## `--backend=vs` now matches `-Db_vscrt=from_buildtype` behaviour in the Ninja backend
When `--buildtype=debugoptimized` is used with the Ninja backend, the VS CRT
option used is `/MD`, which is the [behaviour documented for all
backends](https://mesonbuild.com/Builtin-options.html#b_vscrt-from_buildtype).
However, the Visual Studio backend was pass `/MT` in that case, which is inconsistent.
If you need to use the MultiThreaded CRT, you should explicitly pass `-Db_vscrt=mt`
