    meson/Windows: Check whether system PCRE is a static build
    
    Instead of hardcoding -DPCRE_STATIC into the CFLAGS of GLib, do the
    following on Windows only (since PCRE_STATIC only matters on Windows):
    
    -If there is no installed PCRE, use the included PCRE copy and
     enable -DPCRE_STATIC, as we did before.
    -If there is a installed PCRE, check whether the PCRE build is a static
     or DLL build by checking the linkage against pcre_free() with
     PCRE_STATIC defined works.  If it does, enable -DPCRE_STATIC.
    -On non-Windows builds, do not enable -DPCRE_STATIC
