[PATCH v2 10/17] win+Meson: allow for xdiff to be compiled with MSVC

["Johannes Schindelin via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@xxxxxxxxx>]

From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@xxxxxx>

The `build_rust.sh` script is quite opinionated about the naming scheme
of the C compiler: It assumes that the xdiff library file will be named
`libxdiff.a`.

However, MS Visual C generates `xdiff.lib` files instead; This naming
scheme has been in use in a very, very long time.

Let's allow for that.
