Rustc >= 1.44 changed the file names of the static libraries it
produces with -windows-gnu targets, to match that of mingw clang/gcc.
Considering we still build on 1.43, the best fix would be to derive the
prefix/suffix based on the version of rust, but that actually turns into
a hard-to-solve problem because of configure tests for bindgen also
depending on the prefix/suffix value to be known.
On the other hand, we're soon due to an update to 1.47, so the simpler
solution is to just push mingw builds to require 1.44 (settling for the
smallest upgrade possible for now) and to remove the split between C and
rust library prefix/suffixes.

It is only really used in js/src/devtools/rootAnalysis/Makefile.in,
and even there, the way it is used seems wrong, so fix that at the
same time (binaries have been linked into $DIST/bin directly for a
while).

The build system has skipped creating target static libraries for very
long, except in very specific cases.
We can actually do the same for host static libraries, for which we
don't even need the escape hatch to still allow to create static
libraries.

rustc generates .lib files for its libraries when compiling for Windows
(even using MinGW on Linux). But MinGW expects .a files. So we add in
rust-specific prefix and suffixes so MinGW builds can find the libs that
rustc generates. (And the RUST_LIB- variables default to the same vales
as the LIB_ variables otherwise.)

By bug 1270621, ETW support is removed. So no one uses messege compiler.

This might seem like going in the opposite direction of what we tend to do
to move to moz.build land, but those flags are irrelevant in many situations
and are better separated out.
