case was added by duplicating the logic in `native_libs::find_native_static_library`, but a separate case was added in `link_dylib_by_name` for the Windows CRT libraries which must be handled by the linker itself.

See for prerequisites rust-lang#129366, rust-lang#126094, and rust-lang#128370.

All feedback is appreciated!

Fixes rust-lang#122455
