Builds a shared module with the given sources.
This is useful for building modules that will be `dlopen()`ed and
hence may contain undefined symbols that will be provided by the
library that is loading it.
If you want the shared module to be able to refer to functions and
variables defined in the [[executable]] it is loaded by,
you will need to set the `export_dynamic` argument of the executable to
`true`.

*Linking to a shared module on platforms other than Android is deprecated, and will be an error
in the future*.
It was previously allowed because it was the only way to have a shared-library-like target that
contained references to undefined symbols. However, since 0.40.0, the `override_options:`
[[build_target]] keyword argument can be used to create such a [[shared_library]] by passing
`override_options: 'b_lundef=false'`. Shared modules have other characteristics that make
them incompatible with linking, such as a lack of SONAME.
On macOS and iOS, linking to shared modules is disallowed by the linker, so we disallow it at
configure time.
On Android, if a shared module `foo` uses symbols from another shared module `bar`, `foo` must
also be linked to `bar`. Hence, linking one shared module to another will always be allowed when
building for Android.
