FAQ: MinGW UCRT are compatible with MSVC and also use libfoo.a
...
Prior to Windows 10, libfoo.a were usually not usable with MSVC. This is
not true any more since Autotools projects built with UCRT produce
libfoo.a that are compatible with MSVC.
This is another reason for using that naming convention in Meson.

new wrap-mode: forcefallback
...
This can be useful to make sure that a project builds when
its fallbacks are used on systems where external dependencies
satisfy the version requirements, or to easily hack on the sources
of a dependency for which a fallback exists.

This is a cosmetic change because github seems to interpret those
