Andrew Kelley c4f53d1ef6 fix deadlock with build-exe on an object for windows
The steps to repro this issue are:

zig build-obj hello.zig -target x86_64-windows-msvc
zig build-exe hello.obj -target x86_64-windows-msvc --subsystem console
-lkernel32 -lntdll

What was happening is that the main Compilation added a work item to
produce kernel32.lib. Then it added a sub-Compilation to build zig's
libc, which ended up calling a function with extern "kernel32", which
caused the sub-Compilation to also try to produce kernel32.lib. The main
Compilation and sub-Compilation do not coordinate about the set of
import libraries that they will be trying to build, so this caused a
deadlock.

This commit solves the problem by disabling the extern "foo" feature
from working when building compiler_rt or libc. Zig's linker code is now
responsible for putting the appropriate import libs on the linker line,
if any for compiler_rt and libc.

The ultimate goal of the Zig project is to serve users. As a first-order effect, this means users of the compiler, helping programmers to write better software. Even more important, however, are the end-users.

Zig is intended to be used to help end-users accomplish their goals. Zig should be used to empower end-users, never to exploit them financially, or to limit their freedom to interact with hardware or software in any way.

However, such problems are best solved with social norms, not with software licenses. Any attempt to complicate the software license of Zig would risk compromising the value Zig provides.

Therefore, Zig is available under the MIT (Expat) License, and comes with a humble request: use it to make software better serve the needs of end-users.

This project redistributes code from other projects, some of which have other licenses besides MIT. Such licenses are generally similar to the MIT license for practical purposes. See the subdirectories and files inside lib/ for more details.
