Build a configuration-matched Cargo archive from Meson and flatten its object
members into static libzstd. This gives C consumers one archive even though
the migrated Rust objects and remaining C code refer to each other.
Shared libraries whole-archive the Cargo output to retain Rust-only ABI
exports. The implementation supports Meson 0.50's generated-archive linking
rules, matching HUF mode and 32-bit configuration, and documents cross-build
target and archiver selection.
Test Plan:
- fresh Meson both-build smoke consumers and invalidDictionaries
- modern static/shared/both, forced-HUF, i686, install, and fuzzer paths
- real Meson 0.50 static and shared smoke builds
- cargo clippy, cargo clippy --benches, cargo clippy --tests, and nightly fmt

Meson always returns -pthread in dependency('threads') on non-MSVC
compilers. On Windows we use Windows threading primitives, so we don't
need this. Avoid adding -pthread to libzstd's link flags, either as a
Meson subproject or via pkg-config Libs.private, so the application
doesn't inadvertently depend on winpthreads.
Add a Meson MinGW cross-compile CI test that checks for this. It turns
out that pzstd fails to build in that environment, so have the test
skip building contrib for now.
