b00b1d5361 Meson: Use library() to build both static and shared libs
Meson supports building both static and shared libraries in a single
library() call. It has the advantage of reusing the same .o objects and
thus avoid double compilation.

d143af2c77 Remove plugin specific static build option
Static and dynamic plugins now have the same interface. The standard
--enable-static/--enable-shared toggle are sufficient.

With contributions from:

Tim-Philipp Müller <tim@centricular.com>
Mathieu Duponchelle <mathieu.duponchelle@opencreed.com>
Jussi Pakkanen <jpakkane@gmail.com> (original port)

Highlights of the features provided are:
* Faster builds on Linux (~40-50% faster)
* The ability to build with MSVC on Windows
* Generate Visual Studio project files
* Generate XCode project files
* Much faster builds on Windows (on-par with Linux)
* Seriously fast configure and building on embedded

... and many more. For more details see:

Building with Meson should work on both Linux and Windows, but may
need a few more tweaks on other operating systems.
