This is enough to fix things.
Note that build_shared_lib doesn't use the implib name for mingw or cygwin
gcc, only msvc, so I'm not quite sure how this is working, I guess we are
using the gcc facility to link directly with a dll...
Also, make BasePlatformTests.tearDown() tolerate wipe() already having been
called, rather than AllPlatformTests.test_prefix_dependent_defaults() having
to avoid wipe() on the final iteration.
Precompiled headers should generally be compiled with the same flags as
the sources that will include the header. Some deviations are safe,
however, most will cause the compiler to reject the precompiled header
or possibly lead to compiler crashes.
In addition to filtering libs out while generating the command-line, we
must also filter them out in find_library() otherwise these libs will be
detected as "found" on Windows with MSVC.

While adding link args for external deps, sometimes different
libraries come from different prefixes, and an older version of the
same library might be present in other prefixes and we don't want to
accidentally pick that up.
For example:
/usr/local/lib/libglib-2.0.so
/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/glib-2.0.pc
/usr/local/lib/libz.so
/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/zlib.pc
/home/mesonuser/.local/lib/libglib-2.0.so
/home/mesonuser/.local/lib/pkgconfig/glib-2.0.pc
PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/home/mesonuser/.local/lib/pkgconfig/:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/"
If a target uses `dependencies : [glib_dep, zlib_dep]`, it will end up
using /usr/local/lib/libglib-2.0.so instead of
/home/mesonuser/.local/lib/libglib-2.0.so despite using the pkg-config
file in /home/mesonuser/.local/lib/pkgconfig because we reorder the -L
flag and separate it from the -l flag.
With this change, external link arguments will be added to the
compiler list without de-dup or reordering.
Closes https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/1718
Boost tests are disabled on Windows for now because the detection
is actually completely broken. Once that's fixed (after the release)
we can enable it again.
